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.

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.
