Same-day implants in London

Immediate tooth replacement

For many people, the wait between surgery and having a tooth to wear is the biggest barrier to going ahead. Same-day placement shortens that gap. Within our dental implants in London service, Dr Ope Sodeinde assesses bone density and oral health to decide whether your implant can be loaded on the day without compromising stability.

Immediate tooth replacement in Primrose Hill

We offer immediate loading for patients who would otherwise face weeks without a temporary tooth. The deciding factor is initial stability: the implant must be held firmly enough by the bone at placement to carry a provisional restoration. Where several teeth are missing, implant-supported bridges may be the better option. You can read about how long implants last to understand the long-term value.

Who can receive immediate implants

Whether you have lost one tooth or several, Dr Ope Sodeinde examines the bone and gum to establish whether immediate loading is suitable. Patients who need implants with gum disease are assessed for infection first, because the site must be stable before it is loaded. If cost is the sticking point, what dental implants cost, itemised is set out in our pricing guide.

Your path to immediate restoration

Clinical implant assessment

The examination establishes whether your bone can hold an implant firmly enough for same-day loading. If bone has been lost, we discuss implants with receding gums and whether grafting is needed first.

Surgical implant placement

The titanium posts are placed in the jawbone under local anaesthetic. We choose from the implant systems we place according to your anatomy and the stability required.

Immediate provisional fitting

A temporary crown or bridge is fitted to the implants at the same visit, so you leave the practice with teeth in place while the implants integrate with the bone.

Full mouth restoration

Where more than one tooth is being replaced, a few implants can carry an implant-supported bridge or a full mouth restoration as a single fixed structure.

Final prosthetic fitting

Once the implants have fused with the jaw, the temporary teeth are replaced with the permanent restoration.

Care is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, specialist periodontist, who owns London Dental Specialists and is registered as a specialist in periodontics (GDC No. 104071).

Clinical standards for your restoration

Patients who review us tend to mention a calm, unhurried manner and options explained without pressure. Alongside Dr Ope Sodeinde, the team includes Dr Neha Patel, specialist in endodontics, Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist, and Dr Nicky Dehbonei and Dr Lydia Dzhukha, dentists with special interests. If same-day loading is not suitable for you, you can compare single and multiple tooth implants on the conventional timeline.

Addressing your implant concerns

How much do same-day implants cost?

The price depends on the number of implants and the restoration on top. We confirm it at the consultation, after assessing your bone, and quote it itemised.

How long do same-day implants last?

Longevity depends on the initial placement and on how well the implant is cared for afterwards. We offer a 10-year implant warranty for implants we place, subject to its written conditions.

Which same-day implants do you use?

We use Straumann and can provide any brand. The system is chosen for your anatomy and the strength the restoration needs, and we explain the choice at your assessment.

What is the difference between same-day implant options?

Mainly the scale. Some patients need a single tooth loaded on the day; others need All-on-4 full-arch implants to replace a whole row. We decide after examining your jawbone and remaining teeth.

Your immediate implant assessment

Eligibility comes down to bone density and oral health, which Dr Ope Sodeinde assesses at your first visit. Sedation is available if dental visits make you anxious. You can see what the £195 consultation includes and how to book it to start.

Further implant guidance

If you are still weighing up same-day treatment, related reading covers how long implants last, implants with gum disease, implants with receding gums, All-on-4 full-arch implants, single and multiple tooth implants, and implant-supported bridges. Dr Ope Sodeinde will confirm your eligibility and how we manage anxiety during the procedure at your assessment.

The consultation ends with a written plan and an itemised quote, yours to keep and use at any practice. It includes in-mouth x-rays, and you are under no obligation to proceed; a complimentary second appointment is included to discuss the plan.

The £195 consultation fee goes towards the cost of any treatment you choose to have with us; it is not an extra on top. Local anaesthetic is standard and sedation is available.
