Same-Day Dental Implants
Extraction and implant placement in one visit — fewer appointments, no long gap without a tooth.
Overview
Same-day (immediate) implant treatment places the titanium implant into the socket at the same appointment the failing tooth is removed. It reduces the number of surgeries and shortens the overall timeline, and in the right cases a temporary crown can be attached right away so there is no visible gap.
Not every tooth is suitable for immediate placement — it depends on bone volume, gum health and whether there is active infection. Denvida uses a 3D CBCT scan and AI-assisted planning to determine at your consultation whether same-day placement is safe and predictable for you.
Options & Types
Immediate placement
Implant placed the same day as extraction to save a surgery and healing round.
Immediate temporary crown
A non-chewing temporary tooth on the day of surgery in esthetic cases, so you never leave with a gap.
Staged approach (if needed)
If infection or bone loss is present, we graft and heal first for a more predictable result.
The Process
- 1
Free consult + 3D scan
We confirm whether same-day placement is safe for the tooth and give a written estimate.
- 2
Extraction + implant (same day)
The tooth is removed and the implant placed in one visit under local anesthesia.
- 3
Healing
The implant integrates over 3–6 months; a temporary keeps esthetics intact.
- 4
Final crown
A custom permanent crown completes the tooth.
Cost & Financing
| Procedure | Bay Area range | Denvida |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction + immediate implant | $4,500–$7,000 | from $3,500 |
| Immediate temporary crown | $500–$1,500 | case-by-case |
Same-day pricing is similar to a standard implant but combines the extraction. Candidacy depends on your 3D scan. Denvida gives a written estimate up front; financing available, in-network with Delta Dental & Cigna.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really get a dental implant the same day my tooth is pulled?
Often yes. When there is enough healthy bone and no active infection, the implant can be placed immediately after extraction in one visit. A 3D scan at your free consult confirms whether it is safe for your specific tooth.
Is same-day implant placement safe?
It is safe and predictable in properly selected cases. Denvida screens candidacy with a 3D CBCT scan and AI-assisted planning; if infection or bone loss makes immediate placement risky, we graft and heal first instead.

How many appointments does a same-day dental implant take at Denvida?
A same-day implant at Denvida typically involves three main visits: a free consultation and 3D CBCT scan, the same-day extraction and implant surgery, and a final crown appointment after 3–6 months of osseointegration. In esthetic cases a temporary crown is placed at the surgery visit so patients leave without a visible gap.
How much faster is a same-day implant than the traditional staged approach?
A same-day implant compresses the timeline roughly in half. Immediate placement: extraction and implant in one visit, then the final crown after 3–6 months of integration — about 3–6 months total across three visits. The staged approach: extraction with socket grafting, 3–4 months of healing, implant placement, another 3–6 months of integration, then the crown — typically 7–12 months across four to five visits. Which path is right depends on bone and infection status; the free 3D CBCT scan at Denvida (San Mateo, CA) determines candidacy before anything is scheduled.
Does Denvida offer same-day dental implants for Palo Alto and Peninsula patients?
Yes. Denvida (1675 Shoreview Ave, San Mateo, CA 94401) regularly treats same-day implant patients from Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Mountain View, Redwood City, Foster City, and Burlingame — about 18 minutes up Highway 101 from Palo Alto, with Caltrain running direct to San Mateo.
