Same-Day Dental Implants at Forest Road Dental – Hurstville’s Trusted Implant Specialists
When considering dental implants to replace missing teeth, many envision a lengthy process requiring multiple visits. At Forest Road Dental, we are proud to offer an advanced alternative — same-day dental implants that can be completed in a single appointment, restoring your smile efficiently and comfortably.
Our experienced implant dentist, Dr. Laurence Doan, is trained in cutting-edge implant techniques, allowing you to receive functional and aesthetically pleasing implant restorations on the very day of your procedure. Whether you have lost teeth due to trauma, decay, or other causes, same-day implants provide a seamless solution for a confident, natural-looking smile makeover.
Who Is a Candidate for Same-Day Dental Implants?
While same-day implants offer remarkable convenience, not every patient is suitable for this treatment. During your initial consultation, our implant specialists will conduct a thorough assessment, including oral and bone health evaluations, to determine your eligibility. Ideal candidates typically:
Have sufficient jawbone density and volume to support the implant
Exhibit good overall oral health with healthy gum tissue
Do not suffer from medical conditions that could impair healing
Maintain a stable bite and do not habitually grind their teeth
If you meet these criteria, same-day dental implants can provide an immediate, durable, and cosmetically excellent tooth replacement.
Alternative Solutions if Same-Day Implants Are Not Suitable
For patients who require additional healing time due to infection, insufficient bone, or other factors, we offer delayed implant placement scheduled three to six months post-extraction. During this interim, we can provide temporary tooth replacements, so you never need to go without a smile. Options include:
Bonded temporary teeth
Clear plastic retainers with false teeth (Essex retainers)
Removable partial dentures or flippers
These temporary solutions maintain aesthetics and function while your implant site heals.
Advantages of Same-Day Dental Implants
Dental implant technology has evolved tremendously since its inception in the 1960s. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants preserve bone health and the integrity of adjacent teeth. Same-day implants deliver these benefits with added convenience:
Minimally invasive procedure with fewer appointments
Preservation of jawbone density and facial structure
Natural-looking restorations that blend seamlessly with your smile
Immediate restoration of chewing function and confidence
While same-day implants may carry similar costs to conventional implants, the reduced treatment time and fewer visits make them an attractive option for eligible patients.
