Same-day dental implants in Houston
Same-day means something specific here: when your bone and the implant's initial stability allow it, the implant goes in and a temporary tooth goes on in a single visit. The 3D CBCT scan at your consultation shows whether that looks likely; the final call is made during surgery, when we measure how firmly the implant seats. Call (713) 322-7474.
Book a consultationWhat same-day dental implants actually mean
The implant is placed and, if it reaches enough initial stability in the bone, a temporary tooth is attached before you leave, so you do not walk out with a gap. That temporary is designed to look right and speak clearly; it is deliberately not built for hard chewing, because the implant underneath is still fusing with the bone. The final crown goes on after integration, usually a few months later, and that is the tooth built to eat with. One visit for the implant and the temporary, one shorter visit for the final crown.
Who can get a same-day implant, honestly
Healthy gums, enough bone, and no active infection at the site are the entry requirements, and the deciding number is measured during surgery: how firmly the implant seats in your bone. If it reaches the stability the plan calls for, the temporary goes on the same day. If it does not, we protect the implant and stage the tooth a few months later rather than gamble the implant on a deadline.

An implant on the day of your extraction
If a tooth cannot be saved, the most efficient version of same-day is placing the implant into the socket at the same visit as the extraction, when the CBCT scan and the condition of the socket allow it. When they do not and the socket is damaged, a socket-preservation graft placed that same day holds the ridge's shape so the implant can follow on the shortest safe timeline. Either way, nothing about your case waits on a referral: the extraction, the graft and the implant happen in one practice.

A full arch in a day is All-on-4 territory
If the question is a whole row of teeth rather than one or two, same-day works differently: four to six implants support a fixed temporary arch, usually attached the day of surgery when the implants are stable enough. That treatment has its own page, its own planning and its own economics, and it is where we cover the four-versus-six decision.

What same-day implant treatment costs
The fee is the same whether your implant is placed same-day or staged; the calendar does not change the price. What can add to a case is what the case genuinely needs: an extraction, a graft, or sedation, each itemized on the written quote before you commit. For context, a February 2026 Dental Economics survey of 278 practices, 115 of them in Houston, put Houston's median single-implant fee at $3,665 all-in, the lowest of the six major U.S. metros studied, against a national median of $4,000. The same survey found specialist-placed implants ran a lower national median than general-dentist-placed ones, $3,400 versus $4,800. Our fee covers the implant, abutment and crown, placed by our oral surgeons or our periodontist. IV sedation runs $500 to $2,000 per appointment across the U.S. Our sedation fee is toward the top of this range: it's charged per appointment rather than by the hour, because implant and full-arch surgeries run long.
| Treatment | Typical Houston range | What changes the fee |
|---|---|---|
| Single implant (implant, abutment and crown) | $2,500–$6,500 (median $3,665) | Whether you need an extraction, a graft or sedation |
| Bone graft (socket preservation) | $250–$1,200 | Condition of the socket |
| IV sedation, per appointment | $500–$2,000 (U.S. range) | Charged per appointment, not by the hour |
| All-on-4 fixed arch, per arch | $12,999–$30,000 acrylic; $25,000–$40,000+ zirconia | Bridge material, extractions, grafting, sedation |

Why one building matters on a one-day timeline
Same-day treatment only works when nobody has to drive across town between steps. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Dr. Jonathan Rosenstein and Dr. Edmund Watkins, place the implants; our periodontist, Dr. Shirin Farhadian, also places single and multi-tooth implants. Dr. Mohsen Khobyari, General Dentist, who has restored more than 10,000 implants, and Dr. Evan Melamed, General Dentist, handle the tooth that goes on a single implant; a full arch is designed and fitted by Dr. Khobyari, General Dentist, or our prosthodontist, Dr. Nisa Dadjoo. The CBCT scanner is on site, so planning, surgery and the temporary all happen under one roof.

Frequently asked questions
Can a dental implant really be done in one day?
The implant and a temporary tooth, yes, when the implant reaches enough initial stability during surgery. The final crown still comes after the bone has fused to the implant, usually a few months later. Any office promising a permanent finished tooth in one day is describing the temporary.
Can everyone get same-day dental implants?
No. Active infection, soft bone, heavy grinding forces or too little bone can make loading an implant the same day a bad bet. The stability measurement at surgery makes the call, and when same-day is not safe we stage the tooth instead.
How much do same-day dental implants cost in Houston?
A single implant with its abutment and crown is priced the same whether it is placed same-day or staged. Houston's 2026 median for a single implant is $3,665 (Dental Economics survey). What can add to the cost is an extraction, a socket-preservation graft or IV sedation, which is charged per appointment. Everything goes on one written quote before you commit. Call (713) 322-7474 to book a consultation.
Can I eat normally the same day?
Plan on a soft diet while the implant integrates. The same-day temporary is built to look right and speak clearly, not to chew steak; the final crown that follows integration is the one built for normal eating.
Can the implant go in on the same day my tooth is pulled?
Often, yes. When the CBCT scan and the condition of the socket allow it, the implant is placed into the socket at the extraction visit. When they do not and the socket is damaged, a graft placed the same day protects the site so the implant can follow on the shortest safe timeline.
Where can I get same-day dental implants in Houston?
At Omega Dental Specialists, 106 W Gray St in Midtown Houston, between Downtown and the Texas Medical Center. You get a 3D CBCT scan at your implant consultation, and we are open Monday through Saturday. Call (713) 322-7474.
Why is IV sedation charged per appointment?
IV sedation runs $500 to $2,000 per appointment across the U.S. Our sedation fee is toward the top of this range: it's charged per appointment rather than by the hour, because implant and full-arch surgeries run long. Local anesthetic is included in the treatment fee; nitrous oxide and oral sedation are quoted at your CBCT consultation.
