Same-Day Teeth vs Traditional Implants: Which Is Right for Upper West Side Patients?

When you’re missing teeth, dental implants can restore your smile, improve your oral health, and boost your confidence. At NY Dental – Arman Roksar DDS PLLC, we offer both traditional dental implants and advanced same-day implant options (often called “Teeth-in-a-Day”). But how do you know which treatment is right for you? Let’s break it down.

What Immediate-Load Implants Mean

Immediate-load implants, often referred to as same-day teeth, allow patients to receive a temporary set of teeth on the very same day the implants are placed. Instead of waiting months for the implants to heal before attaching crowns, a provisional bridge or denture is placed immediately.

At NY Dental, our 3D CBCT scanning and guided surgical templates help ensure precision and stability when planning immediate-load implants. This technology allows us to select candidates who can safely benefit from this faster approach.

Pros and Cons of Same-Day vs. Traditional Implants

Same-Day (Immediate-Load Implants)

✅ Get teeth in a single visit

✅ Faster smile transformation

✅ Less disruption to daily life

❌ Not suitable for every patient

❌ Requires excellent bone support

❌ Temporary teeth are not as strong as the final restoration

Traditional Implants

✅ Time-tested method with predictable success rates

✅ Stronger stability after healing period

✅ Permanent crowns match natural teeth seamlessly

❌ Requires multiple visits over several months

❌ Longer wait time before final results

Both approaches are highly effective, but the right choice depends on your bone health, oral hygiene, and treatment goals. That’s why a personalized consultation at our Upper West Side office is so important.

Real Patient Success Stories at NY Dental

At NY Dental, we’ve helped patients from across New York City transform their smiles with both traditional and same-day implants. One of our Upper West Side patients received same-day teeth after years of struggling with loose dentures — walking out with a brand-new smile in just hours.

Another patient chose the traditional implant approach for a single missing tooth, appreciating the added stability and long-term success.

Every case is unique, and our role is to guide you toward the treatment that gives you the best long-term results.
