Immediate Dental Implants in Beverly Hills
Same-Day Tooth Replacement for a Complete, Confident Smile
Immediate dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone during the same appointment as tooth extraction. At Smile Angels of Beverly Hills, I provide this advanced procedure that allows patients throughout Los Angeles to leave our office with a functional replacement tooth on the same day.
What Are Immediate Dental Implants and How Do They Work?
Immediate dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed directly into the extraction socket immediately after removing a damaged or diseased tooth. Unlike traditional implant procedures that require months of healing between extraction and placement, this technique completes both steps in one visit. Furthermore, the implant integrates with your natural bone through a process called osseointegration over the following months.
The procedure works by utilizing the fresh extraction socket as the foundation for the new implant. Specifically, I place the titanium post into the bone while the surrounding tissue is still fresh and viable. As a result, this approach preserves your natural bone structure and gum architecture. Most importantly, you avoid the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth extraction.
What makes immediate implants particularly beneficial is the ability to attach a temporary crown the same day. Moreover, this means you never experience the embarrassment of a visible gap in your smile. Additionally, the immediate loading helps maintain proper spacing and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting. Patients in Beverly Hills and West Hollywood appreciate leaving our office with a complete, functional smile.
How Immediate Implants Differ From Traditional Dental Implants
Traditional dental implant procedures require multiple appointments spread over several months. First, the damaged tooth is extracted and the site heals for three to six months. Subsequently, the implant is placed and must integrate with bone for another three to four months. In contrast, immediate implants consolidate the extraction and placement into a single surgical appointment.
The healing timeline represents another significant difference between these approaches. With conventional implants, patients often wait six to nine months before receiving their final restoration. Conversely, immediate implants allow for temporary crown placement on the same day. Furthermore, the final permanent crown is typically ready within three to six months. Patients throughout Century City and Brentwood value this reduced treatment time.
Immediate implants also provide superior aesthetic outcomes compared to delayed placement. Specifically, placing the implant right away preserves the natural gum contours around your tooth. As a result, your final restoration looks more natural and lifelike. Additionally, this technique prevents the bone resorption that commonly occurs after extraction. However, not every case qualifies for immediate placement, which is why a thorough evaluation is essential.
The Immediate Dental Implant Treatment Process
Your immediate implant journey begins with a comprehensive examination and advanced 3D imaging at our Beverly Hills office. During this consultation, I’ll assess your bone density, oral health, and the condition of the tooth requiring replacement. Subsequently, I’ll use cone beam CT scans to precisely plan the implant placement. This technology allows me to determine the optimal angle, depth, and position before surgery begins.
On the day of your procedure, I’ll first carefully extract the damaged tooth while preserving as much surrounding bone as possible. Immediately afterward, I’ll place the titanium implant into the fresh extraction socket with meticulous precision. Furthermore, I’ll secure a temporary crown to the implant so you leave our office with a complete smile. The entire appointment typically takes between one to two hours, depending on case complexity.
Following the surgery, your implant will gradually fuse with your jawbone over the next three to six months. During this healing period, you’ll visit our office periodically for progress monitoring. Moreover, I’ll ensure your temporary crown functions properly and your gums heal beautifully. Once osseointegration is complete, I’ll replace the temporary crown with your custom-designed permanent restoration. Patients from Santa Monica to Downtown LA consistently report minimal discomfort and exceptional results.
Immediate Dental Implant Cost and Financing Solutions
The investment in immediate dental implants reflects the advanced technology, expertise, and materials required for this sophisticated procedure. Generally, costs include the surgical placement, temporary crown, healing abutment, and final permanent restoration. However, the exact price depends on factors like bone quality, location in your mouth, and any additional procedures needed.
At Smile Angels of Beverly Hills, we recognize that dental implants represent both a financial and health investment. Therefore, we offer flexible payment plans that make treatment accessible for patients throughout Los Angeles. Additionally, many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for implants, particularly when replacing teeth due to injury or disease. I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation where we’ll discuss your personalized treatment plan, expected outcomes, and all available financing options.

Frequently Asked Questions About Immediate Dental Implants
Good candidates have adequate bone density, healthy gums, and no active infections at the extraction site. Specifically, the tooth being replaced should not have significant bone loss around its roots. Furthermore, you should be in overall good health without conditions that impair healing. During your consultation at our Beverly Hills office, I’ll perform a thorough evaluation to determine if immediate placement is right for you.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure thanks to modern anesthesia and sedation options. Specifically, I’ll ensure you’re completely numb before beginning, and you won’t feel pain during surgery. Subsequently, any post-operative discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter or prescribed pain medication. Furthermore, most patients report less pain than they anticipated and return to normal activities within a few days.
With proper care and maintenance, immediate dental implants can last 20 years or even a lifetime. However, longevity depends on factors like oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding habits like smoking. Specifically, you should brush and floss around your implant daily just like natural teeth. Additionally, attending routine cleanings at our office helps ensure long-term success
You should follow a soft food diet for the first few weeks after placement to allow proper healing. Consequently, avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy foods that could stress the implant. Furthermore, don’t chew directly on the temporary crown during the initial healing phase. Once your permanent crown is placed and fully integrated, you can eat normally without restrictions.
Immediate dental implants have success rates exceeding 95% when performed by experienced professionals. Specifically, proper case selection and surgical technique are crucial for optimal outcomes. Furthermore, following post-operative instructions significantly improves your chances of successful integration.
