Dental Implant Dentistry
Immediate Dental Implants
Immediate dental implants allow an implant to be placed at the same time a tooth is extracted. When conditions are favorable, this reduces overall treatment time, helps preserve bone and gum contours, and can speed the return of function and esthetics.
CBCT-guided evaluation determines whether immediate placement is appropriate. When it is, precision extraction is combined with implant placement and, in some cases, a temporary restoration.
Who it's for
- A tooth that needs removal and may be replaced with an implant
- Adequate bone support and no active infection at the site
- Good potential for primary implant stability
- A preference for fewer surgical visits when suitable
What to expect
- 1
CBCT evaluation
3D imaging confirms whether bone and site conditions allow immediate placement.
- 2
Extraction
The tooth is removed with precision techniques that preserve surrounding bone.
- 3
Implant placement
The implant is placed into the socket at the same visit when stability allows.
- 4
Provisional (when suitable)
In selected cases a temporary crown is placed; otherwise the site heals first.
Recovery & aftercare
Aftercare is similar to a routine implant or extraction — mild soreness and swelling for a few days with a softer diet.
The implant then integrates over the following months before the final restoration is completed.
Common questions
- Can every tooth be replaced immediately?
- No. Suitability depends on bone quality, the absence of active infection, and how stable the implant is at placement.
- Will I leave with a tooth the same day?
- In selected cases a temporary crown can be placed immediately; in others the site heals before the restoration.
Want a second opinion first?
If you've been quoted implant, bone-grafting, or sinus-lift treatment and want to be sure it's the right plan, a specialist second opinion is a low-cost, no-pressure way to confirm your options before you commit.
