Same Day Dental Implants:
Permanent Teeth in 48 Hours

"Is it safe to load implants with permanent teeth so quickly?"

This is a valid clinical question. Traditional protocols wait 3-6 months before loading implants because the bone needs time to fuse with the titanium post (osseointegration).

Immediate loading is clinically proven when done correctly. Our protocols use specific implant placement techniques, torque measurements, and bridge design that distribute forces evenly during healing. Our 99% success rate across 2,500+ cases confirms the safety of this approach.

"What if I don't have enough bone for immediate implants?"

Bone loss from missing teeth, gum disease, or long-term denture use can reduce available bone. Some patients worry this rules out same day treatment.

Most patients still qualify. All-on-4 techniques use angled implants to maximise contact with existing bone. In some cases, minor bone grafting can be done at the same time as implant placement. Your 3D scan will give us a clear answer.

"I'm nervous about having everything done so fast"

The idea of implants and permanent teeth in 48 hours can feel rushed. Some patients prefer the idea of a more gradual process.

Speed doesn't mean shortcuts. The implant placement itself follows the same careful protocols as traditional treatment. The difference is simply that we make your teeth faster because we own the lab. If you'd prefer a more gradual timeline, we offer that too. Sedation options are available for patients who feel anxious about the procedure.

"How does the cost compare to traditional implants?"

You might expect same day permanent teeth to cost more than the traditional route. After all, it seems like a premium service.

It actually costs less. Because we skip the temporary teeth phase and do everything in-house, there's no cost for temporary prosthetics, no second fitting appointment, and no lab outsourcing fees. Full arch from £6,995 with 0% APR finance from £28/month. See our funding options.

What does 'same day dental implants' actually mean?

At most clinics, 'same day' means you get temporary teeth on the day of surgery, then wait 3-6 months for permanent ones. At Dental by Design, our Vivo Bridge system delivers your final, permanent teeth within 48 hours. No temporaries. No second surgery to swap them out.

How can you fit permanent teeth in 48 hours when other clinics take months?

We own the UK's largest in-house dental laboratory, Vivo Dental Lab. While other clinics send impressions to external labs and wait weeks, our technicians work alongside your surgeon in real time. Your permanent bridge is designed, milled, and fitted within 48 hours of implant placement.

Are same day implants as strong as traditional implants?

Yes. The implants themselves are identical. The difference is in how quickly we can attach permanent teeth. Our 99% success rate across 2,500+ Vivo Bridge cases confirms that immediate loading with permanent teeth is both safe and effective when done with proper protocols.

Am I a candidate for same day dental implants?

Most patients are candidates. The key factors are adequate bone density and good general health. Even patients with moderate bone loss often qualify thanks to techniques like All-on-4, which uses angled implants to maximise available bone. A free 3D scan at your consultation will confirm your eligibility.

What's the cost of same day dental implants?

Full arch same day implants with Vivo Bridge start from £6,995. This includes the implants, surgery, and your permanent bridge. No hidden costs for temporary teeth or a second fitting appointment. We offer 0% APR finance from £28/month. See our full cost guide for details.

What can I eat after same day implant surgery?

With Vivo Bridge permanent teeth, you can eat soft foods on the same day. Within 2-3 weeks, most patients return to a normal diet. Because you receive permanent teeth (not temporaries), there's no dietary restriction phase while waiting for a final restoration. Within 6-8 weeks, you can eat anything.
