Same-Day Tooth Extraction and Implant Placement — In One Appointment
A traditional implant journey often requires months of waiting between tooth removal and implant surgery. With an immediate dental implant, the titanium post is placed directly into the extraction socket on the very same day the tooth is removed.
This technique — recognised by the Mayo Clinic as a clinically proven approach for suitable patients — dramatically reduces total treatment time while preserving the natural contour of your gums and jawbone before resorption can begin.
At Serena Health Istanbul, every immediate implant is guided by a 3D cone-beam CT scan and a digital surgical plan — so precision is built into every step before we even begin.

The Real Advantages of Choosing Same-Day Implant Placement
Beyond speed, immediate implants offer biological and aesthetic advantages that delayed protocols simply cannot replicate. Here’s what makes this treatment so sought-after by international patients.
Fewer Appointments, Faster Results
Extraction and implant surgery are completed in a single visit. You skip weeks of healing between procedures — ideal if you’re travelling from abroad and want to minimise your time in Istanbul.
Bone Preservation From Day One
When a tooth is removed, the surrounding jawbone begins to shrink almost immediately. Placing an implant into the fresh socket stimulates the bone and halts that resorption process before it can alter your facial structure.
Immediate Temporary Tooth
In many cases, a temporary crown can be attached on the same day. You won’t leave our clinic with a visible gap — your smile stays complete throughout the entire healing period, protecting both your confidence and the implant site.
Preserved Gum Contour
The natural soft tissue around the tooth is maintained when an implant is placed immediately. This protects the gumline shape — an aesthetic detail that is extremely difficult to recreate once gum recession has occurred.
Reduced Surgical Trauma
Combining two procedures into one means your body heals from a single surgical event rather than two separate ones. Many patients report that the overall recovery experience is more comfortable than they anticipated.
Superior Aesthetic Outcomes
Studies published in 2025 show immediate implants produce measurably better pink aesthetic scores — meaning the gum tissue around the final crown looks more natural compared to delayed placement approaches.
How Immediate Implant Placement Works at Serena Health Istanbul
Precision is everything in same-day implant surgery. Here is exactly what happens during your procedure — explained clearly, without the jargon.
3D CBCT Scan & Digital Planning
Before any treatment begins, we take a full cone-beam CT scan of your jaw. This creates a precise 3D map of your bone volume, nerve pathways, and socket anatomy. Your implant position is planned digitally to the millimetre — reducing surgical guesswork entirely.
Gentle Tooth Extraction
The compromised tooth is removed as carefully as possible to protect the surrounding bone walls and gum tissue. An atraumatic extraction technique is used to keep the socket in the best possible condition for immediate implant support.
Titanium Implant Insertion
Immediately after extraction, the titanium post is inserted into the socket using guided placement at the exact angle and depth specified in your digital plan. Achieving primary stability — the secure initial grip of the implant in bone — is the critical measure of success at this stage.
Temporary Crown Fitting (Where Applicable)
When primary stability is confirmed and clinical conditions allow, a temporary tooth is secured to the implant the same day. During your healing period at home, the bone fuses with the implant through osseointegration — your final crown is fitted on a follow-up visit.
Your Complete Journey with Serena Health Istanbul
From your first WhatsApp message to your final smile — we walk beside you at every stage. Here’s what your experience looks like in four clear steps.
Free Remote Consultation
Send us your X-rays and photos via WhatsApp. We review your case and advise you on immediate implant suitability — usually within 24 hours, at no cost.
Arrival & 3D Assessment
On day one in Istanbul, we perform a CBCT scan and full clinical evaluation. Your personalised digital treatment plan is confirmed before any procedure takes place.
Extraction & Implant Day
Your tooth is removed and your implant is placed in the same comfortable appointment under local anaesthesia. A temporary crown is fitted where clinically appropriate.
Healing, Crown & Aftercare
You return home to heal. After osseointegration — typically 8–12 weeks — you come back for your final porcelain or zirconia crown. We stay in touch remotely throughout.
Who Is Suitable for an Immediate Dental Implant?
Not every patient is a candidate for same-day implant placement — and being honest about that is part of what makes our care trustworthy. The right clinical conditions are essential. A 3D scan is always required to confirm eligibility.
- Tooth requiring extraction due to fracture, decay, or failure — not active infection
- Sufficient jawbone volume and intact socket walls to anchor the implant securely
- Healthy gum tissue with no untreated periodontal disease
- Good overall health — no uncontrolled systemic conditions affecting healing
- Non-smoker or committed to abstaining during the osseointegration period
- Realistic expectations and commitment to follow-up care from home
What to Realistically Expect Before, During and After
We believe well-informed patients heal better and feel more confident. Here’s a transparent look at what your immediate implant experience genuinely involves.
Before Treatment
Some patients require preparatory treatment — such as a short course of antibiotics or treatment of existing gum disease — before an immediate implant can be safely placed. If your bone is insufficient, a simultaneous bone graft may be recommended. Your 3D scan will determine this at your first appointment. According to research published via the NIH, careful patient selection is the single most important factor in immediate implant success.
During Recovery
Expect mild swelling, tenderness, and some bruising around the implant site for 3–5 days following surgery. This is entirely normal and managed with prescribed medication. A soft-food diet is recommended for the first 2–3 weeks. Most patients feel comfortable enough to resume light activities within 48–72 hours of the procedure.
Long-Term Results
After the osseointegration period — typically 8–12 weeks — your final crown is fitted and your new tooth becomes a permanent, natural-feeling part of your smile. The American Dental Association recognises dental implants as the gold standard for tooth replacement, with longevity spanning decades when properly maintained.

Your Immediate Implant Questions, Answered Honestly
These are the questions international patients ask us most often. If yours isn’t here — just send us a WhatsApp and we’ll reply directly.
What exactly is an immediate dental implant?
An immediate implant is placed into the tooth socket on the same day as the extraction — in a single appointment. This differs from the traditional method, where patients wait 3–6 months between tooth removal and implant surgery. The approach is safe and effective when the right clinical conditions are present.
Is immediate implant placement painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort — typically mild swelling and soreness — is very manageable with the medication we prescribe. Most patients describe the experience as far more comfortable than they expected, and return to normal activity within a few days.
Can an immediate implant be placed if there is an infection?
Active infection at the extraction site is a contraindication for immediate placement. If there is infection present, we will treat it fully first — then assess you for implant placement after sufficient healing. Rushing the process would compromise the implant’s long-term stability, and we never take that risk.
Will I have a tooth on the day of surgery?
In many cases, yes. Where primary implant stability is confirmed and soft tissue conditions allow, a temporary crown can be attached the same day. However, this is always a clinical decision made during surgery — not a promise made before it. Patient safety and long-term outcomes always guide that decision.
How long does the entire immediate implant process take?
Your first visit to Istanbul typically spans 3–5 days — including your scan, consultation, surgery, and follow-up check. You then return home to heal for 8–12 weeks during osseointegration. A second shorter visit (2–3 days) is arranged for your final crown fitting. We coordinate everything around your travel schedule.
Is immediate implant placement safe for front teeth?
Yes — and in fact, the front teeth (the aesthetic zone) are where immediate implants can produce some of the most impressive results. The ability to preserve the natural gumline shape is particularly valuable for visible front teeth. However, the procedure requires specialist-level skill and 3D planning, which is standard at our clinic.
What are the risks of immediate implant placement?
Risks include a slightly higher chance of gum recession or implant micro-movement if conditions are not ideal — which is why careful patient selection matters so much. Our 3D digital planning process significantly reduces these risks. We will always advise delayed placement if the conditions suggest a better outcome with more healing time.
How long will my immediate implant last?
The titanium implant post is designed to be a lifelong fixture. The porcelain or zirconia crown typically lasts 15–25 years with regular care. With daily brushing, flossing, and annual dental check-ups, your immediate implant can function and look completely natural for decades to come.
