Fixed Teeth in a Day

Fixed Teeth in a Day

Fixed Teeth in a Day, occasionally referred to as same-day teeth or ‘All-on-4’, is a treatment technique in which a whole arch of failing or missing teeth is replaced with dental implants in a single visit. An average of four dental implants are placed into the top or bottom jaw and a full arch of fixed replacement teeth is attached to the implants on the same day. By doing so in a single day, it means less travel for you and a quicker recovery time.

You'll also benefit from having temporary natural-looking teeth fitted to the implants later that same day (immediate loading), which remain in place while the implants fuse with the jawbone. A durable, definitive set of teeth are then fitted three to six months later, after the healing period. So there's no need to worry, you'll never be left without teeth at any stage of treatment.

Same-day teeth are a convenient alternative to conventional dentures, which can cause problems with self-confidence and can move about in the mouth. Unlike dentures, same-day teeth are fixed and are unlikely to need relining or adjusting over time.
