Who teeth in a day is built for
It's less about speed for its own sake and more about never having to go without teeth during treatment.
You can't spend months with missing teeth.Work, family photos, a wedding coming up. Everyday life doesn't pause for healing.
Your bone can hold implants steady right away.Same day teeth only work if the implants are firmly locked in at placement. We check this first.
You're replacing a full arch or several front teeth.That's where going without teeth would hit hardest.
How it plays out
Same day temporary teeth, then permanent teeth once you've healed.
-
Consult and imaging
We confirm your bone density and health history support loading implants on day one.
-
Surgery day
Any failing teeth come out, implants go in and your temporary teeth are attached before you go home.
-
Healing
A few months on the temporary set with a soft diet and follow up visits to check on things.
-
Final teeth
Your permanent set is made and fitted. Stronger, better looking and adjusted to your bite.
Read this before you book
Plenty of ads oversell this one, so here's the straight version.
Same day means temporary teeth the same day. Your final teeth come after a few months of healing. Anyone promising permanent teeth in a single day is skipping a step.
Not everyone qualifies. If implants aren't stable enough when placed, loading them right away risks failure. Then you'd heal first and get teeth after.
Surgery day is long. For a full arch it can take several hours, which is why a lot of patients pair it with sedation.
Teeth in a day questions
Are teeth in a day permanent?
The implants are. The teeth you leave with that day are a temporary set. Your final teeth go in after the implants finish healing, usually a few months later.
How do I know if I qualify for teeth in a day?
It depends on bone density, gum health and your medical history. Imaging at the consult shows whether implants will be stable enough to hold teeth right away.
How long is the appointment on surgery day?
It varies with how many teeth and implants are involved. A full arch can run several hours. You'll get a time estimate with your plan.
Can I go back to work the next day?
Some people do, but many take a couple of days off to rest, especially after a full arch or sedation. Plan for swelling and a soft diet either way.
