Losing a tooth is stressful enough. If you’ve been putting off doing something about it because the process sounds long, complicated, or uncertain, that hesitation makes complete sense. There’s an option that can get you from extraction to a functional tooth in a single appointment.
For many people, the biggest appeal is straightforward: fewer separate visits and less time with a visible gap. Same day dental implants come up often when you start exploring tooth replacement options.

How Same Day Implant Placement Works
When the site is healthy enough to support it, a tooth extraction and implant placement can happen during a single appointment. That combination is what makes this approach different from a traditional implant timeline, where you wait weeks or months between stages.
Precision matters here. Our oral surgeons use computer-guided planning software to map out implant placement before surgery begins, allowing for accurate, predictable positioning that would be difficult to achieve otherwise.
A temporary tooth is typically attached the same day so you leave the appointment with something functional in place.
That temporary restoration isn’t the final result. The implant still needs time to integrate with the surrounding bone, a healing period that generally spans several months. The permanent restoration is placed once integration is confirmed. Long-term success depends on how well that process completes, which is why the temporary phase matters as much as the surgery itself.
Who Same Day Implants Work Best For
Candidacy for same-day placement depends on bone quality and gum health at the time of extraction, not simply on a preference for speed. If the site lacks the density needed to stabilize an implant immediately, a staged approach will produce better long-term results, and that’s still a path forward. Concerns like bone density or gum health are exactly the kinds of things our team works through with you at your consultation. The goal is a clear picture of your options, not a checklist that sends you home.
This option can apply to a single missing tooth or to a full arch replacement plan, depending on what your evaluation reveals.
Imaging, a clinical exam, and a review of your overall oral health give our oral surgeons the information needed to say clearly whether same-day placement is a realistic path for your case.
On the financial side, coverage for tooth implants varies by individual policy, and many patients find that dental insurance covers little to none of the cost. Our team makes sure you have the full picture, including any third-party financing programs that may help make treatment more accessible, before any commitment is made. Financing is available through Proceed, Cherry, and CareCredit.
