Same-Day Implants

Also called immediate loading. Where the bone is dense enough to hold the implants completely still from the moment they are placed, a fixed provisional bridge can be screwed on the same day. You leave with teeth that are fixed in place rather than a removable plate, and the bone integrates underneath while you carry on normally.

How it's done

1. 01

   Candidacy check

   A CBCT scan confirms enough bone volume and density. This is the step that decides everything, and not every jaw qualifies.

2. 02

   Placement

   Implants are placed at a high primary stability — measured, not estimated — because the provisional loads them immediately.

3. 03

   Provisional bridge

   A fixed bridge is fitted and screwed down the same day, adjusted so the bite spreads evenly.

4. 04

   Integration

   Three months of normal life while the bone fuses.

5. 05

   Permanent bridge

   Second trip: the provisional comes off and the final restoration is fitted, made to the shape you have been wearing.

Who it suits

People replacing a full arch or several teeth who cannot accept months with a gap or a removable denture.

Where it falls short

Requires good bone. Where stability is borderline, a surgeon should refuse to load immediately — loading a mobile implant is how implants fail.

Recovery

Swelling for several days. Strictly soft diet for the first weeks — the provisional is fixed, but the implants underneath are still integrating.
