For suitable cases, the implant is placed at the same appointment as the tooth is removed — fewer procedures, less waiting, and the gum and bone contour preserved. Performed at our Mirdif clinic.
With a conventional implant, a tooth is removed, the site is left to heal for a few months, and only then is the implant placed. An immediate implant streamlines this: the implant is positioned in the same appointment that the tooth is extracted, so the two surgical steps become one.
For the right patient, this means fewer procedures, less overall treatment time, and — because the implant goes straight into the fresh socket — better preservation of the natural gum and bone contour around the site.
At Pure White, our oral surgeon in Mirdif offers immediate implants for cases where the bone is healthy, there’s no active infection, and careful planning confirms it’s the safest choice. It isn’t suitable for everyone, and the assessment is what determines it.
After the tooth is gently removed, the surgeon places the titanium implant directly into the socket while the bone is still in its natural shape. In some cases a temporary tooth can be attached the same day for appearance, though the implant still needs the usual healing period before the final crown is fitted.
The key difference from a standard implant is timing, not the implant itself — you skip the months-long wait between extraction and placement. Precise 3D planning beforehand is essential, which is why these cases are always assessed carefully first.
If the bone is insufficient or infection is present, a conventional staged implant is usually safer — the surgeon will advise.

Immediate implants are faster and gentler on the gum contour, but they depend on the right conditions. Conventional implants suit a broader range of situations. The choice is made case by case.
Planning & 3D imaging Detailed scans confirm whether immediate placement is safe and plan the implant position.
Extraction The tooth is removed gently to preserve the surrounding bone.
Immediate placement The implant is positioned in the socket in the same appointment.
Temporary (if suitable) In some cases a temporary tooth is fitted the same day for appearance.
Healing & final crown The implant integrates over the following months before the permanent crown is fitted.
You may be a candidate if:
The only way to know is an assessment with scans. Where an immediate implant isn’t ideal, we’ll explain why and recommend the safer route.
Aftercare is similar to a standard implant, with extra care early on since extraction and placement happened together:
We’ll give you detailed, case-specific aftercare before you leave.
If you have a tooth that needs removing, ask whether an immediate implant could save you time. A consultation with our oral surgeon in Mirdif — with 3D scans — will confirm whether it’s right for you.
Sometimes. In suitable cases a temporary tooth can be fitted on the day for appearance, but the permanent crown is placed only after the implant has healed.
Once healed, yes — the difference is the timing of placement, not the implant itself. What matters is that the conditions are right at the time of surgery.
No. It depends on healthy bone and no active infection at the site. Where conditions aren’t right, a conventional staged implant is safer.
Costs are similar overall, and combining two stages into one can reduce some appointments. We provide an itemised quote after assessment.
Only a consultation with 3D scans can confirm it. The surgeon assesses the bone and the site before recommending immediate placement.
It’s done under local anaesthetic, with sedation available. Most patients find it comfortable, with mild tenderness afterward.
