If your front teeth are missing or need extraction, the first concern that comes to mind is probably "What if the gap shows right away?" Fortunately, if conditions are met, same-day implant (immediate placement) where extraction, placement, and temporary tooth attachment are performed on the same day is possible.
📌 3 Key Takeaways • If the alveolar bone (jaw bone) is sufficient and there is no inflammation, implant placement + temporary tooth connection on the day of extraction is possible. • If immediate placement conditions are met, you can reduce treatment time by 30~50% compared to general delayed placement. • Those with periodontal disease, bone loss, systemic diseases (diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.) may find immediate placement difficult and thorough pre-examination is essential.
Is same-day front tooth implant possible near Deokso Station?
To answer directly, it is possible. However, conditions must be met.
According to public materials from Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, front teeth can be manufactured on the day of surgery when alveolar bone condition is favorable. Additionally, the same material emphasizes that immediate placement is only possible when inflammation or gum disease is not severe and there is sufficient alveolar bone volume. According to related clinical data, when immediate placement conditions are met, the success rate is reported to be 90% or higher, the same level as general implants.
In Namyangju near Deokso Station, dental offices equipped with 3D CT precision diagnostic systems can determine immediate placement feasibility right on the day of visit. However, those with periodontal disease, bone loss, or systemic diseases (diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.) may find immediate placement difficult, so it's good to briefly understand your oral and health status before visiting.
Mini Q&A Q. Can front teeth same-day implants always be done? A. No. Alveolar bone condition, presence of inflammation, and systemic disease must first be confirmed via 3D CT before determining feasibility. Results can vary depending on individual conditions.
What is front tooth same-day implant (immediate placement)? Principle and suitable cases
Immediate placement refers to placing an artificial root (fixture) in the same location immediately after extraction and connecting a temporary tooth. Compared to conventional delayed placement (waiting 3-6 months for gums to heal after extraction before placement), related clinical data report that treatment time can be reduced by 30~50% and alveolar bone resorption can be prevented.
3 Conditions for possible immediate placement
• ① Sufficient remaining alveolar bone — The amount and density of bone to stably secure the artificial root must be ensured even after extraction. • ② No inflammation or gum disease — Placement in acute inflammation or periodontal disease state increases infection risk. • ③ Minimal bone damage during extraction — In the front tooth area, jaw bone is thin, requiring delicate extraction technique. If bone damage occurs, immediate placement conditions may be compromised.
According to related clinical data, the front tooth area particularly requires precise CT analysis of bone density, bone height, and bone width, followed by aesthetic evaluation. This is because not only the amount of bone but also color and shape harmony with surrounding teeth must be designed in advance.
Cases where immediate placement is difficult (Self-check)
| Condition | Immediate Placement Feasibility |
|---|---|
| Extraction due to periodontal disease | ⚠️ Difficult |
| Insufficient bone density (D3·D4 grade) | ⚠️ Difficult |
| Initial fixation strength below 35Ncm | ⚠️ Difficult |
| Acute inflammation state | ⚠️ Difficult |
| Systemic diseases such as diabetes or osteoporosis | ⚠️ Pre-consultation essential |
| Sufficient alveolar bone + no inflammation | ✅ Suitable |
Related clinical data specifies that cases of insufficient bone density or initial fixation strength below 35Ncm are difficult to apply immediate loading (temporary tooth connection), so those fitting the above items must definitely establish a plan after pre-examination.
Digital prime dental clinic 's approach to front tooth same-day implant
The success or failure of same-day implants is determined by pre-extraction design precision. Unlike methods relying only on eyeballing or experience, digital implants combine 3D CT, intraoral scanner, and digital surgical guides to pre-plan placement position, angle, and depth while minimizing error.
Digital vs. conventional implant — Difference in front tooth immediate placement
| Item | Conventional Implant | Digital Implant |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic method | Panoramic X-ray centered | CBCT + intraoral scanner 3D analysis |
| Surgery planning | Based on clinician judgment | Pre-fabricated digital surgical guide |
| Incision range | Incision necessary | Minimal or no incision applicable |
| Aesthetic prosthetic planning | Discussed separately after placement | Pre-designed color and shape harmony with surrounding teeth before placement |
| Abutment selection | Includes metal series | Front teeth: ceramic series to prevent gum discoloration |
According to related clinical data, because front teeth have thin gums, using metal abutments can show discoloration through the gums, making ceramic series abutments more aesthetically favorable. Additionally, health media HealthTips materials explain that CBCT-based digital guided surgery improves surgical predictability by precisely confirming gum bone condition with cone beam CT before application.
Prosthodontics Specialist and Digital prime dental clinic representative Dr. Yusuk Jung leads Digital prime dental clinic in using 3D CT and digital surgical guide systems to consider both precision and aesthetic completion of front tooth immediate placement. Since a prosthodontics specialist establishes consistent planning from diagnosis through prosthetic completion, the flow between implant and prosthetics is not fragmented.
However, even with digital systems, same-day placement may be ruled out depending on alveolar bone and inflammation status. In this case, temporary teeth can be provided first and treatment can be converted to a delayed placement plan to continue without front tooth gaps.
Limitations and scope of application
Same-day implant is not suitable for everyone. Please check the self-assessment items below first.
Pre-same-day implant self-check list
• ① Are you having a tooth extracted due to periodontal disease? → Immediate placement is difficult if inflamed tissue remains. • ② Have you ever heard that your gum bone has receded significantly? → If bone loss is severe, additional bone graft and delayed placement is needed. • ③ Do you have diabetes, osteoporosis, or are taking immunosuppressants? → Applicability varies depending on systemic disease status. • ④ Is the tooth broken or extracted due to trauma? → CT examination must first confirm the degree of alveolar bone damage. • ⑤ Do you currently have acute pain or swelling in the area? → If in acute inflammation, it is safer to schedule placement after stabilization treatment.
According to related clinical data, proceeding forcefully without meeting immediate placement criteria can lead to infection, bone resorption, and additional bone graft requiring revision surgery. Additionally, soft food intake and oral hygiene management during the initial 8-week bone integration period after procedure are known to determine long-term success rates.
Even if you fit the check items, there is no need to be discouraged. If immediate placement is difficult, you can prevent front tooth gaps by first installing temporary teeth while preparing for delayed placement, making treatment planning completely feasible.

Front tooth implant: consultation now is the fastest way to reduce treatment time
The treatment direction suited to your oral condition can be confirmed through consultation. Digital prime dental clinic confirms through 3D CT precision examination and prosthodontics specialist consultation whether same-day immediate placement is possible.
Front teeth have a characteristic where alveolar bone resorption progresses as time passes after extraction. According to related clinical data, if this resorption progresses considerably, additional bone graft may be needed even if immediate placement conditions are met, and delaying consultation and examination can narrow the choice of treatment plans. Conversely, when immediate placement conditions are met, the overall treatment time can be reduced to approximately 3 months or less.
During your visit, through 3D CT imaging and intraoral scanning, you can receive guidance for the entire process of "immediate placement feasibility → if possible, design digital guided surgery → connect temporary teeth same-day" in a single consultation. Immediate placement feasibility varies depending on your oral condition and systemic disease status, so the result is determined after precision examination.
These questions are probably on your mind?
Q1. Can front tooth implants attach temporary teeth on the same day? If conditions are met, extraction, placement, and temporary tooth attachment can be performed on the same day. However, initial fixation strength (35Ncm or above) must be secured for immediate loading to be possible, and since this is confirmed during surgery, it's difficult to predict in advance. Results can vary depending on individual conditions.
Q2. If same-day implant isn't possible, do I have to go around with a missing front tooth? No. Even if immediate placement is difficult, temporary teeth (temporary prosthetics) can be fabricated first so you can live without a front tooth gap. Later, when gum and bone conditions stabilize, a delayed placement schedule is set.
Q3. What happens if front tooth immediate placement fails? If placement was performed without meeting conditions or if bone integration period management was inadequate, infection or bone resorption can occur, and additional bone graft and re-placement may be necessary. To prevent this, pre-examination precision and initial 8-week post-procedure management are important.
Q4. Is same-day implant possible for a broken front tooth due to cavity? If extraction is due to cavity or fracture, it is often more favorable for immediate placement compared to extraction due to periodontal disease. However, CT must first confirm the fracture range and alveolar bone damage degree, and conditions can change if bone damage is extensive.
Q5. What is the difference between digital implant and conventional implant? The biggest difference is precision of pre-surgery design. Digital implants combine CBCT, intraoral scanner, and digital surgical guide to pre-plan placement position, angle, and depth. In areas like front teeth where aesthetics are important, prosthetic form can be pre-designed too, increasing predictability of the final result.
