Same day dental implants — sometimes referred to as immediate-loading implants — allow a titanium implant post to be placed and a functional tooth or set of teeth to be fitted in a single appointment. Unlike traditional implant protocols that require multiple visits over several months before the final restoration is attached, same day dental implant treatment compresses the process without sacrificing the standard of the outcome.
This approach is suitable for carefully selected patients who meet the clinical criteria for immediate loading. Our team conducts a thorough digital assessment before any treatment is planned, using advanced imaging to evaluate bone quality, density, and volume at each implant site. Where same day treatment is appropriate, we design a personalised plan that accounts for every detail — from the number and position of implants to the precise aesthetic outcome we are working towards.
Whether you are missing a single tooth or seeking a full-mouth restoration, ODL Dental Clinic offers a comprehensive range of same day implant solutions, delivered in a calm, comfortable environment by a team that puts your experience and long-term oral health at the centre of everything we do.
For patients with a single missing tooth, a precisely placed dental implant and custom-designed crown can restore both function and appearance in one visit. Our same day approach means you leave with a natural-looking replacement tooth — without a temporary gap or a lengthy waiting period between appointments.
When several teeth are missing across one or both arches, our team plans multiple implant placements with the same precision and care as a single-tooth procedure. Each implant site is individually assessed to ensure optimal positioning, stability, and an aesthetic outcome that feels cohesive and natural.
Full mouth implant treatment replaces an entire arch — or both arches — of missing or failing teeth with a fixed, implant-supported restoration. Using as few as four to six implants per arch, our clinicians can deliver a complete, permanent smile in a single coordinated procedure, dramatically reducing treatment time and recovery.
Implant retained dentures offer a more stable and comfortable alternative to conventional removable dentures by anchoring them to a series of dental implants. This eliminates movement, improves bite strength, and gives patients the confidence to eat, speak, and smile without anxiety about their dentures shifting.
For patients seeking a more comprehensive cosmetic transformation alongside implant treatment, our same day smile makeover service combines implant placement with complementary restorative or cosmetic procedures — delivering a fully enhanced smile in a single, carefully planned visit.
Where a patient requires bone grafting or other preparatory treatment before implants can be placed, our specialist team manages this as a seamlessly integrated part of the overall implant plan. We ensure every site is properly prepared for long-term implant success before any restoration is finalised.
For patients who are suitable candidates, same day dental implants offer a compelling combination of speed, quality, and confidence. Here is what makes this treatment such a significant step forward:
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and a detailed digital assessment of your teeth, gums, and jawbone. Using advanced 3D imaging, our clinicians evaluate bone quality, density, and the optimal position for each implant. This assessment determines whether same day treatment is clinically appropriate for your case — and if so, forms the foundation of your personalised plan.
Based on your assessment, we design a precise, tailored implant plan that maps the exact placement of each implant post and the final appearance of your restoration. We take into account your bite, your aesthetic goals, and the long-term function of your smile. You will have the opportunity to review and discuss your plan fully before any treatment proceeds.
On the day of your procedure, the implant posts are placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic, guided by the detailed digital plan created at your assessment. Immediately following placement, a temporary but fully functional set of teeth is fitted to the implants — allowing you to leave our clinic the same day with a restored smile and the ability to eat and speak comfortably.
Over the weeks and months that follow, the implants undergo osseointegration — the biological process by which the titanium posts fuse with the surrounding bone. During this phase, your temporary restoration protects the implants and maintains the appearance and function of your smile. Our team monitors your progress closely and will advise you on care throughout.
Once osseointegration is confirmed, your temporary restoration is replaced with the final, permanent version — crafted to the highest standard and precisely matched to the colour, shape, and contour of your natural teeth. This is the last step in your implant journey and the point at which your full, lasting smile transformation is complete.
Choosing where to have implant treatment is one of the most significant decisions you can make for your long-term oral health. Here is why patients across London choose ODL Dental Clinic for their same day dental implant journey:
Same day dental implant treatment is suitable for a range of patients and clinical situations, provided the necessary criteria for immediate loading are met. Here is how different patient groups typically approach this treatment:
For patients with one missing tooth, a same day dental implant can replace the gap with a permanent, natural-looking crown in a single appointment. This avoids the aesthetic and functional disruption of living with a missing tooth, and means there is no period of wearing a removable temporary replacement. The result is immediate, stable, and designed to last.
Patients missing several teeth across one or both arches can often benefit from a same day approach in which multiple implants are placed and an implant-supported bridge is fitted on the same day. This eliminates the extended treatment timelines associated with conventional multi-tooth implant protocols and delivers a fully functional smile in significantly less time.
For patients who currently wear removable dentures — particularly those experiencing looseness, discomfort, or difficulty eating — same day implant-retained restorations offer a transformative upgrade. Fixed implant restorations do not move, do not require adhesive, and restore bite strength far beyond what a conventional denture can provide. Many denture wearers describe the experience of switching to implants as life-changing.
When teeth are severely decayed, damaged beyond restoration, or have become mobile due to gum disease, extraction and immediate implant placement can allow the entire process — removal and replacement — to be managed in a coordinated, single-day procedure. This minimises the period during which a patient is without teeth and ensures the restoration plan is already in place when treatment begins.
Many of our London patients choose same day implants specifically because the condensed treatment timeline fits more easily around professional and personal commitments. Fewer appointments mean less time away from work, fewer disruptions, and a faster return to full normal function. For patients with demanding schedules, the ability to achieve a permanent, high-quality result in fewer visits is a significant and practical advantage.
