Smile in a day dental implants
in London

We know that something as visible as a dead or missing tooth in your smile can cause a loss in self-confidence and make everyday tasks like eating feel uncomfortable. Traditional dental implants are a great option for patients in such a situation as we can restore their smile with implants that have the same look, durability and strength as natural teeth. Typically, an implant is fitted when a small titanium screw is inserted into the socket of the jawbone in order to act as a new root. Restorative teeth are then screwed into place to take the same role and position as the old tooth that was previously there.

What are immediate implants?

Usually failing teeth are extracted and then the patient must wait three months until they can undergo implant placement. After implant placement, a period of a minimum of three months weeks is typically required again to allow the implant to properly fuse to the jawbone and to heal before the new teeth can be fitted on the jaw. Thanks to our ultramodern equipment and groundbreaking science, immediate implants and temporalization treatment with a tooth can all be done in one day.

Immediate implants differ from traditional implants because they don’t require this 6-week period for recovery and healing. Immediate implants can be immediately placed into the socket on the same day as the extraction. It is for this reason that immediate implants are sometimes called ‘same-day implants‘ and are designed to permanently restore and replace teeth.

The benefits of this surgical procedure are that the dental implants have the placement into the jaw bone on the same day as the extraction and the placement of the new temporary restoration can also take place on the same day. Same-day implants are preferable for patients who don’t want to have to wait, wish to have the convenience of a faster surgical procedure and want a treatment that delivers natural-looking teeth. Additionally, all evidence point to the delivery of superior aesthetic results due to the clinical team being able to maintain the bone and gums in better condition during the procedure.

Who is suitable for immediate implants?

Immediate implants are usually placed on patients that have suffered some level of dental trauma or damage to their teeth or have perhaps lost healthy teeth through disease, decay or simple wear and tear. Most people are suitable for immediate implants though there are a few exceptions.

Patients who smoke or drink heavily are likely to be advised not to proceed with immediate implants, or potentially any dental implants of any kind. Immediate implant placement is a surgical procedure that requires the affected treatment area to be healthy and in good hygiene. Excessive smoking or drinking might mean that the area is currently not safe for treatment. Furthermore, continued smoking or heavy drinking following immediate implant placement may harm the recovery process. If the area does not heal properly, then the implants may fail.

Other patients with dental health conditions or poor oral hygiene might not be suitable for immediate implants for the same reasons. The best way to check if you’re suitable for immediate implants is to attend a consultation with our dentists. They will be able to assess your oral health history, and hygiene and identify if there are any potential reasons why you’re not suitable. It may also be that they recommend alternate dental treatments that can achieve the same results via less invasive methods e.g. dentures.

Expertise shown by Dr S Chawla was excellent, calmed any nerves I had and let me know everything that was going to happen before doing anything. Gave a detailed plan and was able to answer any question I had for him. Unfortunately 2 Bitewing X-rays did not load so was exposed to unnecessary radiation. Hope they correct this Fault for future patients.

Excellence. I can't say this enough. Just Excellence, from the moment I walked in to when I left. I was very nervous after bad experiences over many, many years with other dental practices, resulting in me not going to a dentist. The receptionists were very kind and understanding, making me feel at ease. Prof. Dr Christian Mehl was extremely patient, respectful, attentive, and assuring, and he explained everything to me. My treatment was smooth and flawless, with absolutely no pain. He is, without a doubt, a true professional. I have my faith restored, but most of all, I have finally, finally found a dental clinic and a dentist I can trust. I can't thank everyone enough. I don’t normally write or trust reviews. If you are reading this, then I assure you, you can trust this one.

6 star service and care! What a fabulous experience- worth every £. Exceptional dentistry from surgeon Dr A El-Awa , top tech used to ensure my 2nd molar was extracted in the most efficient, comfortable ( pain free) and caring, personal manner. Unbelievably well treated by all staff, front desk to Dr’s assistants Alice and Anna. Simply beyond expectations. Thank you ! Don’t hesitate to book this top class, clean and professional clinic. Off the charts, excellent. Actually looking forward to the follow up treatment programme for the rest of my mouth!! And I came up from Brighton to Central London for this. Well done. Best £££’s worth in a very long time!

My local dentist referred me to WSDC for a lower wisdom tooth extraction. I'd had the other one done elsewhere 5 years prior and it wasn't the best experience so I was quite nervous... Dr El-Awa was incredibly calming and took his time to explain the process at the beginning, and throughout. This extraction was substantially more complicated than my previous one given the tooth angle / position but while I wouldn't say it was fun, it was a much calmer process and the 'moment of dread' never transpired; slow and steady with plenty of communication. The rest of the staff and the premises were all excellent. For a relatively unpleasant thing to go through, the team couldn't have done more and I'd thoroughly recommend.

Wonderful dental clinic, would highly-recommend. Sofia at the front desk went above and beyond to assist me with an emergency wisdom tooth extraction, including bringing the appointment forward to fit around flights. Professor Mehl is incredibly kind and gentle and made the procedure painless for me. He explained what he was doing throughout the procedure and provided attentive after-care.

What happens during immediate implant surgery?

  • All of our dental procedures start with a consultation with a dentist. Your dentist will ask you a few questions about your health, oral history and hygiene routine. They will then inspect your mouth and look for any potential issues that restrict your eligibility for immediate implant surgery. If you are suitable, your dentist will then talk you through the advantages and disadvantages of the treatment and what you can expect to happen.
  • If you’re happy to proceed, you will be given an appointment to complete the diagnostic records (3D X-ray, digital photographs and impressions, taking off the colour of your teeth)
  • You’ll book another appointment for the immediate implant placement at our London dentist clinic.
  • On the day of surgery, you can opt to receive sedation to help make the procedure more relaxed. Our in-house sedationist will explain what you can expect and will then sedate you.
  • Before the implant can be fitted, you might require a tooth extraction to remove any dead or partial tooth material that is still in place. The socket will be cleaned and drilled to make way for the installation of the dental implant on the same day.
  • The dental implants are then implanted carefully and computer guided by your dentist and then the restorative teeth are screwed into place. Your new implant-supported restoration will be chosen to match the colour of your surrounding teeth to give your smile a natural finish.
  • When the surgery is complete and your implants are in place, your dentist will inform you of post-surgery aftercare advice that you should follow in order to give your implants the best chance of success. You might feel a little discomfort and swelling in the first few days but this should subside.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cost of an immediate implant?

Immediate implant placement differs patient-to-patient. Your dentist always has to consider factors such as oral health, history and patient lifestyle when deciding whether you’re suitable for immediate dental implants. As such, every treatment is slightly different and the cost can reflect these differing circumstances. The best way to get an idea of costs is to arrange a consultation with our implant clinic.

Not only with our team explain the procedure and benefits, but they are also happy to discuss a wide variety of finance options available to you should you wish to split the cost into affordable payments.

How long do immediate implants last?

Dental implants can last for up to 25 years provided they are treated in the same way you’d treat your natural teeth. Ensuring that you regularly attend dental check-ups and hygienist appointments will help avoid damage from decay and other potential oral concerns. Regularly brushing properly and flossing in between teeth can help reduce future complications. Avoiding bad habits such as biting fingernails, using your teeth (or implant) to bite or chew on particularly strong materials and smoking in general, can all help increase the longevity of your implants.

Can I have immediate implants fitted on the same day?

Yes. The point of immediate implants is that they are fitted on the same day as your tooth extraction and are fitted to avoid any further appointments or downtime. Unlike traditional implants, which require a six-week gap between appointments, immediate implants can be completed in one day.

What is the advantage of same-day implants?

Same-day dental implants are particularly beneficial for patients who might be nervous about multiple treatments. The knowledge that the procedure will be complete with no further appointments can reassure a patient immensely. Furthermore, immediate implant placement may be preferable for patients that require a faster solution e.g. they have a deadline or special occasion they want their smile to look perfect for but don’t have enough time for traditional implants.
