Can implants be done in one day?

Immediate-load implant protocols depend on two things happening in parallel: the surgeon placing implants with adequate primary stability, and the lab delivering a screw-retained provisional that fits the same day. When those two workflows are not coordinated, the patient waits in the chair while the provisional is fabricated or remade. That lost time is real cost for the practice. A milling workflow with same-day output capacity is not optional on these cases.

For oral surgeons and prosthodontists running All-on-4 or All-on-X cases, the digital chain matters start-to-finish. Intraoral or CBCT scan data goes to the lab, the CAD team designs the provisional arch, and the milled PMMA or zirconia provisional ships or is ready for pickup before the patient is out of the chair. Dani Dental supports this chain with a direct technician contact on every case, not a ticket queue, so plan changes mid-surgery can be handled in minutes.

Full-arch same-day cases are also where remake rates bite hardest. A provisional that does not seat correctly on day one either delays the patient or forces an emergency remake under pressure. Documented fit accuracy from the milling stage, not just CAD accuracy, is what separates a reliable same-day lab partner from one that works fine on standard turnaround cases but fails under surgical-day pressure.
