What you can expect:
- Restore your smile and function quickly, often within 24 hours (where suitable)
- Avoid long waiting periods typical of traditional implants
- Single-visit procedures with temporary crowns for immediate aesthetics
- Comprehensive care from consultation to final restoration, all in one place
What is an Emergency Dental Implant?
Emergency dental implants are placed shortly after tooth loss, often on the same day. They’re designed to restore both function and appearance without a lengthy delay.
Unlike a traditional dental implant, which may require several appointments, bone grafting and months of healing, an emergency option is streamlined. If you’re a suitable candidate, we can place the implant and attach a temporary crown right away. This reduces treatment time and helps prevent complications like bone loss.
When is an emergency dental implant needed?
- Accidental trauma or sports injuries
- Tooth fractured beyond repair
- Sudden extraction due to infection or decay
- Failed implants or broken dental work
Am I a candidate for same-day implants?
Not everyone is suitable. During your initial consultation, we evaluate your oral health and jawbone structure to see if immediate implant placement is possible.
You may be eligible if:
- You recently lost or had a tooth extracted
- Your gums are healthy and free from infection
- You have good bone density and volume
- You don’t require sinus lifts or bone grafts
What if you’re not suitable?
- Bone grafting or healing may be needed first
- Your dentist will provide a staged treatment plan for the best results
Can You Get a Dental Implant on the Same Day?
Yes, in many cases, you can get a dental implant on the same day as your tooth removal. Same-day implants can be placed immediately after extraction, with a temporary crown fitted soon after. This approach works well for people who have healthy gums, good bone density, and no signs of active infection.
Same-day implants are ideal for:
- A single tooth that’s freshly extracted or already missing
- Patients with stable bone who don’t need bone grafting
- Full mouth dental implants, where multiple implants are placed strategically
- Cases where the sinus area isn’t involved
The key benefit of this approach is speed. You walk in with a problem and leave with a new tooth. There’s no need to wear removable dentures or wait months for healing.
However, not everyone is suitable for same-day implants. If you’ve had bone loss, gum disease, or need bone grafting, we may need to delay placement until your jaw is strong enough to support an implant. In these cases, we’ll guide you through a staged treatment plan that ensures the best long-term outcome.
Same-day implants also aren’t recommended if the sinus area is too close or if there’s not enough room for a stable implant. That’s why we always carry out detailed 3D X-rays and assessments first.
At FoX Implant Centre, our in-house team will assess your suitability and explain the best option—whether that’s a single implant, dental bridge, or a full arch solution. Either way, we’ll work to give you a safe, functional, and long-lasting result.
Assessing Your Candidacy for Emergency Dental Implants
As mentioned, emergency dental implants are not for everyone. We assess each person carefully to determine the safest and most effective approach. During your initial consultation, we evaluate your oral health and jawbone structure to see if immediate implant placement is possible.
You may be a good candidate for dental implants if:
- You have healthy gums and no active gum disease
- Your jawbone has sufficient volume and bone density
- You’re in overall good oral health with no signs of severe infection
- The surrounding teeth and tissues are stable
- The missing tooth area allows for strong implant anchorage
- You’ve just had a tooth removed or lost a natural tooth recently
In some cases, we may recommend a different approach if the jawbone is too soft or if an infection is present. We may also delay treatment to allow for healing or prepare the site with bone grafting first.
At FoX Implant Centre, our priority is to protect your long-term oral health. We never rush the process if it risks implant failure. That’s why we perform a full check-up, take 3D scans, and discuss your goals before deciding on the next steps.

Emergency Implant and Same-Day Tooth Replacement at FoX
At FoX Implant Centre, our same-day tooth replacement service is built around speed, comfort, and precision. We are the only dental practice in Australia that provides end-to-end dental implant care entirely under one roof.
That means from your initial consultation to immediate implant placement and fitting your final prosthesis, you won’t need to visit multiple clinics. There are no delays between appointments, no external referrals, and no need to coordinate between providers. Everything happens in-house.
Our emergency dentist will begin by assessing your condition and confirming your suitability. We use advanced imaging and dentistry techniques to map out the treatment. Once ready, we carry out the extraction if needed, then place the implant and abutment in a single visit. A temporary crown is then fitted to give you function and aesthetics straight away.
All dental implant procedures at FoX are performed in a surgical environment with sedation available for comfort. Because we also mill and customise your prosthesis on-site, your final teeth are tailored with unmatched precision—and ready faster.
This integrated approach doesn’t just save time. It also improves the outcome by giving our team full control of each step. With no outsourcing, we’re able to monitor healing closely and adjust your care plan as needed.
How long does healing take after same-day implant placement?
Healing time varies depending on the person and the complexity of the procedure. Our team will give you a personalised care plan and explain what to expect at every step. If you ever have concerns between visits, we’re just a phone call away.
| Stage | Duration | What to expect |
| Initial healing | 1–2 weeks | Rest, avoid pressure, follow care instructions |
| Osseointegration (bone fusion) | 3–6 months | Implant integrates with jawbone |
Factors that can affect healing time include:
- The condition of your oral health before the procedure
- How well you follow post-operative instructions
- Your commitment to regular dental appointments and check-ups
- Your daily oral hygiene habits
What are the risks of emergency implants?
Like all dental procedures, emergency implants carry some risks. While we take every measure to reduce complications, it’s important to understand what could happen.
The most significant concern is implant failure. This can occur if the implant doesn’t properly fuse with the jawbone or becomes loose over time. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, or placing pressure on the implant too early can all contribute to failure.
Other risks include:
- Infection at the implant site
- Nerve damage, causing numbness or tingling
- Sinus issues (for implants placed in the upper jaw)
- Inflammation or irritation around the gums
At FoX Implant Centre, we reduce these risks through detailed planning, precision placement, and thorough aftercare. We also monitor healing closely and schedule regular check-ups to catch any issues early.
Cost and payment options:
Dental implants are a long-term solution, but we understand that the upfront costs can be a challenge. That’s why we offer a range of financing options that make treatment more accessible without compromising care.
How much can you expect to pay for emergency dental implants?
It can vary depending on several factors, but on average, you can expect to pay between $4,000 and $7,000 per implant. This includes the consultation, implant placement, abutment and temporary crown.
Key factors that affect cost include:
- The type of implant (single implant, implant-supported bridge or dentures, or full mouth restorations)
- The need for additional dental services like bone grafting or sinus lifts
- The complexity of the case and existing oral health conditions
- Whether dentures or existing dental work need to be removed or replaced

FAQ
A failed dental implant can cause discomfort, infection or even further tooth and bone loss if left untreated. That’s why it’s considered a dental emergency and needs prompt dental care. We see patients who’ve had implants fail at other clinics. Whether the issue is poor placement, infection or complications during healing, we can step in to help. Our team will assess what went wrong, identify any damage to the jawbone or surrounding tissue and create a tailored plan to restore your smile.
If you’ve lost a tooth suddenly, contact a qualified dental implant specialist promptly. A thorough examination and imaging will determine if same-day implants are suitable. Early assessment helps plan the safest and most effective treatment for your individual needs.
Implants can sometimes be placed immediately after tooth extraction, often on the same day. However, this depends on your bone health, absence of infection and overall oral condition. Your dentist will assess these factors before proceeding.
Same day dental implants are designed as a long-term tooth replacement solution. Temporary crowns may be placed on the same day to restore function and appearance, with permanent restorations fitted after healing is complete to support lasting comfort, strength and natural aesthetics.
Same day dental implant procedures typically take one to two hours, though this can vary based on the number of implants placed and the complexity of your individual case. During your consultation, the team will explain the process and expected timeline.
Using your superannuation for dental implants may be possible under strict conditions, like financial hardship. It’s best to check with your super fund provider or financial advisor to understand eligibility and the application process. Costs can vary based on several factors, and we are committed to maintaining transparency throughout your treatment journey.
Local anaesthesia is used to keep you comfortable during implant placement. Some mild discomfort or swelling may occur after treatment, but pain management strategies will be provided to help you recover comfortably.
Initial healing from a dental implant procedure usually takes one to two weeks. However, full osseointegration (the process where the implant securely fuses with the jawbone) typically requires three to six months, ensuring a stable and durable foundation for long-lasting results.
Sedation options may include local anaesthesia, conscious sedation or general anaesthesia. Your dentist will carefully assess your overall health and individual comfort needs to recommend the safest and most appropriate method, helping you feel calm and at ease throughout your dental implant procedure.
After your implant is placed, you may receive a temporary crown that helps with basic speaking and eating. However, your dentist will recommend sticking to soft foods and avoiding putting pressure on the implant site during the initial healing period to ensure successful recovery.
Emergency implants provide a fixed, natural-feeling replacement that preserves jawbone health. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants don’t rely on neighbouring teeth for support, offering better stability, function and comfort. Whether it’s a single tooth replacement or a full mouth implant, dental implants deliver a long-lasting, secure solution tailored to your needs.
