How Same-Day Dental Implants Work
Same-day dental implants—also known as immediate implants or same-day teeth—are an advanced implant technique that allows patients to receive dental implants and temporary replacement teeth in a single visit. Unlike the traditional implant process, which requires a healing period between implant placement and attaching the new teeth, this approach can restore your smile in as little as one day.
At Center for Advanced Dentistry in Loveland, CO, eligibility for same-day implants depends on your oral health and bone structure. Patients with significant bone loss, active gum disease, or certain medical conditions may need additional procedures before implants can be placed, which can extend the treatment timeline. Read on to learn more about the factors that may affect your candidacy for same-day dental implants.

Are Same-Day Implants Right for You?
Our advanced surgical techniques and streamlined process allow many patients to receive temporary teeth the same day their implants are placed—so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence while your implants heal. However, not everyone is an ideal candidate for this treatment.
Here are some key factors that affect eligibility:
Jawbone Health
Patients need enough jawbone volume and density to support dental implants. Using advanced imaging, our team evaluates bone quality and determines whether procedures like bone grafting may be needed if bone levels are insufficient.
Oral Health
Healthy gums and oral tissues are essential for successful implant placement. Conditions such as periodontal disease can lead to gum recession and bone loss, which may compromise implant stability if not treated first.
Overall Medical Health
Good general health supports proper healing. Certain medical conditions, including uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune disorders, can increase the risk of implant failure and must be carefully managed before treatment.
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)
Excessive grinding or clenching can place too much force on implants. Patients with bruxism may need a custom mouthguard or other treatments before and after the procedure to protect their implants.
Same-day implants provide immediate cosmetic and functional benefits compared to dentures or traditional bridges, offering a natural look and feel that can improve confidence and quality of life. While this treatment can be life-changing for qualified patients, a thorough evaluation is necessary to determine candidacy.
At Center for Advanced Dentistry in Loveland, CO, your eligibility for same-day implants will be determined during your initial consultation. Patients who receive same-day implants typically return for their final, permanent teeth once healing is complete—usually about three months after surgery.
The Same-Day Dental Implants Treatment Journey
Free Consultation & Oral Health Evaluation
Schedule your complimentary consultation where we’ll take a full CT scan of your mouth, review your medical history, and perform a comprehensive dental exam to assess your overall oral health. Based on these findings, our doctors will create and review a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.1.
Treatment Pricing & Payment Options
We’ll review the total cost of your treatment and go over flexible payment options to suit your budget. Our patient ambassador will provide clear, upfront pricing for your personalized treatment plan and outline a simple timeline for the next steps.2.
Smile Design Appointment
It’s time to design your smile! Your next step is a 60–90 minute Smile Design appointment where we’ll take professional photos, help you choose the ideal tooth color and shape, and evaluate your bite and smile to recommend enhancements. After this collaborative planning session, we’ll schedule your transformation day.3.
Procedure Day
Your procedure begins with anesthesia to ensure a safe, comfortable, and pain-free experience. We remove any damaged teeth and tissue, then place your implants with surgical precision. Advanced 3D scanning and photogrammetry are used to capture precise measurements for your custom prosthetic.
While you rest and recover, our on-site lab 3D prints your prosthesis. The same day—or the next—you’ll receive your full-arch implant prosthesis, so you can leave with a restored smile.

Recovery & Aftercare
Some discomfort and mild pain are common during the first week after surgery. We recommend eating soft foods, getting plenty of rest, and maintaining good oral hygiene to support proper healing.
You’ll return for follow-up visits at one week, one month, and three months so we can evaluate your healing and ensure everything is progressing as expected.
5.
Final Permanent Teeth
About three months after your procedure—once your implants have fully fused with the bone and healing is complete—we’ll take updated records and create a prototype try-in of your new teeth. This allows you to preview the fit and appearance before final production.
After you approve the prototype, we will finalize and fabricate your permanent teeth. They will be placed approximately one to two weeks later, completing your smile restoration.

Find the Right Treatment for You
Not sure which treatment is right for you? Explore dental implants for a single missing tooth, implant-supported bridges for replacing multiple teeth, or full-mouth implant solutions such as All-on-X systems that restore an entire arch with fewer implants. For patients with limited bone, advanced options like zygomatic and pterygoid implants may be available. Full mouth reconstruction can also combine implants with restorative treatments to achieve a complete smile transformation.
