If a tooth cannot be saved, you may not necessarily need to remove it and then wait months before beginning the replacement process.
At Pristine Dental Group, suitable patients can be assessed for immediate dental implant placement at the same appointment as the extraction.
Where the clinical conditions allow, a temporary tooth may also be possible on the same day, helping to reduce the time spent with a visible gap. This can be particularly valuable when a front tooth is broken, infected or can no longer be predictably restored.
Open 9:00 am – 5:30 pm, 7 days a week
Same-day appointments where available
An immediate dental implant is an implant placed into the extraction site during the same appointment that the failing tooth is removed. For suitable patients, the treatment journey may therefore be:
This differs from delayed implant treatment, where the tooth is removed first, and the area is allowed to heal before the dental implant is placed at a later appointment.
Being suitable for immediate implant placement does not automatically mean that the implant should receive a temporary tooth immediately. Your dentist will assess both decisions individually.
Immediate implant treatment requires careful assessment. Your dentist will consider factors including:
Not every patient or extraction site is suitable. Where immediate placement would not provide the most predictable outcome, we may recommend allowing the area to heal before placing the implant. The aim is to achieve the best long-term result, not simply the fastest treatment.
Immediate implant treatment can be particularly valuable when a front tooth cannot be saved. A front tooth may require extraction because of:
Where suitable, the tooth can be carefully removed and an implant placed immediately. If sufficient stability is achieved, a temporary tooth may also be possible, helping to maintain the appearance of your smile while healing takes place.

Yes. In suitable cases, an implant can be placed during the same appointment that the tooth is removed.
Potentially. If the implant achieves sufficient stability and the clinical situation allows, a temporary tooth may also be possible.
Usually not. The same-day tooth is generally a temporary restoration while the implant heals.
Sometimes. Suitability depends on the type and extent of infection, condition of the site, available bone and ability to achieve adequate implant stability.
Bone grafting may sometimes be carried out alongside implant treatment, while other cases may require a staged approach.
Yes, wherever possible. Planning before extraction allows us to assess whether immediate placement is appropriate and manage the extraction with the future replacement in mind.
