Immediate dental implants
“Immediate” can refer to placing an implant when a tooth is removed, attaching a temporary tooth soon after placement, or both. Those are separate clinical decisions. Neither means that every patient can receive a permanent final tooth that day.
Define what “immediate” means
Ask whether the proposal is immediate placement, immediate provisionalization or immediate loading. The implant, temporary restoration and final restoration have different purposes and timing. Marketing terms should not replace a written sequence.
Candidacy depends on the site and the person
The team evaluates infection, remaining bone and gum tissue, anatomy, implant stability, bite, health, tobacco use, hygiene and the final tooth position. If those conditions do not support an immediate approach, staged healing may be safer.
A same-day tooth is often temporary
A temporary tooth may protect appearance or function while tissues heal, but it can have diet and contact restrictions. The final crown, bridge or denture is made after the team confirms healing and captures restorative records.
Staged treatment remains a valid option
A plan may allow the socket or graft to heal before implant placement, or allow the implant to integrate before a tooth is attached. More visits do not automatically mean a worse result; the sequence should follow the clinical findings.
Confirm provider, location and contingency plan
This page does not claim immediate treatment is offered at either office. Confirm who performs each stage, where it occurs, what temporary tooth is planned, what could change the sequence and what happens if adequate stability is not achieved.

Your questions, answered
Does immediate placement mean permanent teeth today?
No. Placement, loading, temporary teeth and final restoration are separate decisions.
Is immediate treatment better?
Not for everyone. It may reduce stages in selected sites, while other situations benefit from staged healing.
What if the site is not suitable?
The plan may change to grafting, delayed placement or another replacement option. Ask about that contingency before treatment.
