With advanced 3D imaging, guided implant placement, and years of experience restoring smiles in Anderson, we’re able to place an implant and a temporary tooth on the same day. You leave our office looking and feeling like yourself again.

Why Patients Love Same-Day Implants

Same-day implants are designed for people who want a dependable, long-lasting tooth replacement without the long waiting periods of traditional implants. They offer:

• A complete smile the same day as your procedure
• Strong, stable support from your implant from the start
• Fewer appointments and a shorter treatment timeline
• A natural look and feel that blends with your real teeth

You get the confidence of a full smile while your implant heals beneath the surface.

What Makes Cornerstone Dentistry Different

Choosing the right dental team matters just as much as choosing the right treatment. Our implant approach is built around accuracy, comfort, and predictable results.

At Cornerstone Dentistry, you’ll benefit from:

Advanced diagnostics
Cone Beam 3D imaging helps us evaluate jawbone health, nerve positioning, and implant placement with remarkable precision.

Guided implant technology
Computer-guided placement ensures your implant is positioned exactly where it needs to be for long-term success.

Digital impressions and custom restorations
Your temporary and final teeth are designed with your bite, smile, and comfort in mind.

Experienced hands
Dr. Dale Hardy & Dr. Andrew Wilson have been restoring implants since 1999 and have completed hundreds of implant cases for patients throughout Anderson, Belton, and the surrounding community.

You’re not getting a generic procedure. You’re getting a personalized treatment plan based on your goals, oral health, and long-term function.

What to Expect During Your Same-Day Appointment

Everything about this visit is designed to make the experience smooth and predictable.

1. Comprehensive 3D Evaluation

We start with a digital scan so we can assess your bone quality, gum health, and the exact location for your implant.

2. Personalized Treatment Planning

We review your images together, talk about your goals, and walk you through your treatment plan and expected timeline.

3. Implant Placement

Using guided technology, the implant is placed gently and accurately. Most patients say the experience is easier than they expected.

4. Same-Day Temporary Tooth

Before you leave, we place a natural-looking temporary tooth so your smile stays complete throughout the healing process.

5. Final Restoration

After your implant has integrated with the bone, you’ll return for a custom-crafted permanent crown designed just for you.

Are Same-Day Implants Right for You?

Most patients qualify for same-day implants, especially if they want to replace a cracked, broken, or missing tooth quickly.

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have healthy gums
• Have stable bone support
• Want an immediate tooth replacement
• Prefer fewer appointments and a faster process

If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for an implant, don’t worry — we offer additional solutions that may still make you a candidate.

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. Discomfort is usually minimal and easily managed with over-the-counter medication.

We give you clear aftercare instructions based on your specific case, including how to brush, what to avoid eating, and how to protect your implant as it heals. Our team is always here if you have questions during recovery.
