Lost a tooth and don’t want to wait months for a replacement? Immediate dental implant placement makes it possible to get an implant on the very same day your tooth is removed. At Jaipur Eye & Dental Hospital, we regularly perform same-day implant procedures after a thorough clinical evaluation.
What Is an Immediate Dental Implant?
An immediate dental implant is placed directly into the fresh socket right after a tooth is extracted, all in one appointment. Instead of waiting 3-6 months for the bone to heal before placing the implant post, the surgeon positions the implant right away.
This approach works well when the surrounding bone is healthy and there’s no active infection. A 2025 study published in Clinical Oral Implants Research found that implants placed immediately after extraction had a 98.4% survival rate, nearly matching the 98.6% rate of delayed placements in healed sites ([Velasco-Ortega, 2025](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12733987/)).
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Same-Day Implant?
Not every patient qualifies. Your dentist will evaluate several factors before recommending immediate placement. The key requirements include adequate bone volume around the extraction site, healthy gums with no active periodontal disease, and a tooth that can be removed without excessive trauma to the surrounding bone.
At our clinic, every patient goes through a detailed consultation and clinical evaluation before any implant procedure. We use digital imaging to assess bone density and structure. If immediate placement isn’t suitable, we’ll plan the best timeline for your specific situation.
What Are the Benefits of Getting an Implant the Same Day?
The biggest advantage is time. A traditional implant process involves extraction, months of healing, then a second surgery for implant placement. Immediate implants combine these into a single visit.
Bone preservation is another significant benefit. When a tooth is removed, the jawbone in that area naturally starts to shrink. Placing an implant immediately helps stimulate the bone and maintain its volume. You also avoid the discomfort and social awkwardness of living with a visible gap in your teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a dental implant be placed on the same day as tooth extraction?
Yes. Immediate implant placement allows the implant to be inserted into the extraction socket the same day. Studies report a 98.4% survival rate for same-day implants, comparable to implants placed in fully healed bone. However, eligibility depends on bone quality, gum health, and the condition of the extracted tooth.
What are the benefits of immediate dental implant placement?
Same-day implants reduce overall treatment time by months, help preserve natural bone structure at the extraction site, and mean fewer surgical visits. Patients avoid the gap of living with a missing tooth while waiting for bone to heal.
