We tend to have high success rates at same day dental implants. The implants tend to fuse better to the bone, because we’re integrating the healing processes of both the tooth extraction and the dental implant surgery.

Same day dental implants can be done in one day. This decreases appointment visits and healing time. Advantages and disadvantages of this approach.
