How Same-Day Implants Work
Same-day dental implants (also called immediate-load implants or teeth-in-a-day) combine implant placement and temporary tooth attachment in one appointment. Here's how it works:
- Extractions β Any remaining damaged teeth are removed.
- Implant placement β Titanium implant posts are surgically placed in the jawbone with enough initial stability to support a temporary prosthesis.
- In-house lab fabrication β While your surgery is underway, our on-site dental technicians begin crafting your temporary teeth based on pre-planned specifications.
- Temporary attachment β The temporary prosthesis is attached to the newly placed implants before you leave the office.
You arrive with failing or missing teeth and leave with a full, beautiful smile β all in a single visit. This is possible because Fusion's in-house lab eliminates the need to send work to an outside laboratory.
Who Qualifies for Same-Day Implants
Same-day implants work best for:
- Full-arch cases β All-on-4 and All-on-6 procedures are ideal for same-day teeth because the multi-implant design provides enough stability for immediate loading.
- Patients with adequate bone β Sufficient jawbone density is needed for the implants to achieve the stability required for immediate loading. Our 3D CT scan assessment determines this.
- Healthy patients β Overall health must support safe surgical recovery. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes may require treatment first.
For single implant cases, same-day temporary crowns are possible in some situations but depend on implant stability at placement. Your surgeon assesses this during the procedure.
Even if you don't qualify for immediate loading, you still never leave Fusion without teeth β we provide alternative temporary solutions during the healing period.
Same-Day vs Traditional Implants
- Traditional timeline: Extract teeth β wait 2-3 months β place implants β wait 3-6 months β get temporary teeth β wait for final prosthesis. Total: 6-12+ months without permanent teeth.
- Same-day timeline at Fusion: Extract teeth + place implants + receive temporary teeth ALL in one day β wait 3-6 months for healing β receive permanent zirconia prosthesis. Total: teeth from day one.
The key advantage is that you never go a single day without teeth. Our in-house lab makes this possible by fabricating your temporaries on-site while your surgery is in progress.
Why Fusion Excels at Same-Day Implants
Same-day results require a specific combination of capabilities that most practices don't have:
- In-house lab β Our dental technicians work on-site, fabricating your temporary prosthesis in real-time during your surgery. Practices without an in-house lab can't offer true same-day teeth.
- Surgical expertise β Immediate-load implants require higher initial stability, which demands experienced oral surgeons who consistently achieve optimal torque values.
- Integrated team β Our surgeons, prosthodontists, and lab technicians work together in the same building, making real-time adjustments for a precision fit.
- Advanced imaging β 3D CT scanning and computer-guided surgery ensure each implant is optimally positioned for immediate loading.
Why Patients Choose Fusion Dental Implants
- βIn-House Lab & Same-Day Results β Our on-site lab crafts your custom zirconia prosthetics, so you can walk out with a new smile the same day. No waiting weeks for an outside lab.
- βLifetime Warranty on Zirconia β We stand behind our work with a lifetime structural warranty on all full-arch zirconia restorations. If it cracks or breaks under normal use, we replace it free.
- βPrice-Match Guarantee β Because we own our lab and employ our specialists directly, we keep costs lower than corporate chains. We'll match any competitor's quote for comparable treatment.
