If you have been putting off orthodontic treatment because you do not want a mouth full of metal, you are...
For most patients considering dental implants, the part that gives them pause is not the surgery itself. It is the waiting. Standard implant protocols involve a healing period of three to six months between placement and the fitting of the final crown, during which the patient either has a gap or a temporary removable solution. For many people, that timeline is the deciding factor that delays treatment indefinitely.
Same day dental implants change this. Using a protocol called immediate loading, a temporary crown or bridge is fixed onto the implant on the same day the implant is surgically placed. The patient arrives with a missing tooth and leaves the clinic with a functional, natural-looking replacement, all in a single appointment.
At Smile On Dental Clinic in Al Satwa, Dubai, same day dental implants are available for suitable candidates and are delivered by a specialist team. Dr. Amit Gupta, a DHA-licensed specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery, performs the implant placement. Dr. Rahul Patel, a DHA-licensed specialist prosthodontist, designs and fits the temporary and final restorations. The clinic is centrally located in Al Satwa, easily accessible from Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, and Sheikh Zayed Road, making it one of the most conveniently positioned same day dental implant clinics in Dubai for patients travelling from Jumeirah and surrounding areas.
Same day dental implants, also called immediate load implants or teeth in a day, are dental implants that have a temporary crown or bridge attached to them on the same day the implant post is surgically placed into the jaw bone.
In standard implant protocols, the implant is placed and then left undisturbed for three to six months to allow osseointegration, the process by which the titanium post fuses with the surrounding bone. Loading the implant with a crown during this period was historically avoided because bite forces transmitted through the crown were thought to interfere with integration.
Advances in implant surface technology and surgical technique have changed this. Modern implant surfaces are designed to achieve rapid bone contact, and when an implant achieves sufficient primary stability at the time of placement, meaning it is firmly anchored in the bone immediately after surgery, it can safely receive a temporary crown without compromising the integration process.
The key distinction is that the crown placed on the day of surgery is a temporary restoration that is deliberately designed not to bear full biting force. It is slightly out of contact with the opposing teeth so that the implant heals without occlusal loading. The final permanent crown, which is fully functional under normal bite forces, is fitted three to four months later once integration is confirmed.
Same day implants are not a shortcut or a compromise. When properly selected cases are treated by an experienced specialist team, the long-term success rates for immediate load implants are comparable to standard protocol implants.
Same day dental implants are not suitable for every patient. The most important factor determining candidacy is primary stability: the implant must achieve a firm, secure anchorage in the bone at the moment of placement for immediate loading to be safe and predictable.
The following patient profiles are generally well suited to same day implants:
Same day implants require additional careful assessment in the following situations:
The only reliable way to confirm candidacy for same day dental implants is through a CBCT scan and clinical assessment. Dr. Amit Gupta evaluates the bone volume, density, and surgical access at the consultation and gives a clear recommendation based on the actual clinical data rather than a general assumption.
The same day implant process at Smile On Dental Clinic is structured across a pre-operative assessment, a surgical day, and a follow-up phase leading to the permanent crown.
The process begins with a thorough assessment at the clinic in Al Satwa. A CBCT scan produces a three-dimensional map of the jaw bone showing exact bone dimensions, the position of nerves and sinuses, and the bone quality available for implant placement. Dr. Amit Gupta reviews this data and determines whether same day loading is appropriate. Dr. Rahul Patel assesses the restoration requirements including the space available for the crown and the relationship with the opposing teeth. A complete treatment plan and cost breakdown are presented before any commitment is made.
Where same day loading is confirmed as appropriate, Dr. Rahul Patel prepares or pre-fabricates the temporary crown or bridge before the surgical day. This means the restoration is ready to be attached to the implant immediately after placement without delay.
On the day of surgery, the implant is placed under local anaesthesia. Where 3D guided surgery is used, a surgical guide ensures the implant is placed at exactly the planned position, depth, and angle. The primary stability of the implant is measured intraoperatively using an instrument called an insertion torque device. If the stability reading meets the threshold required for immediate loading, the temporary crown is attached on the same day. If the reading falls below the threshold for safe immediate loading, the implant is left to integrate without a crown and a temporary removable option is provided instead. This decision is made in the patient's best clinical interest, not based on a preference.
Once primary stability is confirmed, the abutment is attached to the implant and the temporary crown is fixed in place. Dr. Rahul Patel checks the bite carefully and adjusts the temporary crown so it is slightly out of occlusal contact with the opposing teeth, meaning it does not bear direct biting force during the healing period. The patient leaves the clinic with a complete, natural-looking tooth in the gap.
Over the following three to four months, the implant integrates with the surrounding bone. Review appointments are scheduled at regular intervals. Patients are advised to eat soft foods for the first six to eight weeks to protect the integrating implant and avoid placing excessive force through the temporary crown. Normal diet resumes gradually as integration progresses.
Once integration is confirmed by clinical assessment and X-ray, the temporary crown is removed and Dr. Rahul Patel takes a final impression or digital scan. The permanent zirconia or porcelain crown is fabricated in the dental laboratory to precise specifications and fitted at the final appointment. The bite is checked and adjusted as needed. The permanent crown is fully functional under normal biting and chewing forces from this point onward.
Patients often ask whether same day implants are better than standard implants or whether choosing same day means accepting a compromise in quality or longevity. The answer is that neither protocol is universally better. The right choice depends on the clinical situation, and for patients who are good candidates, same day implants deliver equivalent long-term outcomes to standard protocol implants.
Here is how the two approaches compare across the factors that matter most to patients:
Treatment timeline: Same day implants allow the patient to leave with a tooth on the day of surgery. Standard implants involve a gap or removable temporary for three to six months before the crown is fitted. For patients in professional or social environments where a missing tooth is not acceptable, same day loading removes this issue entirely.
Suitability: Standard implants can be placed in a wider range of patients, including those with moderate bone loss, those requiring bone grafting, and those with medical factors that make immediate loading higher risk. Same day implants require specific bone conditions and primary stability criteria to be met at surgery. Not every patient qualifies.
Number of appointments: Both protocols require a similar total number of appointments across the full treatment. The difference is that same day implants eliminate the period of wearing a gap or removable denture between surgery and the first tooth fitting.
Long-term success: When performed in correctly selected cases by experienced specialists, immediate load implants have comparable long-term success rates to standard protocol implants. The key word is correctly selected. Cases where same day loading is attempted in unsuitable bone or without adequate stability measurement carry a higher failure risk.
Cost: Same day implants typically carry a higher overall fee than standard implants because they require more pre-operative planning, pre-fabrication of the temporary restoration, and greater intraoperative precision. The additional cost reflects the clinical work involved rather than a premium for speed.
Specialist Surgical and Restorative Team Same day dental implants require a higher level of pre-operative planning and intraoperative precision than standard implant protocols. At Smile On Dental Clinic, the surgery is performed by Dr. Amit Gupta, a DHA-licensed specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery, and the restoration is designed and fitted by Dr. Rahul Patel, a DHA-licensed specialist prosthodontist. Having both specialists in the same clinic means the surgical and restorative components of the same day process are coordinated without any communication gap between treating clinicians.
3D CBCT Planning and Guided Surgery Every same day implant case at Smile On Dental Clinic is planned using a CBCT scan that produces a three-dimensional view of the bone before any surgery is scheduled. Where appropriate, a digital surgical guide is used to place the implant at the exact planned position. This precision is particularly important for same day cases where the implant position directly affects both the stability required for immediate loading and the position of the temporary crown on the same day.
Honest Candidacy Assessment Not every patient who wants a same day implant is a suitable candidate, and at Smile On Dental Clinic this is assessed honestly. If the intraoperative stability measurement at the time of surgery does not meet the threshold for safe immediate loading, the temporary crown is not attached. The implant is left to integrate safely and a removable temporary option is provided. Patients are informed of this possibility before the surgical day so there are no surprises.

Yes, for suitable candidates. Same day dental implants use an immediate loading protocol where a temporary crown is attached to the implant on the same day the implant is surgically placed. The patient arrives with a missing tooth and leaves with a natural-looking temporary replacement. The temporary crown is designed to be out of full biting contact during the healing period to protect the integrating implant. The final permanent crown is fitted three to four months later once integration is confirmed. At Smile On Dental Clinic in Al Satwa, same day implants are available for patients who meet the candidacy criteria assessed through a CBCT scan and clinical examination.
Suitability for same day dental implants depends primarily on bone volume and density in the area of the missing tooth, gum health, general health, and whether the implant achieves sufficient primary stability at surgery. Patients with good bone, healthy gums, and no conditions that impair bone healing are typically good candidates. Patients with significant bone loss, active gum disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or a heavy grinding habit require careful assessment before same day loading is recommended. The only way to confirm candidacy is through a CBCT scan and consultation with Dr. Amit Gupta at Smile On Dental Clinic.
When placed in correctly selected cases by an experienced specialist team, same day dental implants have long-term success rates comparable to standard protocol implants. The titanium implant post, once integrated, can last a lifetime with proper care. The permanent crown fitted after integration typically lasts ten to fifteen years or more depending on the material used and the patient’s oral hygiene. Regular professional monitoring at Smile On Dental Clinic and good home care are the most important factors in protecting the long-term stability of any implant.
The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia and should not be painful during the procedure. Most patients report that the experience is similar to a tooth extraction in terms of the sensation during surgery. After the anaesthetic wears off, some soreness and mild swelling around the implant site is normal for two to five days and is managed with prescribed pain relief. Because same day implant surgery is often performed using a minimally invasive flapless technique where 3D guided surgery is used, many patients experience less post-operative swelling and discomfort than they expect.
For the first six to eight weeks after same day implant surgery, a soft food diet is recommended to avoid placing excessive force through the temporary crown and the integrating implant. This means avoiding hard, crunchy, or chewy foods on the side of the implant. Normal diet can be gradually reintroduced as healing progresses and the integration is confirmed by the treating team. Once the final permanent crown is fitted and the implant is fully integrated, there are no dietary restrictions and the tooth functions exactly as a natural tooth would.
Same day dental implants in Dubai cost more than standard protocol implants because they involve additional pre-operative planning, pre-fabrication of the temporary crown, intraoperative stability measurement, and specialist team coordination. As a general market reference, a complete same day single tooth implant including surgery, temporary crown, and final permanent crown ranges from AED 6,000 to AED 10,000 or more depending on the case complexity and materials used. The exact cost for your specific case is provided after the CBCT assessment at Smile On Dental Clinic, covering all components with no additional fees added later.
Yes. Smile On Dental Clinic is located in Al Satwa, which is directly accessible from Jumeirah and surrounding areas including Sheikh Zayed Road, Downtown Dubai, and DIFC. The clinic offers same day dental implant treatment performed by a specialist oral surgeon and a specialist prosthodontist working together, and is one of the closest specialist implant clinics to the Jumeirah area. Contact the clinic to book an initial consultation and CBCT assessment to confirm whether you are a suitable candidate for same day implants.
If the implant does not achieve the primary stability required for safe immediate loading at the time of surgery, the temporary crown is not attached on the day. Instead, the implant is left to integrate without a crown following standard protocol, and a temporary removable option is provided to cover the gap during healing. This decision is made based on the intraoperative stability measurement and is always in the patient’s best clinical interest. Patients are informed of this possibility before the surgical day at Smile On Dental Clinic so they can plan accordingly and are not caught off guard.
