Immediate Placement Guide
Immediate Dental Implants in Odisha
In selected cases an implant can be placed at the same appointment as the tooth extraction. This depends on infection, bone support and the stability achieved at the time of surgery.
Clinical assessment • Individual treatment planning • Treatment at CARE Hospital, Bhubaneswar
What is an immediate dental implant?
An immediate dental implant is placed into the socket at the same appointment as the tooth is removed. It is only appropriate when the socket walls, surrounding bone and soft tissues are suitable and sufficient primary stability can be achieved. The decision is often confirmed only during the procedure itself.
Immediate Placement vs Immediate Loading
These two terms are often confused but mean different things.
Main requirement
- Immediate placement
- Intact socket walls and healthy tissues
- Immediate loading
- High primary stability of the implant
Can occur together?
- Immediate placement
- Yes, in selected cases
- Immediate loading
- Yes, but not always advisable
Decided when
- Immediate placement
- At planning and confirmed during surgery
- Immediate loading
- At the time of surgery based on stability
Who May Be Suitable?
- No active acute infection at the extraction site
- Adequate bone around the socket to stabilise the implant
- Healthy gum tissues with good contour
- Good general health and controlled medical conditions
- Non-smoker or willing to stop during healing, where advised
Not always possible
If the socket, bone or tissues are not suitable, delayed placement after healing is safer and gives a more predictable outcome.
How the Procedure Works
- Step 1
Assessment
Examination and imaging to review the tooth, socket and surrounding bone.
- Step 2
Atraumatic extraction
The tooth is removed carefully to preserve the socket walls.
- Step 3
Socket evaluation
The site is cleaned and assessed for infection and bone support.
- Step 4
Implant placement
If conditions allow, the implant is placed and stability checked.
- Step 5
Grafting if needed
Gaps around the implant may be filled with graft material.
- Step 6
Provisional or healing cap
A temporary tooth or healing abutment is fitted as appropriate.
- Step 7
Restoration
The definitive crown is fitted after healing and integration.
Advantages and Risks
Fewer surgical visits
Extraction and implant placement can be combined into one procedure.
Shorter overall timeline
Total treatment time may be reduced compared with delayed placement.
Stability risk
If sufficient stability is not achieved, placement must be delayed.
Aesthetic risk
Gum recession or contour changes can occur and are discussed beforehand.
Immediate placement is a well-recognised approach, but it is a clinical decision rather than a patient preference. Where conditions are unfavourable, the team will recommend healing the site first.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Avoid chewing on the treated area as instructed
- Follow prescribed medication and rinse instructions carefully
- Expect some swelling and tenderness in the first days
- Keep the area clean using the technique demonstrated
- Attend all review appointments so healing can be monitored
How Much Does This Treatment Cost?
Immediate placement cost depends on the implant system, whether grafting is required, whether a temporary tooth is provided and the final restoration chosen. Costs are confirmed after assessment.

Immediate Dental Implants — Frequently Asked Questions
Can an implant be placed on the same day as extraction?
Yes, in selected cases. It requires an intact socket, adequate bone, absence of acute infection and sufficient implant stability at the time of surgery.
Will I get a tooth on the same day too?
Sometimes a temporary tooth can be fitted, but only when the implant achieves enough stability. Otherwise a healing cap is used and the tooth is fitted later.
Is immediate placement safe?
It is a recognised technique with good outcomes in suitable cases. Where conditions are unfavourable, delayed placement is safer and will be recommended.
What if there is infection around the tooth?
Active infection usually means the site must be cleaned and allowed to heal before an implant is placed. This is assessed clinically and radiographically.
Does immediate placement hurt more?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. Post-operative discomfort is comparable to extraction with implant surgery and is managed with prescribed medication.
Is bone grafting needed with immediate implants?
Small gaps between the implant and socket wall are often filled with graft material. Whether this is needed is decided during the procedure.
How soon will the final crown be fitted?
The final restoration follows the required integration period, which varies between patients. Your dentist will explain the expected timeline for your case.
Can I be assessed for this from outside Bhubaneswar?
You can begin with an online consultation from anywhere in Odisha, but immediate placement can only be confirmed after clinical examination at CARE Hospital, Bhubaneswar.
