What is an Immediate Dental Implant?

Extraction & Implant in One Visit

An immediate dental implant is placed directly into the socket left by the extracted tooth in the same surgical appointment. This compresses a conventional two-stage, 9–14 month process into 5–7 months — while preserving the natural bone architecture of the extraction site and allowing a provisional crown to be fitted the same day.

The critical advantage is bone preservation: after extraction, alveolar bone begins resorbing within weeks. Immediate placement interrupts this process, maintaining the bone volume and gum contour that define long-term aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Protocol Comparison

Immediate vs Conventional Placement

Both protocols deliver excellent long-term outcomes. The right choice depends on socket condition, bone integrity, and infection status at the extraction site.

✦ Faster — When Eligible

Immediate Placement

✓Extraction and implant in a single appointment
✓Preserves natural socket bone architecture
✓Total time reduced to 5–7 months
✓Provisional crown same day in most cases
✓Fewer total surgical appointments
✓Superior gum contour outcome
✗Strict eligibility: no infection, adequate bone
✗Slightly higher surgical complexity
✗Initial implant stability can be lower (gap fill required)

Best for:

Patients where the socket is free of acute infection, bone walls are intact, and the surgeon confirms primary stability can be achieved. VeaHealth confirms eligibility from your imaging before you travel.

Conventional (Delayed) Placement

✓Implant placed in fully healed, consolidated bone
✓Higher initial primary stability at placement
✓Lower surgical complexity
✓Required when active infection is present
✓Allows full bone grafting when augmentation is needed
✗9–14 months total treatment timeline
✗Two separate surgical appointments minimum
✗Bone resorption begins immediately post-extraction
✗Gap in smile during the healing-wait phase

Best for:

Cases with active infection, significant buccal plate loss, or insufficient bone where full site preparation and graft healing is required before implant placement.

Step by Step

The Immediate Implant Procedure

From your CBCT scan in Istanbul to your final crown — every stage explained with complete transparency by VeaHealth.

🔍

Step 01

Day 1 — Istanbul

Consultation & CBCT 3D Assessment

Full clinical examination with CBCT cone beam 3D imaging maps the extraction socket — assessing bone height, width, cortical wall integrity, and proximity to critical anatomy. The scan screens for periapical infection or bone pathology that would contraindicate immediate placement. Your VeaHealth coordinator attends throughout. This scan determines eligibility before any surgery is planned.

~1.5 hours · Same arrival day

Day 1–2 · Planning

Digital Planning & Protocol Decision

If CBCT confirms adequate bone, intact socket walls, and no acute infection, immediate placement is confirmed and the implant dimensions are selected virtually. If eligibility criteria are not met, VeaHealth’s team presents the conventional protocol with full transparency — before any surgery proceeds. No patient travels for a procedure they are not suited for.

12–24 hours planning phase

💻

Step 02

🪥

Step 03

Day 2–3 · Surgery

Atraumatic Extraction

The tooth is removed using atraumatic techniques — periotomes, luxators, and micro-surgical instruments — designed to preserve the socket walls and minimise bone trauma. Avoiding damage to the buccal plate is critical for long-term aesthetics. No traumatic force is applied that could fracture the socket architecture required to support the immediate implant.

15–30 minutes · Local anaesthesia

Same Appointment · Core Step

Immediate Implant Placement & Socket Graft

The titanium implant — Straumann or Nobel Biocare — is placed directly into the fresh socket. It is positioned slightly palatally and apically to engage solid native bone beyond the socket tip for primary stability. The gap between the implant and socket walls is filled with bone graft material to support new bone formation and prevent soft tissue ingrowth. Primary stability is measured — it must exceed the minimum threshold (ISQ ≥ 60) before the provisional crown is placed.

30–60 min · Directly after extraction

🔩

Step 04

👑

Step 05

Same Day

Provisional Crown Placement

When primary stability is confirmed (ISQ ≥ 65), a provisional crown is placed the same day — immediate provisionalization. The provisional is designed out of occlusion (no contact with opposing teeth during biting) to protect the healing implant. You leave Istanbul with a complete tooth. Where stability is marginal, a healing cap is used and the provisional fitted at a follow-up visit.

Leave Istanbul with a tooth in place

Months 3–6 · Remote Phase

Osseointegration & VeaHealth Monitoring

Bone fuses to the implant surface over 3–6 months. VeaHealth’s remote aftercare programme provides structured digital check-ins, photo assessments, and coordinator access throughout — no travel required during this phase. Because the implant sits in a fresh socket, surrounding bone remodels around it, producing excellent long-term integration when primary stability was confirmed.

3–6 months · Full remote monitoring

Step 07

Return Visit · Final Crown

Definitive Crown Placement

Once osseointegration is confirmed, you return to Istanbul for your final zirconia or ceramic crown — CAD/CAM milled, shade-matched, and precision-fitted to your dentition. The permanent crown is placed at full occlusion. Warranty documentation is issued. VeaHealth confirms ongoing remote support for continued aftercare.

Patient Selection

Who Is Eligible for Immediate Placement?

Immediate implants require a specific set of clinical conditions at the extraction site. VeaHealth confirms eligibility from your CBCT scan before you travel.

✅ Eligible Conditions

✓
No acute infection at the extraction site. Chronic low-grade periapical pathology may be manageable with antibiotic protocol — assessed case by case.
✓
Intact socket walls — all four bone walls preserved. Partial buccal plate fenestration is evaluated individually by the surgeon.
✓
Sufficient apical bone — at least 3–5mm of native bone beyond the socket apex for the implant to achieve primary stability.
✓
Primary stability achievable — surgeon confirms ISQ ≥ 60–65 at placement before proceeding to immediate provisionalization.
✓
Favourable tooth type — most commonly upper/lower incisors, canines, and premolars where socket geometry matches standard implant dimensions.
✓
Good systemic health — no uncontrolled diabetes, no active chemotherapy, no IV bisphosphonate therapy affecting jaw bone viability.

❌ Contraindications

✗
Acute abscess / active infection — immediate placement in an infected socket significantly increases failure risk. Conventional protocol required after complete resolution.
✗
Severely damaged socket walls — extensive buccal plate loss requires site preparation and grafting before any implant placement.
✗
Insufficient primary stability — if ISQ cannot reach threshold at placement, VeaHealth automatically adopts conventional delayed protocol.
✗
Heavy smoking — nicotine critically impairs vascular healing in fresh sockets. Cessation is mandatory before immediate implant surgery.
✗
Uncontrolled diabetes — impaired bone healing in fresh sockets makes immediate placement high risk without optimal glycemic management.
✗
Multi-rooted molar sites — large, divergent socket geometry makes reliable primary stability difficult with standard implant dimensions.

Components

Materials & Technology

Immediate implant success depends on implant surface design, bone graft quality, and digital planning precision. VeaHealth uses only premium-tier systems at every partner clinic.

🔩

Titanium Implant Fixture

Straumann SLActive and Nobel Biocare TiUnite surfaces are both specifically validated for fresh-socket immediate placement — their surface chemistry promotes rapid osseointegration even when the implant is initially surrounded by a graft rather than consolidated bone. Brand, model, and batch number confirmed in writing at placement.

🦴

Socket Bone Graft

The gap between the implant surface and socket walls — the “jumping distance” — is filled with bone graft: xenograft (bovine), synthetic hydroxyapatite, or autologous bone. This graft supports new bone formation around the implant during osseointegration and prevents soft tissue ingrowth into the socket void.

🛡️

Collagen Membrane (GBR)

A resorbable collagen membrane placed over the graft protects it, excludes epithelial cells, and directs bone formation — guided bone regeneration. The membrane resorbs naturally over 3–6 months, creating the controlled environment the graft needs to mineralise into stable bone around the implant without requiring removal surgery.

💎

Provisional & Final Crown

The same-day provisional is fabricated from high-strength PMMA and designed completely out of occlusal contact to protect the healing implant. The definitive crown is CAD/CAM milled zirconia or all-ceramic — shade-matched to surrounding teeth and placed at full occlusion after confirmed osseointegration.

Advantages

Key Benefits of Immediate Placement

⚡

Dramatically Shorter Timeline

Total treatment compressed from 9–14 months to 5–7 months — saving 3–7 months for eligible patients, with one fewer surgical appointment and anaesthesia session.

🦴

Bone Volume Preserved

Immediate placement interrupts the rapid alveolar resorption that begins within weeks of extraction — protecting the bone volume and gum contour that define long-term aesthetic and functional outcomes.

😁

Same-Day Provisional Tooth

When primary stability is confirmed, a provisional crown is placed the same day — no gap in the smile during osseointegration, maintaining aesthetics and confidence throughout healing.

🌸

Superior Gum Contour

The provisional crown in the fresh socket guides soft tissue healing into a natural gum profile, producing significantly better papilla preservation vs delayed protocol.

🪥

Fewer Surgical Appointments

Combining extraction and implant into one appointment eliminates the second surgical procedure — reducing total anaesthesia exposure, healing periods, and time away from home.

💰

Reduced Overall Cost

Fewer appointments and stages typically reduce total cost vs two-stage protocol — especially significant through VeaHealth’s Istanbul pricing at 60–70% below UK/US market rates.

Clinical Outcomes

Success Rates & Patient Criteria

In properly selected cases, immediate implants achieve outcomes comparable to conventional placement — with the significant benefit of a shorter overall timeline.

✅ Ideal Patient Profile

✓
Single tooth extraction siteMost commonly incisors, canines, premolars — where socket geometry is most favourable for immediate implant dimensions.
✓
No active periapical infectionAcute abscess is an absolute contraindication. Chronic pathology may be manageable with antibiotic protocol — confirmed case by case.
✓
Adequate apical boneAt least 3–5mm of native bone beyond the socket tip for primary stability — confirmed by CBCT before surgery.
✓
Non-smoker or committed to cessationSmoking critically impairs fresh-socket vascular healing. Cessation mandatory before immediate implant surgery.
✓
Good systemic healthWell-controlled or absent systemic conditions. Stable diabetes compatible; uncontrolled is a relative contraindication.
✓
Strict aftercare commitmentSoft diet for 6–8 weeks, no load on the provisional crown, and excellent oral hygiene are essential throughout osseointegration.

⚠️ Higher Risk Factors

✗
Acute infection at siteMust be fully resolved — conventional delayed protocol required after complete clearance.
✗
Heavy smokingHighest modifiable risk factor for immediate implant failure — cessation is mandatory.
✗
Severely compromised socket wallsBuccal plate defects >50% require conventional approach with prior bone grafting.

Clinical Success Rate

90–96%

Implant survival at 5–10 years for immediate placement in properly selected cases — no statistically significant difference from conventional delayed protocol outcomes in published meta-analysis.

vs Conventional: Meta-analyses confirm no significant survival difference between immediate and delayed protocols in optimally selected patients.

Aesthetic outcomes: Immediate provisionalization achieves significantly better papilla preservation and natural gum emergence profile vs delayed protocol.

Bone resorption: Significantly reduced marginal bone loss at 1 year vs delayed placement — particularly at the buccal aspect.

Post-Op Care

Aftercare & Best Practices

Immediate implants require strict aftercare — especially during the first 6–8 weeks, when the fresh socket is simultaneously healing from extraction and undergoing early osseointegration.

🧊

Pain & Swelling

Cold compresses to the cheek for the first 24–48 hours. Take prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatories exactly as directed. Head elevated on two pillows during sleep for the first 3–5 days to reduce throbbing and swelling.

🥣

Strict Soft Diet

Soft foods only for 6–8 weeks — yoghurt, soups, smoothies, scrambled eggs. No hard, crunchy, chewy, or sticky foods at the implant site. Any bite force on the provisional crown during early healing risks implant failure. This is the most critical aftercare rule.

🪥

Oral Hygiene

No rinsing for the first 24 hours. Gentle saltwater rinses from day 2. Soft-bristle brush for all other teeth — avoid the surgical site initially. Chlorhexidine rinse as prescribed. Water irrigator at low pressure once the site has closed (after ~2 weeks).

🚭

Critical Restrictions

Absolutely no smoking for minimum 8 weeks — the single most important aftercare rule for immediate implants. No alcohol during the first 2 weeks. No strenuous exercise for 5–7 days. Do not probe or apply pressure to the provisional crown with tongue or fingers.

Patient Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is an immediate dental implant?

An immediate dental implant is placed directly into the socket left by the extracted tooth in the same surgical appointment — combining extraction and implant placement into a single procedure. This contrasts with conventional (delayed) placement, where the socket heals for 4–8 weeks before the implant is placed in a separate surgery.

Am I eligible for an immediate implant?

Eligibility requires: no acute infection at the extraction site, intact or near-intact socket walls, sufficient bone beyond the socket apex for primary stability, and confirmation of adequate primary stability (ISQ ≥ 60–65) at placement. VeaHealth evaluates eligibility from your CBCT scan before you travel — so you know whether immediate placement is viable before booking.

Will I have a tooth the same day?

In most cases, yes. When primary stability is sufficient (ISQ ≥ 65), a provisional crown is attached the same day as the implant placement — immediate provisionalization. The provisional is designed out of occlusion to protect the healing implant. Where stability is marginal, a healing cap is used and the provisional fitted at a later visit.

What is the success rate vs conventional implants?

Meta-analyses confirm no statistically significant difference in implant survival between immediate and delayed protocols in properly selected cases. Immediate placement achieves 90–96% survival at 5–10 years, comparable to conventional rates of 94–98%. The key is rigorous pre-operative patient selection — which VeaHealth conducts before any patient travels.

How many trips to Istanbul are required?

Typically two trips: the first visit (2–4 days) for the CBCT assessment, extraction, immediate implant placement, and provisional crown; the return visit (1–2 days) after osseointegration for the definitive zirconia crown. The entire healing phase — 3–6 months — is managed remotely by VeaHealth with no travel required in between.

Does immediate placement require a bone graft?

Almost always, yes — but a limited socket-fill graft. The gap between the implant surface and the socket walls must be filled with graft material to support bone formation and prevent soft tissue ingrowth. This is performed in the same appointment. It is far less extensive than a full bone augmentation procedure.

Can smokers receive an immediate implant?

Smoking significantly increases failure risk in immediate implants — more so than in conventional protocol — because nicotine impairs vascular healing in the fresh socket environment. VeaHealth strongly advises cessation for a minimum of 6 weeks before and 8 weeks after surgery. This is the single most impactful modifiable risk factor.

What implant brands does VeaHealth use?

VeaHealth contractually guarantees Straumann and Nobel Biocare implants — both with surface technologies specifically validated for immediate placement protocols (SLActive and TiUnite respectively). Brand, model, and batch number are confirmed in writing at placement and included in your international warranty documentation.
