Same day dental implants in Colchester
Tooth out. Implant in. One appointment. In 80% of cases, that’s the route at Love Implants. The failing tooth is extracted and the implant is placed in the same socket at the same visit. One surgery, not two. One recovery, not two. Treatment time cut by at least three months.
Dr Andrew Fennell has placed over 7,000 implants in 20 years, and same-day placement is something he does routinely.

What same-day dental implants actually means.
The phrase covers two related but distinct procedures. Immediate implant placement. A failing tooth is extracted and the implant is placed in the same socket at the same appointment. This is what happens in 80% of cases at Love Implants when extraction is required. Immediate load (teeth in a day). A temporary crown or bridge is fitted to the implant on the same day. You walk out with something in the space, not a gap. This is what makes All-on-4 full-arch cases possible to do in a single visit. These two things can happen together in many cases, depending on bone quality and the position of the tooth.
Who same-day implants are for.
The bone around the failing tooth is healthy enough to support an implant immediately.
You don't have active infection that would compromise the implant.
You're a non-smoker, or willing to stop or significantly reduce around the surgery.
The free CT scan tells Andrew whether your case is suitable. About 80% of patients who need extractions are suitable for immediate placement. If immediate placement isn’t possible (because the bone needs to heal, or grafting is required), staged treatment is the route. The implant goes in once the site is ready. It takes longer but the outcome is the same.
What happens during same-day treatment.
1. Free consultation with Andrew. Meet the dentist who'll be doing your treatment. He examines the failing tooth (or teeth) and explains the options.
2. Free CT scan. A 3D scan of your jaw confirms whether same-day placement is possible.
3. Treatment plan and accurate cost. You see the plan, the timing, and the price. No surprises.
4. The same-day appointment. The failing tooth is extracted. The socket is cleaned. The implant is placed into the prepared socket. A temporary crown or bridge is fitted where appropriate. You go home with the implant in and (often) something in the gap.
5. Healing. The implant integrates with the bone over a few months. You wear the temporary tooth during this time.
6. Final crown fitting. A digital scan goes to the technician. Your permanent crown is made and fitted.
You save at least three months of treatment time compared to the staged approach.
Why this isn't risky.
Patients are sometimes nervous about same-day implants because it sounds like a shortcut. It isn’t. Same-day placement has been done for decades and has well-documented success rates equivalent to staged placement, in cases where it’s clinically appropriate. The key word is “appropriate”. Andrew won’t do same-day placement in a case where the bone or infection rules it out. The CT scan and clinical examination decide. If your case is suitable, same-day is the better route. If it isn’t, you’ll be told.
