What are same day implants?

Traditional dental implants involve placing the titanium root, then waiting 3–6 months for it to fuse with the jawbone before the final crown or bridge is fitted. Same day implants compress that timeline — the implant is placed and a fixed temporary tooth (or full bridge) is attached to it on the same day.

You leave with a complete, functional smile while the implants quietly integrate with the bone underneath. The final, permanent restoration is then fitted a few months later.

How osseointegration works

Osseointegration is the process by which a titanium implant fuses with the surrounding jawbone, becoming as stable as a natural tooth root. With a same day approach we use carefully chosen implant systems, precise 3D planning and a temporary tooth that doesn't put excess load on the implant — protecting that healing process while you carry on with daily life.

The benefits of same day implants

  • Improved smile, speech and bite from day one
  • No removable dentures required during healing
  • Fewer dental appointments overall
  • Better gum profile around the new tooth
  • Immediate boost in self-confidence
  • Works for single teeth and full arches (All-on-4)

Is everyone suitable?

Same day implants depend on having enough good-quality bone to support the implant immediately. Patients with significant bone loss may need a bone graft first, or a more traditional staged protocol.

A 3D CT scan and full assessment at our St Albans clinic will tell us exactly how much bone you have and whether same day implants are the right option for you.
