Same-Day Dental Implants — Immediate Tooth Replacement Guide

Same-day dental implants, also called immediate implants, place the implant and a temporary tooth in a single visit. This means you walk out of the clinic with a replacement tooth the same day your natural tooth is removed, or the same day your implant is placed. Immediate implants have a success rate of approximately 90 to 95% when case selection is done properly.

In Bhubaneswar, many patients are drawn to same-day implants because they want to avoid having a visible gap in their smile. This is especially important for front teeth and for professionals who interact with people regularly. However, same-day implants are not suitable for everyone and require careful evaluation.

At YourDentist Laser Dental Clinic in Bhubaneswar, Dr. Arpita Dash offers same-day implants for suitable candidates, using CBCT-guided planning to ensure the best possible outcomes.

What are same-day dental implants?

Traditional implant treatment takes 3 to 6 months. The implant is placed, the gum is closed, and you wait for healing before the crown is attached. Same-day implants skip the waiting period by placing a temporary crown on the implant immediately.

Temporary tooth	Same day	After 2 to 6 months
Surgery visits	1 to 2	2 to 3
Total treatment time	3 to 6 months	4 to 8 months
Healing with tooth in place	Yes	No
Eligibility	Selective cases	Most patients

Who is a candidate for same-day implants?

Same-day implants are not for everyone. Dr. Dash evaluates the following:

Good candidates

• Healthy gums with no infection
• Sufficient jawbone density and volume
• Good oral hygiene
• Non-smoker
• No uncontrolled medical conditions
• Front tooth replacement where aesthetics matter
• Stable implant at the time of placement

Not suitable for

• Active gum disease
• Severe bone loss requiring grafting
• Heavy smokers
• Uncontrolled diabetes
• Teeth with severe infection at the root
• Patients who grind teeth heavily

The same-day implant procedure

Step 1: Consultation and CBCT scan

Dr. Dash examines the tooth and takes a CBCT scan to assess bone quality and plan the implant position.

Step 2: Tooth extraction (if needed)

If a tooth needs to be removed, it is extracted carefully to preserve the surrounding bone.

Step 3: Implant placement

The implant is placed into the socket immediately after extraction. The implant must be stable enough to support a temporary crown.

Step 4: Temporary crown

A temporary crown is attached to the implant. This crown is not for chewing hard foods. It is mainly for appearance and gum shaping.

Step 5: Healing

Over the next 2 to 6 months, the implant fuses with the bone. You wear the temporary crown during this time.

Step 6: Permanent crown

Once healing is complete, the temporary crown is replaced with a permanent crown.

Same-day implant (single tooth)	₹30,000 - ₹55,000

Permanent crown (zirconia)	₹12,000 - ₹20,000

Risks of same-day implants

Same-day implants have a slightly higher risk of failure than traditional implants because the implant is loaded immediately. Risks include:

• Imant not fusing with bone
• Temporary crown coming loose
• Gum recession around the implant
• Infection

Dr. Dash minimises these risks through careful case selection and CBCT-guided planning.

Benefits of same-day implants

• Leave the clinic with a tooth the same day
• No gap in your smile during healing
• Fewer surgery visits
• Gum heals naturally around the temporary crown
• Faster overall treatment experience

What to expect during healing

• The temporary crown is not for chewing. Avoid biting on it.
• Eat soft foods on the opposite side for 2 to 4 weeks.
• Brush gently around the implant.
• Do not smoke.
• Attend all follow-up appointments.

Caring for a same-day implant

• Brush twice daily with a soft brush
• Do not chew hard foods on the implant side for 6 to 8 weeks
• Use a chlorhexidine mouthwash as directed
• Visit the dentist for regular checkups
• Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
• Avoid smoking during the entire healing period
• Report any looseness of the temporary crown immediately

Same-day implant success factors

Dr. Dash evaluates all these factors before recommending same-day implants.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a dental implant the same day as extraction? Yes, in suitable cases. Dr. Dash will assess your bone and gum condition to determine if same-day implant is possible.

How much does a same-day implant cost in Bhubaneswar? A same-day implant costs ₹30,000 to ₹55,000 at YourDentist, including the temporary crown.

Is same-day implant safe? Yes, when done by an experienced dentist on a suitable candidate. The success rate is slightly lower than traditional implants but still high.

Can I eat with the temporary crown? The temporary crown is for appearance only. Avoid chewing on it for 6 to 8 weeks.

How long until I get my permanent crown? The permanent crown is placed after 3 to 6 months of healing.

Can smokers get same-day implants? Smoking significantly increases the risk of implant failure. Dr. Dash recommends quitting smoking at least 2 weeks before and during the entire healing period for same-day implants.

What happens if the implant fails? If an implant fails to fuse with the bone, it is removed and the area is allowed to heal. A new implant can be placed after 3 to 6 months. Dr. Dash monitors healing closely to detect any issues early.

Are same-day implants more expensive than traditional implants? Same-day implants cost slightly more due to the immediate temporary crown and more complex planning, but the difference is usually modest.
