Same Day Dental Implants
At Plano Family Dental we have an implant specialist that has experience with extracting teeth and placing an implant the same day (same day dental implant). This allows you to bypass months or even years of replacing lost teeth with a restoration.
Overview of getting a same day implant
The specialist will make you comfortable and numb by injection. Since only one surgical appointment is needed to take out your tooth and place the implant, this option fits those with a busy schedule. Your damaged tooth is taken out and then the post for an implant is placed in the space. Patients usually get better fusion of their jawbone with the implant when a tooth is extracted and an implant placed immediately. A temporary plastic retainer with a false tooth can be fitted to your mouth if your tooth shows in your smile. Sometimes a same day implant can be done even if you need a bone graft, depending on how much grafting is needed and other health conditions or habits. The implant will still need a few months for your jaw bone to fuse around it and keep it in place. Same day implants, as well as traditional implants, have a success rate of around 95%.
Am I a good candidate for a same day dental implant
You are a good candidate for same day implants if you have good oral hygiene at home and you have good overall health. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes (A1C is consistently 7.0 or higher), active gum disease, some autoimmune disorders, or bleeding disorders are NOT good candidates.

How much does a same day implants cost
A same day dental implant can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $6,000 per tooth. It all depends on the materials used, how much, and on bone graft needs.
Are same day dental implants worth the cost
If you need a replacement tooth fast or like the convenience of less appointments, a same day dental implant is worth the cost.
Why are same day dental implants so expensive
The cost is due to advanced technology and specialized dental materials needed to have a successful implant placed in one day. It also includes the cost of extracting a tooth, surgical expertise, and custom temporary restorations.
