What Are Same-Day Dental Implants?

Same-day dental implants, also known as immediate-load implants, allow patients to receive their new teeth in a single visit. Unlike traditional implants, which require several months for the implant to heal before placing a crown, same-day implants allow you to leave the office with a temporary restoration the same day your implants are placed.

Pros and Cons of Same-Day Dental Implants

Like any dental procedure, same-day implants have both advantages and disadvantages as replacement teeth.

Pros:

Faster Treatment: You’ll receive your new tooth or teeth in just one visit.
Convenience: Fewer appointments mean less time off work and a quicker solution.
Immediate Function: You can speak and eat normally right away.
Cost-Effective: While the upfront cost may be higher, fewer visits can make it a more economical option in the long run.

Cons:

Risk of Implant Failure: Since the restoration is placed immediately, there’s a slightly higher risk of implant failure compared to traditional methods.
Limited Candidate Pool: Not everyone qualifies for same-day implants, especially those with certain health conditions or gum disease.
Higher Upfront Cost: Although potentially more cost-effective in the long term, the initial cost may be higher than traditional implants.

How Do Same-Day Dental Implants Work?

Same-day dental implants start with an initial consultation to determine candidacy. During this exam, your dentist will assess your oral health and jawbone density using advanced imaging technology. If you’re a suitable candidate, the dentist will proceed with a minimally invasive procedure to place the implant. A temporary tooth is attached immediately, allowing you to leave with a functioning smile.

The temporary tooth remains in place until the implant integrates with your jawbone, typically over several months. Once fully healed, the temporary restoration will be replaced with a permanent crown.

Who Qualifies for Same-Day Dental Implants?

Candidates for same-day implants typically:

Have good oral health and hygiene
Possess enough jawbone density to support an implant
Do not have gum disease or other conditions that hinder healing
Are committed to maintaining their oral health post-procedure

Same-Day Dental Implant Costs

The cost of same-day dental implants averages around $4,000 per implant. However, costs can vary based on location, case complexity, implant type, and any additional procedures needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are same-day implants covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage for same-day implants varies by plan. It’s best to check with your provider to confirm what’s covered.

Are there any restrictions after a same-day dental implant procedure?
Your dentist may advise avoiding hard or crunchy foods for a few days and recommend rinsing your mouth with salt water. Follow all post-procedure instructions carefully for a smooth recovery.

Are same-day implants better than traditional dental implants?
Same-day implants offer a much faster solution compared to traditional implants. While both require similar consultation and planning, the procedure and temporary restoration are completed in one visit.

Can a dental implant be placed on the same day as a tooth extraction?
In some cases, yes. Immediate implant placement can occur after an extraction if conditions such as bone density and gum health allow. However, not all patients qualify for this procedure.
