Same-Day Dental Implants Cost (2026)

Quick answer: Same-day implant treatment typically costs $22,000–$48,000 per arch and is usually All-on-4 with a provisional prosthesis delivered on surgery day. You leave with teeth, but the final prosthesis comes months later.

What "same day" actually means

"Teeth in a day" means the implants are placed and a temporary fixed or removable prosthesis is attached the same day. It does not mean the final teeth are finished.

Stage	Timing
Surgery and implant placement	Day 1
Provisional teeth	Day 1 (same visit)
Healing and integration	3–6 months
Final prosthesis	After healing

The provisional protects the implants and lets you function, but it is not the final restoration. Final teeth are designed after the gums and bone stabilize.

Who qualifies

Immediate loading requires:

Adequate bone to stabilize the implants.
Good primary stability at placement.
No active infection in the site.
Good general health, no uncontrolled diabetes, and no heavy smoking.
Realistic expectations about the provisional.

Not every patient is a candidate. If stability is marginal, the surgeon may prefer a staged approach with a removable temporary.

Cost breakdown

Item	Typical cost
4 implants per arch	included
Provisional prosthesis	included
Final prosthesis	included in most quotes
Extractions	often extra
Grafting	often extra
Sedation	often extra
Per arch	$22,000–$48,000

Some clinics quote the provisional separately. Ask whether the final prosthesis is included and what material it is.

Risks

Higher failure rate when implants are loaded immediately in poor bone.
Provisional fracture — acrylic provisionals can break under load.
Gum recession around implants during healing.
Revision surgery if an implant fails.

The trade-off is speed and function now vs a slightly higher risk profile. A staged approach is often more conservative.

Same-day vs staged

	Same-day	Staged
Teeth on day 1	Yes (provisional)	No, or removable temporary
Surgery visits	Fewer	More
Risk profile	Higher in borderline cases	Lower
Cost	Similar, sometimes higher	Similar

Insurance and financing

Most plans cap benefits at the annual maximum and often exclude implants. See cost with insurance and financing.

FAQ

How much do same-day implants cost?

$22,000–$48,000 per arch, usually All-on-4 with a provisional.

Do I get permanent teeth the same day?

No. You get a provisional; the final prosthesis comes after healing, usually 3–6 months later.

Am I a candidate for same-day implants?

If you have adequate bone, good primary stability, no active infection, and good health. Typically: adequate bone, good primary stability, no active infection, and no uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking.

Is same-day riskier?

It can be, especially in borderline bone. The risk is higher than staged treatment.

How long does the surgery take?

Often two to four hours for one arch, including extractions and provisional placement.

Can I get same-day implants on the upper arch?

Yes, but the upper arch often needs more planning because of the sinus and bone quality.
