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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
