Your Treatment at a Glance
At Downing Dental in Knowle, Solihull, same day implants combine implant placement and a temporary crown or bridge into one efficient appointment. This approach suits carefully selected patients and means you leave with a restored smile rather than waiting through a prolonged gap period before receiving your new tooth.
Careful pre-treatment planning is central to our same day approach. Using detailed digital scans and 3D imaging, we prepare thoroughly before your appointment to ensure placement is accurate and the temporary restoration fits well, providing good function and a natural appearance from day one.

Understanding Same Day Implants
Same day implants — sometimes called immediate loading implants — involve placing the titanium post and attaching a temporary prosthesis in a single visit. This is possible when sufficient bone density and quality provide immediate implant stability. Detailed pre-operative planning ensures correct position and that loading forces are appropriately managed during the healing period.
The temporary restoration is designed to function gently whilst the implant undergoes osseointegration over the following months. Once healing is confirmed, the final custom crown or bridge is fitted for long-term use. Not every patient is suitable; a thorough assessment will determine whether same day loading is the right option for your individual situation.
The Right Candidate
You might be a suitable candidate for same day implants in Knowle, Solihull, if any of the following apply:
- Good jawbone density: Sufficient bone quality and volume are essential to provide the immediate stability needed for loading an implant on the day of placement.
- Good general health: Patients should be in good overall health with no uncontrolled systemic conditions that could impair healing or increase the risk of complications.
- Non-smoker or willing to quit: Smoking significantly affects healing and implant integration; non-smokers or those willing to abstain during treatment are considerably more suitable candidates.
- Healthy gum tissue: Active gum disease should be fully resolved before same day implant placement to reduce infection risk and support predictable, successful osseointegration.
Why Choose Same Day Implants
There are several reasons to consider same day dental implants, including:
Immediate smile restoration
A temporary restoration is placed the same day as the implant, so you leave the practice with a tooth rather than a visible gap.
1
Fewer total appointments
Combining placement and provisional restoration into one visit reduces the number of appointments required, saving time and minimising daily disruption.
2
No visible gap
Patients avoid the aesthetic and functional inconvenience of a gap during healing, maintaining a natural-looking appearance from the very first day.
3
Precision 3D planning
Detailed 3D imaging and digital planning ensure accurate implant positioning and a well-fitting restoration from the outset, improving both aesthetics and predictability.
4
Natural appearance
Custom temporary and final crowns are shade-matched and shaped to complement your existing teeth, blending seamlessly from the first appointment onwards.
5
Long-term reliability
When placed in suitable candidates following thorough assessment, same day implants offer the same excellent long-term outcomes as conventional implant treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Take a look at the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about this treatment:
Am I definitely suitable for same day implants?
Not everyone is suitable. A thorough assessment including detailed scans is required to evaluate bone density, health, and other factors. We only recommend this approach when it is clinically appropriate for you.
Is the same day restoration the permanent one?
The crown placed on the day is a carefully crafted temporary restoration. Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, typically after several months, a definitive custom crown is then fitted.
Does the appointment take longer than a standard procedure?
It may be slightly longer due to the combined procedures, but extensive planning done beforehand allows us to work efficiently, keeping your time in the chair as comfortable as possible.
