Same Day Dental Implants in Central Business District, Seattle, WA

Dental implants are the gold standard of tooth replacement. Unfortunately, the process often takes a minimum of several months and may take as much as a full year, depending on several factors. The good news is, at 5th and Olive Dental, you can get teeth in a day with same-day dental implants.

Same-day dental implants involves placing the implant on the same day as the extraction, promoting faster healing. This prevents food debris from getting into the extraction site and reduces the risk of gum recession and jawbone deterioration. There are three types of same-day dental implants:

• Immediate load implants: temporary tooth/teeth placed on the implant
• Mini dental implants: smaller than traditional implants, used when jawbone deterioration has occurred.
• All-on-4 dental implants: hybrid solution for replacing an entire arch of missing teeth with 4 dental implants.

In this article, we’ll explain more about this procedure to help you determine if it is right for you.

Traditional dental implants take a minimum of three months before the artificial teeth can be placed. Unfortunately, this means that the patient is without teeth during this time- but depending on your situation, it may be the best option.

Same-day implants, on the other hand, allow artificial teeth to be immediately placed on the implants. However, it is important to note that the teeth placed on the same day are temporary. You will need to have them replaced once healing is complete.

The procedure for placing dental implants is invasive- whether you get traditional implants or same-day implants. Therefore, you can expect some discomfort during the healing process. Every procedure has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages of same-day dental implants are:

• Immediate results
• Cheaper than traditional implants
• Less time at the dental clinic

The disadvantages of same-day dental implants include:

• Increased risk of infection
• Increased risk of implant failure

Every time you visit the dentist’s office, you must pay for your time there. You pay for the equipment use and the dentist’s time. Therefore, same-day dental implants will cost you less than traditional implants.

Traditional dental implants cost an average of $5,000 per implant.

• Immediate load implants start at around $4,000 each.
• Mini implants start at $500 each.
• All-on-4 typically costs a minimum of $12,000 per arch.

Some dental insurance plans consider dental implants to be a cosmetic procedure and therefore will not cover it. However, other providers will cover a portion of the treatment. Our office staff will contact your provider to determine your level of coverage. We also offer financing options for patients who qualify.
