What Is a Same-Day Implant?
At our clinic in Maltepe, we routinely perform this technique. Our patients can arrive in the morning without a tooth and go home in the evening with a temporary tooth.
Expert Opinion: In our experience spanning over 10 years, our success rate for same-day implants in suitable cases exceeds 97%. However, it should be noted that this procedure is not appropriate for every case.
How Is a Same-Day Implant Performed?
Step-by-Step Treatment Process
-
Detailed Examination and Planning
- Jaw analysis with 3D tomography
- Evaluation of the tooth and surrounding tissues
- Infection control
-
Tooth Extraction
- Painless extraction under local anesthesia
- Preservation of the extraction socket
- Evaluation of bone quality
-
Implant Placement
- Precise placement of the implant into the extraction socket
- Primary stability check
- Bone graft application if necessary
-
Temporary Tooth Placement
- Same-day temporary tooth in aesthetic zones
- Preservation of chewing function
Note: With the sutureless implant technique, we can make the healing process more comfortable.
Advantages of Same-Day Implants
Benefits for the Patient
- Single surgical procedure for both extraction and implant
- No aesthetic loss - especially critical for front teeth
- Psychological comfort - no trauma from being toothless
- Time savings - total treatment time shortened by 3-4 months
- Bone resorption prevention - the extraction socket is immediately filled
Clinical Advantages
- Less swelling and pain - due to a single intervention
- Faster healing - better bone-implant integration
- Cost-effectiveness - one session instead of two separate procedures
Who Can Get a Same-Day Implant?
Suitable Candidates
- Patients with adequate jawbone quality

- Non-smokers or those willing to quit
- Patients with well-controlled diabetes
Considerations
- Those with bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Patients with low bone quality

Assessment: We can definitively determine your suitability with a 3D dental tomography.
