    Implants placed

Same-day dental implants replace a full arch of teeth in a single visit: extractions, six implants, and a fixed provisional arch are all completed in one morning under IV sedation, and you walk out with teeth. At 5D Smiles in Downey, CA, the final zirconia arch is delivered about 3–4 months later once the implants integrate. Full-arch All-on-6 is all-inclusive from $20,000 per arch ($40,000 for both), placed personally by UCLA-trained Dr. Henry Qiu using the Vampire Implants™ Protocol. For a single missing tooth, the crown is placed after the implant integrates — not the same day.

What 'same day' actually means

Same-day is for full arches. We'll tell you honestly if it isn't yours.

When you're replacing a whole arch, six implants together are stable enough on day one to carry a fixed provisional arch — that's immediate load, and it's a real same-day result. You leave with teeth that are screwed to the implants, not floating dentures. The permanent zirconia arch comes at 3–4 months, after the bone fully integrates.

For a single missing tooth, it's different — and we won't pretend otherwise. A single implant needs several weeks to integrate before the crown is attached, so a single-tooth implant is usually not literally same-day. The dramatic “walk in, walk out smiling” transformation is a full-arch story. If you're after the closest sibling guide, see teeth in a day — same procedure, walked through surgery day by surgery day. Dr. Qiu maps the right path for you at the $95 consultation, with a 3D CBCT scan and exact pricing in writing.

Why six implants make same-day possible

Loading an arch the day it's placed only works if the implants are stable enough to share the bite right away. Six implants distribute chewing forces across more anchor points than four, which keeps every implant under its safe micro-motion threshold while the bone heals around it. That mechanical headroom is what lets Dr. Qiu screw in a fixed arch the same day — confidently, and within documented immediate-load survival ranges. It's also why our standard full-arch protocol is All-on-6, not four.

Vampire Implants™ Protocol · Invented by Dr. Henry Qiu

Most implant failures are because of poor healing.

I built the Vampire Implants™ Protocol by combining Dr. Ogawa's UCLA UV-activation research with platelet-rich plasma into one protocol. That's why diabetics, smokers, and elderly patients heal like everyone else here.

Surgery day

Your same-day timeline: about four hours per arch.

One morning, start to finish, under IV sedation. Most patients sleep through the surgery and leave with a fixed arch the same afternoon.

  1. 18:00 AM — Arrive, final 3D CBCT scan confirms the plan, IV sedation started by a licensed provider
  2. 29:30 AM — Failing teeth removed atraumatically and the ridge shaped for ideal implant angles
  3. 311:30 AM — Six implants placed, each bathed in your own platelet-rich plasma (Vampire Implants™ Protocol)
  4. 41:30 PM — Fixed provisional arch screwed onto the implants, bite verified and locked
  5. 53:30 PM — Discharged with a caregiver, post-op kit, and 24/7 access to Dr. Qiu — soft dinner that night

Doing both arches in one day takes roughly twice as long but is the same flow. Curious about the months that follow surgery day? The full dental implant timeline and the step-by-step implant procedure walk through integration and the final-arch delivery.

What the research says about same-day implants

“Same-day teeth are real — but only when the biology cooperates. I load an arch the day I place it when six implants lock in with enough stability to share the bite. If a case doesn't have that, I stage it and tell the patient why. Honest case selection is the whole game; it's what keeps a same-day arch lasting as long as a delayed one.”
— Dr. Henry Qiu, DDS · UCLA-trained · 300+ five-star reviews

The evidence supports same-day done right. The American Dental Association cites a 90–95% implant success rate over 10 years when placement protocols are followed. Multiple immediate-loading implant studies on PubMed report that same-day (immediate-load) full-arch restorations achieve survival comparable to conventional delayed loading when case selection and primary stability are sound — which is exactly why Dr. Qiu verifies stability before any arch is loaded.

Frequently asked

Same-day dental implants: common questions

  • For a full arch, yes. In a single morning we remove failing teeth, place six implants, and screw in a fixed provisional arch — you walk out with teeth the same day. The permanent zirconia arch is delivered about 3–4 months later, once the implants fully integrate with bone. The same-day arch is functional and good-looking; it is simply not the forever arch.
