Free Implant Consultation

Board-certified prosthodontist. Fully digital 3D workflow. Same-day teeth in many cases.

For patients who’ve lost most or all of their teeth, the phrase “teeth in a day” can sound too good to be true. In reality, it describes a precise, digitally planned surgical workflow — not a shortcut. Here’s exactly what happens between your consultation and walking out with a fixed set of teeth.

1. The 3D Scan and Digital Plan

Every case starts with a full CBCT scan and photogrammetry capture. This lets us map your jawbone density, nerve position, and bite in three dimensions before a single incision is made — so the implant positions are planned, not improvised.

2. Implant Placement

“The goal isn’t just speed — it’s finishing surgery with a result that was already proven on screen before we ever picked up a handpiece.”

3. Same-Day Temporary Bridge

In most cases, a fixed temporary bridge is attached to the implants the same day, giving you function and a full smile immediately while the implants integrate with the bone over the following months.

  • Soft-food diet for the first 8–10 weeks
  • Follow-up visits to monitor healing
  • Final zirconia arch placed once integration is confirmed

4. The Final Zirconia Arch

After healing, the temporary bridge is replaced with a custom-milled zirconia arch — built for long-term strength and a natural appearance that matches your facial structure.
