Same-Day Dental Implants in Upland, CA

If you need a fast and reliable solution to replace a missing tooth, same-day dental implants can restore your smile in a single visit. Instead of waiting weeks or months between implant placement and receiving a new tooth, eligible patients can walk out of the office with a functional and natural-looking crown attached to a secure implant. At Higher-Ground Family Dentistry, we offer same-day dental implants for patients throughout Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Fontana, and Claremont.

What Are Same-Day Dental Implants?

Same-day dental implants allow the implant post and a new crown (or temporary crown) to be placed during the same appointment. This means treatment and restoration happen immediately, saving time and avoiding long waiting periods without a tooth.

Not every case is suited for same-day treatment, but technology and advanced planning have made it possible for many patients to receive instant results.

Who Qualifies for Same-Day Dental Implants?

Most common eligibility requirements

  • Healthy gums and good oral hygiene

  • Sufficient jawbone support

  • No severe infection in the tooth or surrounding tissues

  • Non-smokers or patients willing to stop smoking during healing

Even if you were told in the past that you weren’t an implant candidate, updated treatment techniques may now make same-day implants possible.

Benefits of Same-Day Dental Implants

Instant tooth replacement

No need to wear a temporary removable prosthetic or stay without a tooth.

Immediate confidence

You can smile, speak, and socialize without interruption.

Less downtime

Fewer appointments mean faster results and greater convenience.

Protects soft tissues

Placing a crown immediately can help shape natural gum contours and improve final aesthetics.

Understanding Temporary vs Permanent Crowns in Same-Day Implants

Most same-day implants use a temporary crown for aesthetics and function while the implant fully integrates with the jawbone. After healing, a permanent crown is placed for long-term strength and appearance.

What If I’m Not a Candidate for Same-Day Implants?

Patients who don’t qualify for immediate placement can still receive traditional implants with an excellent success rate. Alternatives may include:

  • Traditional staged implant placement

  • Bone grafting for better implant support

  • Implant-supported bridge or denture

How Long Do Same-Day Dental Implants Last?

Long-term success depends on oral hygiene and bone support. With proper brushing, flossing, and dental checkups, same-day implants last just as long as traditional implants — often decades or more.
