Pee Dee Implant Center places same day dental implants in Florence, South Carolina for patients across the Pee Dee region. Same-day treatment, also called immediate loading or teeth in a day, means the implant goes in and a temporary tooth is fitted at the same appointment. You do not leave with a gap. The permanent crown or arch still follows three to six months later once the bone has fused to the implant.
What does same day mean, exactly?
It means immediate loading, not instant completion. The titanium implant is placed and a temporary crown or fixed temporary arch is attached the same day. Osseointegration still takes three to four months in the lower jaw and four to six in the upper. The final restoration is fitted after that. Anyone advertising a finished permanent tooth in one visit is describing something that biology does not allow.
Am I a candidate for same day implants?
The deciding measurement is insertion torque. The implant must achieve at least 35 Ncm of primary stability at placement to tolerate immediate function. That requires adequate bone density and volume, which the CBCT scan measures before the appointment is booked. Active infection at the site, uncontrolled diabetes and heavy bruxism all rule it out. Where torque falls short, the implant is left to integrate under a healing cap instead, which costs you months but not the outcome.
How much do same day dental implants cost in Florence, SC?
$3,500 to $5,500 for a single tooth including the temporary and the final crown. A same-day full arch through All-on-4 runs $20,000 to $30,000. Same-day implant dentures run $6,000 to $15,000 per arch. The immediate temporary itself typically adds $300 to $800 to a single-tooth case.
Can the implant go in the same day the tooth is extracted?
Yes, where the socket walls are intact and there is no active infection. This is immediate placement, and it is separate from immediate loading, though the two are often done together. It removes three to four months from the timeline by skipping a separate healing phase. Where the socket is blown out or infected, socket grafting goes in instead and the implant follows in three to four months.
Is the temporary tooth like a real tooth?
It looks right and it holds the space, but it is built to protect the implant rather than to chew on. You stay on a soft diet for the first eight to twelve weeks, avoid biting directly through anything with it, and chew on the other side. Overloading a temporary is one of the more common causes of early implant failure, which is why the instructions matter more here than at any other stage.
Technician insight
Same day is a scheduling advantage, not a clinical shortcut, and it is worth most to patients replacing a front tooth. For a molar nobody sees, waiting three months under a healing cap gives a marginally better integration rate and costs nothing extra. We say so rather than upsell the temporary.
