You have definitely heard about same-day implants and thought it might be a myth. However, you can get a tooth extraction and a dental implant placement in one visit, without multiple appointments or waiting several months.

What Are Same-Day Implants?

Same-day implant teeth offer a faster approach, eliminating multiple surgeries and prolonged waiting periods. During one dental appointment, you can extract the severely compromised, unrestorable tooth, surgically placing a titanium dental implant screw into the jawbone, combined with a temporary crown. That means you can get an immediate beautiful smile on the same visit.

Know all about the process of dental implants in Turkey, types, and advantages.

After tooth extraction, the bone surrounding the roots of the extracted tooth remains intact. With blood aggregation in the extraction socket, the dental surgeon, using an implant-guided template, starts to drill at a certain angle and secure the dental implant screw.

The blood flow and the periodontal tissue around the titanium screw initiate the natural process of healing and formation of new bone, so it induces osseointegration, which is the fusion of the new bone around the titanium implant screw.

Benefits of Immediate Implant Placement

There are multiple benefits of tooth extraction and implant placement in the same visit:

Fewer surgical interventions and reduced healing time: As you put the implant screw in on the exact same day as the tooth extraction, you avoid undergoing a secondary surgical procedure, which means a shorter healing period and less discomfort.
Skipping a dental visit: Rather than visiting the dentist for an extraction, waiting a few months for healing, then returning for implant placement and waiting several more months, you skip at least 4 months of waiting and decrease the chair time needed.
Immediate aesthetic results: You can receive a new smile on the same extraction day with temporary crowns, which in turn has multiple positive psychological impacts, including improving your smile, clear speech, and your self-confidence.
Bone and gum preservation, as immediate placement, helps to maintain bone density by induce bone osseointegration with the titanium screw, preventing resorption and also guards against gum recession at the extraction site. See the treatment of receding gums with Suave Clinic.
Higher success rate: Having a same-day implant has a high success rate, like conventional implants-over 95%- provided it’s performed for a suitable case by a highly experienced implantologist.

Who is recommended for same-day implants?

Immediate implant placement (often called immediate loading) requires highly specific clinical conditions to be successful. During your consultation, your implantologist will evaluate your anatomy to ensure you meet the criteria for a single-visit procedure.

Indications: Who is recommended for same-day implants?

Patients with healthy bones and gingiva: Same-day dental implant success mainly depends on the fast, healthy healing process, which requires healthy periodontal tissue and bone support.
Good general health: The overall systemic health conditions have a direct impact on natural’s body healing ability and osseointegration process with the surrounding tissue.
Non- smoker patients: Active smoking negatively affects general health and specifically the oral tissue, compromising tissue health and healing.

Contraindications: Signs that you need traditional dental implants

Certain medical conditions deteriorate bone osseointegration, such as uncontrolled diabetes, osteoporosis, autoimmune disease, and any medication that has a direct effect on bone density, like bisphosphonates.
Compromised bone level: In some cases with horizontal jawbone resorption, bone volume is insufficient and requires a preliminary bone graft. In these cases, it’s difficult to achieve immediate primary stability for the implant screws.
Active gum disease: Any periodontal infection (periodontitis) will compromise the normal tissue healing process and cause dental implant failure in the future.
Heavy smoking: Tobacco products affect blood circulation and therefore affect the healing process and increase the risk of infection. That’s why you should not smoke after a tooth extraction.
Severe Bruxism (Teeth grinding): These forces cause microscopic movements (micro-movements) that can disrupt the implant before it fully integrates with the bone and cause implant failure if not treated.

Same-Day Dental Implants Treatment Process

While the timeline is accelerated, same-day implants follow a rigorous, precision-driven clinical pathway. It always starts with FREE online consultation with our dental specialists, then you book your journey to Turkey to begin the dental implant procedure.

Comprehensive 3D Diagnostics: The process begins with a thorough oral examination and advanced 3D CBCT imaging. This allows the dental team to assess your jawbone density, map nerve pathways, and plan the exact trajectory of the implant.
Treatment Planning: Based on the clinical diagnosis, your implantologist at Suave Clinic determines if your bone can provide the necessary primary stability for immediate dental placement.
Extraction and Surgical Placement: Under profound local anesthesia, the compromised tooth is gently extracted to preserve its bony socket. The biocompatible titanium implant is then surgically placed into the jawbone using precise 3D surgical guides.
Placement of a healing abutment and provisional prosthesis: Whether you require a single temporary crown or a full-arch bridge (like All-on-4 dental implants), a provisional restoration is securely attached to the implant immediately after surgery. This temporary tooth is carefully designed to avoid heavy biting forces while you heal.
Final Permanent Restoration: After a 3-to-6-month healing period, once the implant has fully fused with the jawbone, you will return to receive your final, custom-crafted ceramic crown restoration for lifelong function and aesthetics.

Immediate Loading Implants vs. Traditional Dental Implant Treatment

Same-day implants differ from traditional dental implants in some key ways, including:

Treatment Aspect	Same-Day Dental Implants	Traditional Dental Implants
Timeline & Clinic Visits	You receive a temporary tooth on the same day. The complete process, including your final ceramic crown, wraps up in 3 to 6 months with significantly fewer clinic visits.	The process is spread across multiple appointments. You must wait several weeks for the extraction site to heal, making the total journey last 6 months to over a year.
Surgical Procedures	One single surgical intervention. A dental visit for tooth extraction and implant placement into the extraction site, in the same visit.	Involves at least two distinct surgeries. The tooth is extracted first, and after a period of bone healing, you undergo a second surgery to place the implant post.
Ideal Candidacy & Bone Density	Requires excellent overall health and a naturally dense jawbone to achieve immediate “primary stability” (a tight, secure fit from day one).	Highly flexible and ideal for complex cases. If you lack sufficient jawbone density, a dental bone graft and membrane can be placed and allowed to heal before the implant is introduced, like in full-mouth implant surgeries.
Cost & Travel Efficiency	The upfront procedure cost is higher due to advanced 3D planning and the temporary crown. However, international patients often save significantly by eliminating extra flights and hotel stays.	The baseline procedural cost is generally lower. However, requiring multiple international trips and potential preliminary bone grafting can ultimately increase your total investment.
Aftercare & Diet Restrictions	Requires strict discipline. Because your temporary crown is attached immediately, you must stick to a soft-food diet to prevent chewing forces from shifting the healing implant.	Oral hygiene is also mandatory. However, the implant remains safely hidden beneath the gum line, completely protected from biting forces until the final crown is attached months later.

Limitations of same-day dental implants?

Although same-day implant is a streamlined and efficient dental procedure, it has some limitations that may affect the success of the total procedure. Such as:

Strict Patient Criteria: It is heavily technique-sensitive and requires an experienced implantologist. Only patients with optimal bone density and excellent systemic health qualify.
Provisional Crown Limitations: The immediate temporary crown is designed for aesthetic purposes, not heavy function. It is fabricated from acrylic or composite, making it more prone to chipping than your final ceramic crown.
Dietary Restrictions: To prevent implant failure, patients must strictly adhere to a soft or liquid diet for several weeks to prevent excessive bite force from shifting the healing implant. Discover what soft food you should eat after tooth extraction.

How Much Do Same-Day Dental Implants Cost?

In Turkey, a single same-day dental implant cost typically starts around $600, while same-day all-on-4 dental implants start from $1400. On the other hand, the exact same treatments in the USA are much more expensive, often exceeding $20000 per arch.

The final exact cost is variable according to various factors, including your clinical needs, bone conditions, and the implant brand used.

Dental implants aftercare

Proper dental implant aftercare is essential for ensuring successful healing and implant integration.

What you should do:

Maintain Oral Hygiene: Keep your mouth clean using a specialized ultra-soft-bristled toothbrush.
Manage Swelling: Keep your head elevated. Apply an ice pack to the outside of your cheek for 15–20 minutes on, and 15–20 minutes off, strictly during the first 48 hours.
Modify Your Diet: Eat only soft, cool, or room-temperature foods for the first few days, and chew on the side opposite the surgical site.
Take Medications: Strictly follow your prescription regimen for analgesics and antibiotics.
Attend Follow-Ups: If you have non-dissolvable sutures, they will be removed within 7–10 days post-surgery.

What You Must Avoid:

No Smoking or Vaping: Tobacco restricts blood flow and is a leading cause of implant failure. You must stop smoking for at least 2 weeks post-surgery.
No Sucking Motions: Do not use straws or spit vigorously, as this can dislodge the healing blood clot and cause a painful condition known as dry socket.
No Hard Foods: Avoid hot, crunchy, or chewy foods that could irritate the surgical site or apply pressure to the temporary crown.
No Direct Pressure: Do not touch the surgical area with your tongue or fingers. Never cover the healing implant site with old removable dentures unless explicitly adjusted and approved by your dentist.

The Suave Dental Clinic Aftercare Guarantee: Even after you return to your home country, our medical team remains by your side. Suave Dental Clinic provides scheduled remote check-ups, once a week for the first 3 weeks, and then once a month, to monitor your osseointegration and ensure your healing process is completely on track before you return for your final ceramic restorations.
