What is an Emergency Dental Implant?
An emergency dental implant is a tooth replacement solution placed shortly after tooth loss, often on the same day. It’s designed to restore both function and appearance without the typical waiting period that comes with a traditional dental implant.
This type of urgent care is usually needed when a tooth is knocked out, fractured beyond repair, or suddenly removed due to decay or infection. Instead of leaving a gap in your smile and waiting months for healing, immediate dental implants allow you to walk out with a new tooth—fast.
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.
At FoX Implant Centre, we offer same-day solutions where you can get implants within 24 hours or less. So, if you’ve had sudden tooth loss, book now to find out if you’re eligible for immediate implant placement.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Not every dental issue needs urgent treatment, but some cases demand immediate attention. Dental emergencies are situations where waiting can lead to more pain, infection, or even periodontal diseases. In these cases, acting quickly can make a huge difference.
Here’s when emergency tooth implants may be needed:
1. Knocked-out or traumatised teeth from accidents or sports injuries
2. Severely cracked or fractured teeth that can’t be repaired
3. Sudden tooth extractions due to infection or decay
4. Failed tooth implants or broken dental restorations
5. Multiple missing teeth that affect chewing, speaking, or appearance
In these cases, missing teeth don’t just affect how you look. They also disrupt your bite and put pressure on nearby teeth. Over time, this can lead to bone loss and gum problems. So, if you’re in pain, struggling to eat, or dealing with tooth loss, don’t hesitate to talk to us and see if you need urgent care.
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.
What if I’ve Had a Failed Implant From Another Clinic?
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.
At FoX Implant Centre, 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.
Sometimes, we can replace the failed implant immediately. In other cases, the site may need time to heal, or we may need to rebuild the bone with grafting before placing a new implant.
Our all-in-house approach allows us to manage the full process under one roof—from diagnostics and tooth removal to bone grafting and reimplantation. We also offer general sedation options to make your treatment as comfortable as possible.
If you’ve experienced implant failure elsewhere, don’t wait. Book your consultation and let our experienced implant team at FoX help you get the result you were originally hoping for.
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 Fast Will It Heal?
Healing time varies depending on the person and the complexity of the procedure. For most patients, the initial healing phase takes about one to two weeks. During this time, it’s important to rest, avoid pressure on the area, and follow our aftercare instructions closely.
Full healing, where the dental implant fuses with the jawbone, can take between three to six months. This process, known as osseointegration, is key to the long-term success of your implant.
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
To support the healing process, we recommend regular cleanings and check-ups at FoX Implant Centre. These visits let us monitor your progress, address any issues early, and guide you through each stage of your recovery.
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.
Are There Any Risks?
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.
How Much Can You Expect to Pay?
The cost of emergency dental implants in Australia can vary depending on several factors. 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
At FoX Implant Centre, we tailor every treatment plan to your needs and budget. We’re transparent about our pricing and walk you through your options during your consultation.
