META: Can you really get a dental implant placed and a temporary crown on the same day? Yes. Immediate implants have a 94% success rate. Here’s how it works at Jaipur Eye & Dental Hospital.
Missing a tooth doesn’t mean waiting months for a replacement. At Jaipur Eye & Dental Hospital, we offer immediate dental implant procedures where the implant and a temporary crown are placed in a single appointment. It’s one of the most requested treatments at our dental clinic.
## How Does a Same-Day Implant Work?
The procedure removes your damaged tooth (if it’s still there), places a titanium implant directly into the jawbone, and attaches a temporary crown on top, all in one visit. The permanent crown is fitted after the implant fully integrates with the bone, typically in 3-6 months.
A 2023 study published in PubMed found that the overall success rate of immediately loaded single implants is 94.31%, with upper jaw implants showing particularly strong outcomes ([PubMed, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37794532/)).
## Who Is Eligible for Immediate Implants?
Not everyone qualifies for same-day implants. You need sufficient bone density in the jaw, healthy gums, and no active infection at the extraction site. If you’ve been missing a tooth for a while and the bone has thinned, a bone graft may be needed first.
We recommend a [dental consultation](https://jaipureyedental.com) with an X-ray or CBCT scan to confirm your eligibility before scheduling the procedure.
## Is a Same-Day Implant Safe?
Yes, for patients who meet the criteria. The 5-year success rate for immediate implants stands at 92%, compared to 95% for delayed placement ([Bioress Scientia, 2025](https://bioresscientia.com/article/the-impact-of-surgical-timing-on-the-success-of-dental-implant-placement-a-literature-review)). The small difference comes down to individual healing factors, not the procedure itself.
The biggest advantage is psychological and functional. You don’t walk around with a gap in your smile while waiting for bone healing.
## FAQs
How long does a same-day dental implant procedure take?
The surgery typically takes 30-60 minutes for a single implant. Including the temporary crown fitting, expect the full appointment to last around 1-2 hours.
Is a same-day implant more expensive than a regular one?
The implant cost is similar. What you’re paying for is the convenience and the temporary crown that bridges the gap while the implant heals. The permanent crown is a separate cost, same as with traditional implants.
Can every missing tooth be replaced with an immediate implant?
No. You need adequate bone density, healthy gums, and no infection. A CBCT scan at our clinic determines whether immediate or delayed implant placement is better for your case.
