Read ReviewsA broken, failing, or missing tooth can affect how you eat, speak, and smile. At Balboa Dentistry in San Diego, Dr. Hussein Dhayni evaluates whether an extraction, dental implant, and natural-looking temporary tooth can be completed in a coordinated same-day visit.
“Same day” does not mean rushing treatment or skipping healing. It means planning ahead so eligible patients can avoid an obvious gap while the implant integrates with the jawbone. Your final crown or bridge is usually completed after healing.
When the socket is healthy and has adequate support, an implant may be placed immediately after the damaged tooth is removed.
A provisional crown, bridge, or removable tooth may preserve your appearance while the implant site or extraction area heals.
Eligible patients may receive an implant-supported temporary bridge so they do not have to wait without teeth during healing.
If infection, bone loss, or bite pressure makes immediate loading less predictable, a staged plan protects the long-term result.
Some patients can. The strongest candidates have adequate jawbone, healthy gums, a stable bite, and no uncontrolled infection at the treatment site. Smoking, teeth grinding, certain health conditions, extensive bone loss, or heavy pressure on the new tooth can change the recommendation.
When immediate placement or loading is not the safest option, Dr. Dhayni can discuss a temporary replacement and a staged implant plan. The goal is not simply to place a tooth quickly—it is to create a result designed for predictable healing, comfortable function, and a natural smile.
Early evaluation can preserve more treatment choices. Call Balboa Dentistry at 858-277-5141 or request an appointment to learn whether same-day tooth replacement is right for you.
Answers to common questions about immediate implants, temporary teeth, candidacy, healing, and cost in San Diego.
In selected cases, a tooth can be removed, an implant placed, and a temporary tooth attached during the same appointment. The implant still needs time to integrate with the jawbone, so the final crown is usually placed after healing.
Candidacy depends on jawbone support, healthy gums, the absence of uncontrolled infection, bite forces, medical history, and the location of the tooth. Dr. Hussein Dhayni uses an examination and imaging to determine whether immediate treatment is appropriate.
You may still be able to leave with a temporary tooth while the area heals or while bone grafting is completed. Balboa Dentistry will explain the safest sequence and compare implant, bridge, and temporary replacement options.
Often, the tooth placed on the day of surgery is a carefully shaped temporary restoration. A final custom crown is typically made after the implant and surrounding tissues have healed.
Some patients may qualify for an immediate temporary bridge or full-arch restoration supported by implants. The number and position of implants, bone quality, and bite stability determine what can be done safely.
Timing varies with the number of teeth, whether an extraction is needed, and the type of temporary restoration. After evaluation, the team provides a personalized treatment sequence and appointment estimate.
Cost depends on the number of teeth, implant and restoration type, imaging, extractions, sedation, and whether grafting is required. Balboa Dentistry provides an itemized estimate and reviews eligible insurance and financing options before treatment.

Implant and Restorative Dentistry
Same-day tooth replacement planning at Balboa Dentistry for eligible patients who need an extraction, immediate implant placement, or a temporary tooth while healing.
Dr. Dhayni evaluates infection, bone support, gum health, anatomy, and bite forces before recommending implant placement at the time of extraction.
Eligible patients may receive a carefully shaped temporary crown, bridge, or removable tooth so they do not have to heal with an obvious gap.
The implant still requires biological healing, and the final custom crown or bridge is generally completed after the implant and tissues are stable.
When same-day implant placement or loading is not predictable, a temporary replacement and staged treatment plan can protect the long-term result.
Balboa Dentistry reviews candidacy, alternatives, timing, expected healing, costs, insurance, and financing before treatment begins.
