What Are Same-Day Dental Implants?
Same-day dental implants, also known as immediate-load implants, allow patients to receive a new tooth or set of teeth in just one visit. Unlike traditional implants that require months of healing before the final restoration, one day dental implants provide an immediate, functional solution.
The Same-Day Implant Process at AZ Implant & Denture Center
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We use advanced imaging technology to assess your oral health and determine your eligibility for same-day implants.
- Custom Treatment Planning: Dr. Cooper creates a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
- Implant Placement: Using minimally invasive techniques, we place the implant into your jawbone.
- Immediate Temporary Restoration: A temporary crown or prosthetic is attached to the implant, allowing you to leave our office with a functional, aesthetic smile. This temporary restoration is designed to protect the implant site during healing.
- Healing Period: Over the next few months, your implant will integrate with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
- Permanent Restoration: Once healing is complete, we’ll replace your temporary restoration with a custom-made, permanent crown, bridge, or denture, designed to match your natural teeth perfectly.
- Follow-up Care: We continue to monitor your implant and restoration to ensure long-term success.
It’s important to understand that while you will leave our office with a functional tooth on the same day, the final, permanent restoration is placed after a healing period. This approach allows for optimal integration of the implant with your jawbone, ensuring the best long-term results.
Benefits of Choosing Same-Day Implants
- Immediate Results: Walk out of our office with a new smile in just one day.
- Reduced Treatment Time: Fewer appointments mean less time away from your busy life.
- Improved Confidence: Enjoy a complete smile without waiting months for your final restoration.
- Preservation of Bone Structure: Immediate placement helps maintain jawbone integrity.
Are You a Candidate for Same-Day Implants?
Ideal candidates for same-day implants typically:
- Have good overall oral health
- Possess adequate bone density in the jaw
- Are non-smokers or willing to quit for the duration of treatment
- Have realistic expectations about the procedure and outcomes
During your free consultation, we’ll assess your individual case to determine if same-day implants are the best option for you. If you don’t qualify, our Sun City West team can check if supplemental procedures like gum or bone grafting can help prepare you for dental implants.

- Use a low-abrasive, implant-specific toothpaste to avoid scratching the implant surface.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for monitoring and adjustments.
- Avoid hard or sticky foods during the initial healing period.
Our team will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible outcomes for your same-day implants.
Frequently Asked Questions
The restoration you receive on the day of implant placement is temporary. It’s designed to protect the implant site and provide functionality while allowing for proper healing. After a few months, when the implant has fully integrated with your jawbone, we’ll replace this temporary restoration with a permanent, custom-made crown, bridge, or denture.
While the upfront cost of same-day implants may be higher, they can be more cost-effective in the long run due to fewer appointments and a shorter overall treatment time. The exact cost varies based on individual cases and the number of implants needed.
Dental implant surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort. Some mild discomfort and swelling may occur after the anesthesia wears off, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Most patients report less discomfort than expected.
While you’ll have functional teeth immediately, it’s recommended to stick to a soft food diet for the first few weeks to allow for proper healing. Your dentist will provide specific guidelines on gradually returning to your normal diet based on your individual healing progress.
