Tooth Replacement in an Hour in Maitland, FL
Tooth replacement in an hour is a streamlined option for qualified patients who need a missing, damaged or failing tooth replaced with a dental implant and temporary restoration in one visit, when the case allows. At Maitland Square Dentistry, Dr. David Hazan offers this treatment for patients who want a quick restoration while planning for long-term function and oral health.
Tooth replacement in one appointment
When clinical conditions allow, tooth removal, implant placement and placement of a temporary tooth can be completed in one appointment. The temporary tooth helps with appearance and basic function while the implant heals and bonds with the jawbone.
Dr. Hazan has about 25 years of experience in implant placement and restoration, has placed more than 3,000 dental implants and has completed more than 5,000 implant restorations.
What Is Tooth Replacement in an Hour?
This is an immediate implant approach that shortens the time between losing a tooth and receiving a temporary replacement. In a suitable case, a damaged tooth that cannot be restored is removed, an implant is placed in the jawbone and a temporary restoration is attached during the same visit.
The implant still needs time to heal and integrate with the bone. Afterward, the temporary tooth is replaced with a custom final restoration. This treatment is not right for everyone, so a detailed evaluation comes first.

The Tooth Replacement in an Hour Process
Treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which Dr. Hazan evaluates the tooth, gums, bone structure and overall oral health to see whether immediate implant placement is appropriate. Advanced digital scanning and imaging, including the TRIOS 3D scanner, may be used to evaluate the area and plan the position of the implant and restoration.
If the existing tooth must be removed, Dr. Hazan may extract it and place the implant in the same appointment when conditions allow. A temporary restoration is then placed so your smile looks complete while the implant heals. Once the implant has integrated, the temporary is replaced with a custom final crown.
Who Is a Candidate for Immediate Tooth Replacement?
Not every patient or tooth is suitable for immediate implant placement. Candidacy depends on:
A thorough examination shows whether immediate tooth replacement or a more traditional implant timeline is the better approach.
- The condition of the tooth being replaced
- The amount and quality of available bone
- The health of the surrounding gums and tissues
- The location of the tooth
- The stability of the implant after placement
- Your bite and functional needs
- Your overall oral and medical health
Replacing a Failing Tooth With a Dental Implant
A tooth that is severely fractured, decayed or infected, or that otherwise cannot be restored, may need to be removed before it is replaced. In addition to his extensive implant experience, Dr. Hazan has performed more than 30,000 tooth extractions, which allows him to plan removal and replacement as one coordinated treatment. When immediate placement is appropriate, combining these steps can shorten the wait between extraction and receiving a temporary tooth.
Advanced Technology for Immediate Implant Treatment
Careful planning matters most when the implant and temporary tooth are placed at the same visit. Our office uses CBCT and three-dimensional imaging, TRIOS digital scanning and digitally guided implant surgery when appropriate. These tools help Dr. Hazan assess the bone, nearby anatomy and the planned implant position before treatment. The specific tools used depend on your case.
Temporary vs. Final Implant Restorations
The tooth placed during immediate treatment is typically temporary, not the final crown. It maintains appearance and function while the implant integrates, and you may receive instructions on eating and caring for the area during healing. After healing, a custom final crown is made to complete the restoration. Dr. Hazan explains the expected timeline and what to expect from both the temporary and final teeth before treatment begins.
Personalized Implant Care
Dr. Hazan often treats complex cases, including second opinions, damaged teeth and failed previous dental work. Our approach emphasizes careful planning, clear communication and personalized care. The team explains whether immediate replacement is appropriate, discusses alternatives when needed and walks you through each stage, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.
Frequently asked questions
What is tooth replacement in an hour?
It is an immediate implant approach that may allow a qualifying patient to receive an implant and a temporary restoration in the same visit, when the case allows.
Can a tooth be removed and replaced with an implant at the same visit?
Sometimes. If your oral health, bone structure and other conditions are suitable, the tooth can be removed and the implant placed in one appointment. Dr. Hazan makes this decision after evaluating the area.
Do I receive my final tooth in one hour?
Usually not. The restoration placed at the first visit is temporary. The implant must heal and integrate before the custom final crown is made.
Who is a candidate for tooth replacement in an hour?
Candidacy depends on available bone, gum health, the condition and location of the tooth, implant stability and overall health. A full evaluation determines whether immediate treatment is appropriate.
What if I have a badly damaged or broken tooth?
A severely damaged or non-restorable tooth may sometimes be removed and replaced with an implant in the same visit. This depends on the condition of the tooth, the bone and the surrounding tissues.
How long does a dental implant take to heal?
Healing time varies with the patient, the implant location, the bone condition and individual response. Dr. Hazan monitors your progress and decides when the implant is ready for the final restoration.
