The compressed sequence saves a healing round, but it means the socket, the fixture and the temporary all have to cooperate on the day — the plan can change mid-appointment. This page covers the same day dental implants appointment itself — what is prepared beforehand, what happens in the chair, and what the first hours afterwards feel like. Plan for 1 visit and 4-6 days.
Chair time runs roughly 20-30 minutes per fixture once the flap is open, so a single implant is a short appointment while a full arch typically occupies two to three hours including the temporary. Implant placement is done under local anaesthetic infiltrated around the ridge; you stay awake, feel pressure and drilling vibration but no pain. IV sedation is offered for longer arch cases and for patients with a strong gag reflex.

Your scan or photographs are reviewed in person against the remote plan. The compressed sequence saves a healing round, but it means the socket, the fixture and the temporary all have to cooperate on the day — the plan can change mid-appointment.
The gum is reflected and the osteotomy is drilled in graduated steps under saline irrigation to keep the bone below 47°C — overheating is the classic cause of early failure.
Each implant is driven to a recorded insertion torque. That number decides whether a temporary can be loaded immediately or whether the site is left to integrate submerged.
Sutures go in, and a healing abutment or an immediate temporary is fitted depending on the torque reading and where the implant sits in the smile line.
Extraction, implant placement and a temporary tooth completed in a single appointment.
You leave with written aftercare and the follow-up schedule fixed — for this option that means 4-6 days, with 1 visit in total.

An oral surgeon or an implantologist places the fixtures; the prosthetic stage — abutment, scan, crown or arch — is usually handled by a prosthodontist working with the same in-house laboratory.
Expect gauze pressure for 30-45 minutes, a numb lip for two to four hours and a small amount of oozing on the first evening. You walk out unaided, but you should not fly the same day if a graft or sinus lift was involved.
Cost and alternatives for Same Day Dental Implants.
Compare vs alternatives → See full cost breakdown →The clinic grafts and stages the implant instead. A quote should state what happens and what it costs if that call is made.
Yes, always. The final restoration comes after integration.
Ask for the figure in Ncm. Above roughly 35 Ncm supports an immediate temporary; below that, the fixture is normally left to integrate before anything is loaded on it.
Get the brand and reference in writing. A globally distributed system can be serviced by any dentist at home; an unbranded fixture often cannot.
Only the CBCT answers this. If a graft is likely, ask whether it is quoted separately and how many extra months it adds before the final restoration.
1 visit — and 4-6 days. Any quote that compresses that materially is worth a second read, because laboratory and healing time set the schedule, not the clinic diary.
Immediate load covers the loading side of the same idea; conventional placement after socket healing is the fallback whenever the site is compromised.
Combining both in one appointment avoids a second healing cycle.
Single-visit protocols exist for exactly this constraint.
One surgical appointment is the main appeal here.

| Sessions | 1 visit |
|---|---|
| Time in Turkey | 4-6 days |
| Recovery | Soft diet 8 weeks; swelling for the first 3-4 days |
| Expected lifespan | As conventional implants, provided the loading protocol was respected |
