Teeth in a Day
Extraction, implant placement and a fixed set of teeth inside a single appointment. Genuinely possible — and genuinely not appropriate for everyone who wants it.
Screened and introduced free, usually within a few hours. Sunny Isles Beach, Florida and the surrounding corridor.
Indications
Same-day treatment tends to suit you if
Teeth in a Day is immediate loading: implants are placed and a fixed temporary bridge attached to them within hours, rather than after months of healing. The teeth are real and fixed on the day. They are also provisional, and will be replaced by the definitive prosthesis later.
- You have failing teeth and cannot accept a period with visible gaps
- Work or public-facing life makes a removable temporary impractical
- You are already scheduled for full arch extraction
- You have been quoted a two-stage plan and want to know if one stage is realistic
- Your CBCT shows dense bone with good primary stability potential
- You want a single surgical day rather than several
Good candidate if
- Your CBCT shows bone that will hold torque at placement
- No active spreading infection at the implant sites
- You will hold to the soft-food protocol without shortcuts
- You understand that day-one teeth are provisional, not final
No cost, no obligation, no lead list.
The detail
The honest constraint
Extraction, implant placement and a fixed set of teeth inside a single appointment. Genuinely possible — and genuinely not appropriate for everyone who wants it.
Immediate loading works when each implant achieves enough primary stability at placement — measured as insertion torque, typically above 35 Ncm. Soft upper-jaw bone, active infection at the site, heavy grinding or uncontrolled diabetes all reduce that stability. A surgeon who commits to same-day teeth before seeing your scan is promising something they cannot yet know.
The right expectation is this: you leave with a fixed, attractive provisional arch and a strict soft-food protocol for three to six months. During that window the implants integrate. Then the provisional comes off and the definitive prosthesis goes on. Anyone describing the day-one teeth as final is misdescribing the treatment.
The sequence
What actually happens, in order.
Timings vary between practices and cases. The order does not — and a plan that skips a step is worth asking about.
Planning appointment
CBCT, scans and photographs. A provisional arch is designed and printed before surgery day so it is ready to fit.
Surgery
Remaining teeth removed, sites prepared, implants placed. Insertion torque is measured on each — this is the go / no-go decision.
Same-day conversion
The pre-made provisional is fitted, adjusted to the bite and screwed down. Total chair time is typically four to six hours.
Soft-diet healing
Three to six months. The provisional protects the implants while bone integrates, with review visits every few weeks.
Definitive arch
Final scans, then the permanent zirconia or titanium-acrylic prosthesis.
Getting the right hands
Who should be doing your teeth in a day.
This is the variable that decides your result, and it is the one you have least ability to assess from the outside.
Not years in dentistry. How many of these they do in a month, and what the difficult ones looked like.
Anyone can photograph a result on delivery day. We want to see it after it has been used.
CBCT, microscope, scanner, printer — whichever this case genuinely requires, on site rather than referred out.
For anything ceramic, the technician is half the result. A dentist who cannot name theirs is outsourcing blind.
Teeth in a Day FAQ
What people ask us about teeth in a day.
Including the cost question, answered with a real range rather than a request to call.
They overlap. All-on-X describes the final result — a fixed arch on four to six implants. Teeth in a Day describes the timing — that the arch is attached on the day of surgery. Most Teeth in a Day cases are All-on-X cases loaded immediately.
Then the implants are placed and left to heal under a removable temporary for three to six months before a fixed arch is attached. The endpoint is identical; only the interim differs. Being told this at the planning stage is a sign of a careful surgeon.
Liquids and very soft food for the first weeks, then soft food up to the four-to-six-month mark. No crusty bread, ice, nuts or steak. Overloading a provisional is the most common cause of early implant failure in these cases.
Broadly the same as All-on-X — around $22,000 to $35,000 per arch in South Florida, since the same implants and final prosthesis are involved. Immediate loading adds the cost of the pre-made provisional but removes months of temporary denture adjustments.
No. A well-made printed provisional is convincing enough for meetings and photographs from day one. It is less wear-resistant and less precisely fitted than the final, which is why it is not left in place permanently.
