For many patients in Manteca and Tracy, it is possible to leave a dental appointment with a new tooth the same day a failing tooth comes out.
Fewer appointments and less time without a visible tooth make same day dental implants one of the most talked-about tooth replacement options available today. This page breaks down exactly how the process works and who it realistically fits.

How Same Day Implant Placement Works
When the tooth site is healthy enough, extraction and implant placement can happen in a single visit, with no waiting weeks between procedures. Before surgery, our oral surgeons use computer-guided planning software to map out precise placement. Planning digitally ahead of time reduces guesswork and supports accuracy once you’re in the chair.
A temporary tooth is typically attached the same day so you leave with something functional and natural-looking. The temporary tooth isn’t your final restoration.
Implant integration with the surrounding bone takes time. The implant gradually fuses with the jaw over several months, and your final restoration will be placed once that process is complete. That healing period is what supports long-term success, so same day refers to when the implant goes in, not when the entire process finishes.
Who Same Day Implants Work Best For
Candidacy comes down to bone quality and gum health at the time of extraction. A site that needs more preparation before an implant can be placed safely isn’t a closed door, it’s a factor our team looks at closely and plans around. This approach works for a single missing tooth as well as more involved full-arch replacement plans, and the range of applications is wider than many patients expect.
Overall health, bone density, and gum condition are all variables our team goes through with you at your consultation. The goal is a clear picture of your options, not a checklist that sends you home without answers. Imaging helps clarify what the site can support, and our surgeons walk you through what they find before any decisions are made.
Coverage for same day dental implants varies by individual policy and should be confirmed directly with your insurer. Third-party financing through programs like CareCredit and Cherry may also help make treatment more accessible. Our team makes sure you have the full picture before any commitment is made. Financing is available through Proceed, Cherry, and CareCredit.
