Fast Dental Implants in a Day
Same Day Implants
We can now extract failing teeth and insert dental implants in their place on the same day. This is also called Immediate Implants.
On the day of the surgery, you will have the dental implant surgically placed into your jawbone with a provisional crown on allowing you to use the tooth on the same day. The provisional crown is made of a very hard plastic material.
This means that you will not have any functional, aesthetic or speech interruptions meaning you can eat, smile and talk again with confidence. This is unlike conventional implants that can take 3 months before a provisional crown is provided that can be actually used.
There are, however, a few misconceptions about the Same Day Implants concept. Many people believe that the entire treatment will be completed on one day including the porcelain component of the implant tooth. However, this is not the case.
On the day of the surgery two situations can occur:
- The implant is surgically inserted and a provisional (temporary) crown is placed on top of it. This means you get a tooth on the same day of treatment and not have to wait for a few months for osteointegration to occur. Process.
- A failing tooth is extracted, and an implant placed into the empty socket of the tooth. This means your aesthetics and ability to speak are retained.
Thereafter, once the implant treatment has been reviewed to be successful with proper osseointegration, the definitive porcelain restorations that fit in the place of the plastic provisional restorations are created. However, this can take a few months.
When are Same Day Implants recommended
A detailed and attentive clinical evaluation will provide the correct diagnosis. Your dentist will then be able to direct you towards the correct choice of implant treatment.
An important consideration when using this type of implant system is that the dental implant must be very stable after having placed in surgically. For this reason, this system can only be used in cases that seen to have a good dense bone.
Hence, if the quality and quantity of bone is not deemed good or enough, then precursor treatments such as bone grafts may have to be considered. If pre-implant treatments are indicated then Same Day Implants will not be applicable.
These cases will still be able to have a form of implant treatment but the protocols will be different and a provisional restoration or prosthesis will not be provided.
This is because only if the bone is stable and supportive can there be biting forces applied to the teeth.
These biting forces stimulate bone growth into the threading of the implant screw structure. In good dense bone there is not much work for the bone osteoblasts to work in order to lay down more bone and for osseointegration to occur.
The implant is already steady and firmly fixed in the bone. This creates the confidence to allow the patient to be able to use the implant teeth. This is called Immediate Loading.
The “Same Day Implants” or also commonly labelled “Implants in a day” technique can be used for a full implant treatment in a jaw without teeth.
It is also commonly used when a single tooth is failing at the front of the mouth and it has to be extracted. In these situations, and only if the bone quality is good, the tooth is extracted and the dental implant plus plastic provisional crown is placed (in place of the original tooth) in the bone all on the same day.
So, the patient walks into the practice with their own failing tooth and leaves with the implant tooth.
Benefits of Same Day Implants
- The patient’s self-confidence will not be affected since they will not be without a tooth at any time.
- The patient will not have to wear dentures which are often synonymous with an aged person.
- By having provisional teeth made at the time of implant placement, the dentist able to contour and condition the gum profile around the implant quicker than with a conventional protocol.
- Speech will not be affected.
- The patient can continue to eat properly without having to adjust to dentures
- The treatment is cost-effective.
An important consideration is that this treatment is very technique sensitive and so must be carried out only by a very skilled clinician. It is also very case specific and can only be an optimal treatment if used in the right situation. At The Perfect Smile, we have specialists that not only help in the selection process of your choices and the actual implant treatment but also in the aftercare of these solutions.

At The Perfect Smile, we understand that patients may be naturally nervous when thinking of undergoing dental implant surgery.
We would like to reassure you that the dental implant treatment is not painful at all due to proper use of local anesthetics to deeply numb the bone and gum.
We can also use sedation techniques that also contribute to no pain or discomfort. More.
Single Dental Implant Timeline
- Step 1: We will start the process with a highly detailed and thorough comprehensive examination and assessment. We will then construct a customised treatment plan and design your implant treatment.
- Step 2: Your new implant(s) will be surgically placed in your mouth.
- Step 3: On this review appointment we will assess your healing and make sure everything is going as planned.
- Step 4: Records and impression will be taken to construct the top part (post and crown) of the implant.
- Step 5: The final part of the implant (post and crown) will be fitted.
- Step 6: This appointment gives you the opportunity to have any further refining cosmetic enhancements or minor adjustments.
Insufficient Bone
- When a tooth is removed from the mouth, the surrounding bone that holds the tooth in place will diminish in height and width and volume. This may have an effect on the immediate and final appearance of the gum tissue in this area and possibly the surrounding teeth as well.
- The larger the width of bone or the height of the bone, the wider and longer implant can be. A wider and longer implant increases implant stability and thus success. We asses the bone height and width by taking digital radiographs or by taking a CT Scan. More.

Oral health benefits
When we implant a titanium implant into the jawbone, it becomes part of your oral foundation.
This offers a number of health benefits that include preventing any bone loss whilst supporting the jawbone structure and reduces the risk of gum disease. More.

Minimal pain
Is the process painful? You can expect to feel some pain when having a new implant, however with modern anesthetics the discomfort is kept to a minimum. Post process there can be some swelling and aching for 5 -10 days.
Many patients have multiple implants in a single day without undue pain or distress. More.
Natural-looking
Will my implants match the colour of my existing teeth? Implants are colour matched and then shaped to blend in with your existing teeth. To the naked eye an implant is very hard to spot.
