Implant in a Day

Implant in a Day allows a dental implant and a temporary crown to be placed during the same visit, so you leave with a tooth in place while the implant integrates with the bone underneath. It's often considered for a single missing tooth where the surrounding bone is healthy enough to support an implant right away.

How It's Planned

3D CT Imaging — maps bone density and nerve paths so the implant position and angle can be planned before surgery.
Guided Implant Surgery — a surgical guide, built from that scan, helps place the implant at the planned depth and angle.
Piezo Bone Surgery — ultrasonic instruments allow gentle bone shaping when needed during placement.

Who Provides This Care

At 1st Family Dental, implant placement and same-day temporary crowns are handled by clinicians with specific implant training. Dr. Ghassan Abboud, a prosthodontist trained in combined prosthodontics and implants, and Dr. Irbad Chowdhury, an implantologist with a dental implant fellowship, are among the team members equipped for this treatment. Dr. John Hur, a board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon with training in CT-guided implant surgery, is also available for the surgical placement stage when needed.

What to Expect

Consultation & Scan — imaging confirms whether same-day placement is appropriate for your situation.
Placement & Temporary Crown — the implant and a temporary crown are placed in one appointment.
Healing & Final Restoration — the temporary is later replaced once healing is complete.
