Same-Day Implants
Immediate extraction, implant placement, and provisional crown fixation in a single clinical visit.
Same-Day Immediate Dental Implants
Waiting 3 to 6 months without a tooth is no longer necessary. With Same-Day Implants (Immediate Load Implants) at Lime Tree Dental Hospital, you can have a hopeless tooth extracted, an implant fixture placed, and an aesthetic provisional tooth secured—all during a single appointment.
Supported by our on-site CAD/CAM laboratory and advanced primary stability implant designs, this procedure protects your natural gum architecture and prevents psychological distress associated with visible missing teeth.
Benefits of Same-Day Dental Implantation
- Zero Toothless Period: Leave our hospital on the same day with a functional, lifelike temporary tooth attached to your new implant.
- Preservation of Bone & Gum Contours: Immediate placement into fresh extraction sockets prevents post-extraction alveolar bone collapse and gum recession.
- Single Surgical Event: Extraction and implant surgery occur simultaneously under a single local anesthetic application, halving your total recovery timeline.
- Convenient for International Visitors: Greatly compresses the required visit count and clinical intervals in Seoul.
Who Qualifies for Same-Day Implants?
Not every tooth extraction qualifies for immediate loading. Candidacy is determined by:
- Adequate Healthy Bone Volume: Sufficient apical and palatal bone density to achieve high initial insertion torque (35+ Ncm).
- Absence of Acute Severe Infection: Chronic localized issues are acceptable once cleaned, but diffuse active infections require preliminary healing.
- Good General Health & Non-Smoking: Controlled medical conditions ensuring robust biological osseointegration.
Step-by-Step Same-Day Workflow
- Morning Comprehensive Diagnosis: 3D CBCT bone evaluation and digital intraoral optical capture.
- Atraumatic Tooth Extraction: Gentle micro-extraction preserving every millimeter of socket bone wall.
- Precision Fixture Placement: Insertion of self-tapping premium implants engineered for high initial torque.
- In-House Rapid Milling: Our lab crafts a custom screw-retained provisional crown out of high-grade biocompatible resin.
- Afternoon Seating: The provisional crown is securely attached out of heavy occlusal contact to safeguard bone integration.
