Same Day implants Glasgow

Missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak and smile. At Michael Kelly Dentistry in Glasgow, same day dental implants offer a fast and convenient way to replace missing teeth without waiting months for a fixed smile.

With this advanced approach you can arrive with missing or failing teeth and leave with a secure temporary crown or bridge on the very same day.

What Are Same Day Implants

Same day implants allow the implant and a temporary restoration to be placed in a single visit. This means you do not need a removable denture or long waiting period while the implant heals.

The implant still requires time to integrate with the bone. However you enjoy fixed teeth immediately while the healing process takes place underneath.

Who Can Have Same Day Implants

Not everyone is suitable for same day placement. You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have a healthy mouth with good gum condition
• Have strong bone levels in the implant area
• Do not grind your teeth heavily
• Need to replace a front tooth for aesthetic reasons
• Want to avoid wearing a removable temporary denture

We confirm suitability through a detailed consultation and digital scans.

The Benefits of Same Day Implants

• Leave the clinic with secure temporary teeth on the same day
• No need for removable dentures during healing
• Fast improvement in confidence and appearance
• Convenient for people with tight schedules
• Suitable for single teeth or multiple implants in selected cases

The Same Day Implant Process

Here is what to expect at Michael Kelly Dentistry.

Consultation and Assessment
We begin with a full dental examination and digital scans. This allows us to assess bone levels and plan your implant placement with precision.

Treatment Planning
We use 3D imaging software to map out implant position, angle and depth. This ensures your implant is placed accurately and safely.

Implant Placement
The implant is placed using local anaesthetic. Sedation is available for anxious patients. The procedure is gentle and carefully controlled for comfort.

Immediate Temporary Tooth
A temporary crown or bridge is attached to the implant on the same day. This is for aesthetic use and light function only. It should not be used for heavy biting while the implant heals.

Healing and Integration
Over the following weeks the implant bonds with the bone. You continue wearing your fixed temporary tooth while the area heals.

Final Crown or Bridge
Once the implant has fully integrated we fit your final porcelain crown or bridge. This tooth is custom designed to match your smile perfectly.

How Same Day Implants Differ from Traditional Implants

Same Day Implants

• Temporary tooth fitted immediately
• Faster cosmetic result
• Avoids removable dentures during healing

Traditional Implants

• Healing period before any tooth is attached
• Often require temporary removable dentures
• Suitable for a wider range of patients

Both methods provide excellent results. We will guide you through the safest and most predictable option for your situation.

Comfort and Pain Free Dentistry

Implant treatment is carried out using gentle anaesthetic techniques. Most patients describe the experience as pressure rather than pain. Sedation is available if you prefer additional relaxation.

We provide clear aftercare instructions to help reduce swelling and tenderness during the early days after your appointment.

How Long Do Same Day Implants Last

Same day implants are designed to be a long term solution. The implant post can last many years with proper care. The final crown or bridge may require maintenance over time due to normal wear.

Success depends on good home care and regular check ups to keep gums and bone healthy.

How to Care for Same Day Implants

• Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
• Use interdental brushes or floss around the implant
• Avoid hard biting on the temporary tooth
• Attend regular hygiene visits and implant reviews
• Avoid smoking which can reduce implant success
