Understanding Same-Day Implants
Same-day dental implants work by placing the implant and a temporary crown in one visit when appropriate. Digital scans are used to plan the exact position of the implant, helping it feel stable from the start. The temporary crown fills the gap straight away, improving appearance and comfort while the implant slowly bonds with the bone.
The process begins with a full assessment to check suitability. The implant is placed under local anaesthetic, and a temporary crown is fitted. After healing, the bone secures the implant firmly, and a custom final crown is attached for lasting strength and a natural look.
The Right Candidate
You might be a suitable candidate for same-day dental implants in Polegate, East Sussex, if any of the following apply:
- Recently lost a tooth: If you’ve just lost a tooth and want an immediate replacement, same-day implants restore appearance and function quickly after extraction.
- Healthy gums and bone: Good gum health and sufficient bone density are essential to support implant stability and promote long-term osseointegration success effectively.
- Busy lifestyle: If you prefer fewer appointments and immediate results, same-day implants provide convenience without compromising quality or long-term predictability of outcomes.
- Good general health: Ideal candidates maintain excellent oral hygiene and have no uncontrolled medical conditions that could interfere with healing or implant integration process.
Why Choose Same-Day Dental Implants?
Natural appearance
A same-day implant temporarily preserves your smile while the final crown is matched precisely to adjacent teeth for natural results.
Immediate restoration
A provisional crown is attached after surgery to restore appearance and chewing while the implant integrates with the jawbone.
Fewer appointments
Combining implant placement and a temporary prosthesis reduces visits, saving time while maintaining careful planning and clinical safety.
Preserves bone
Immediate implant placement helps maintain jawbone volume and facial contours, reducing the bone loss that often follows extraction.
Predictable planning
Advanced digital planning and guided surgery improve accuracy, allowing safe same-day restorations for patients.
Faster return to normal
Immediate crowns let patients smile with ease, restoring confidence while the definitive crowns are fabricated and fitted.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Take a look at the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about this treatment.
Can I eat comfortably with the same-day temporary crowns?
Yes. Same-day temporary crowns are designed to restore basic chewing function immediately. While they allow you to eat most soft foods comfortably, it’s best to avoid hard or sticky foods until the final crown is securely fitted.
How long does healing take before the final crown can be put in?
Healing typically takes three to six months, allowing the implant to fully bond with the jawbone. Once osseointegration is complete, the final crown can be fitted, providing long-term stability, natural appearance, and reliable chewing function.
How long do same-day dental implants last?
When properly cared for, same-day dental implants can last many years, often over a decade. Their longevity depends on good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding habits like smoking or teeth grinding that may affect implant stability.
