Fixed Teeth in a Day: Are Immediate Implants the Best Choice?

Losing a tooth can significantly impact your quality of life. Many patients seek a quick solution without waiting months for a traditional implant. Thanks to modern dentistry, there is an innovative method: immediate implants. These allow for fixed teeth in just one day—but are they suitable for everyone?

In this article, we explain how immediate implants work, their benefits, and who is the best candidate for this treatment. At Zahnarzt am Markt in Wiesbaden, we use the latest implantology techniques to provide our patients with a fast and reliable tooth replacement solution.

1. What Are Immediate Implants?

With traditional dental implants, a healing period of several months is required before placing the final crown. Immediate implants, however, allow for both the implant and a temporary tooth to be placed in a single session.

How Does the Procedure Work?

The damaged tooth (if still present) is extracted.
The implant is immediately placed into the jawbone.
A temporary crown or bridge is attached on the same day.
Once the implant has healed, the final crown is fitted.

With advanced navigated implantology, the procedure is precisely planned, improving success rates.

2. Benefits of Immediate Implants

Quick solution: A new tooth in just one day.
Prevents bone loss: Immediate placement helps maintain jawbone structure.
Aesthetics & Function: No long periods with missing teeth.
Fewer surgical procedures: No second surgery required for implant exposure.

One of the key advantages of immediate implants is the minimal waiting time, allowing patients to quickly return to normal eating and speaking.

3. Who Is a Good Candidate for Immediate Implants?

Not every patient is eligible for immediate implants. The following criteria are essential:

Ideal Candidates:

Sufficient bone density for stable implant placement.
Healthy gums without active infections.
Non-smokers or patients without uncontrolled diabetes.

When Are Traditional Implants a Better Choice?

In cases of severe bone loss, a bone graft may be necessary.
For patients with advanced periodontitis or active infections.

A thorough consultation and a 3D X-ray scan are needed to determine whether immediate implants are the best option.

4. How Long Do Immediate Implants Last?

Longevity depends on oral hygiene and individual factors. Studies show that immediate implants last 10–30 years, similar to traditional implants.

Tips for Long-Lasting Implants:

Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings.
Avoid smoking, as it increases the risk of implant failure.
Maintain good oral hygiene with floss and interdental brushes.

5. Cost & Financing Options

The cost of immediate implants varies depending on the number of implants needed and individual circumstances.

Average Costs:

Single immediate implant: €2,500–€4,000
All-on-4 (full arch replacement): €8,000–€15,000

Public health insurance usually does not cover the full cost, but partial subsidies for prosthetics may be available. At our clinic, we also offer flexible payment plans.

6. Conclusion

Immediate implants provide a fast and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. They are ideal for patients who want immediate aesthetic and functional improvements.
