Teeth In A Day in Weirsdale
Walking in with failing teeth and walking out the same day with a fixed set of teeth on implants — that is the core of Teeth In A Day. For patients in Weirsdale who have been managing loose teeth, advanced gum disease, or a denture that never quite cooperates, this approach removes the long waiting period that used to sit between extractions and a finished smile. Instead of months without teeth, the implants and a fixed provisional bridge are placed in a single surgical visit.
Teeth In A Day is a full-arch implant treatment. We remove the teeth that cannot be saved, place a set of dental implants into the jawbone, and attach a fixed bridge to those implants during the same appointment. The replacement teeth are anchored, not resting on the gums, so they do not need adhesive and they do not move while you eat or speak. Depending on your bone and bite, this may be done on the upper arch, the lower arch, or both, and it is closely related to the All-on-4 and full-arch implant work we provide.
The reason we can keep this timeline tight is our on-site dental lab. Having lab capability in the building means prosthetics are fabricated and adjusted here rather than shipped out and waited on, which also supports same-day crowns, dentures, and denture repairs for our other patients. For someone driving in from Weirsdale, that difference is practical: fewer trips, less time away from home, and adjustments handled while you are already in the chair.
Most candidates fall into one of a few situations. Some have multiple broken or decayed teeth that have been patched repeatedly and are no longer holding. Others have periodontal disease that has loosened the teeth across an arch. And many are long-term denture wearers who are tired of relines, sore spots, and food restrictions and want something fixed in place. Teeth In A Day is also an option when teeth are failing in stages and you would rather address the whole arch at once than keep treating one tooth at a time.
Candidacy comes down to your bone, your gum health, and your general health. We evaluate the jawbone to confirm there is enough support for implants to be placed and immediately loaded. When there is not, we discuss bone grafting or sinus lift surgery first, which changes the timeline. Our periodontal and surgical services are provided here, and we accept patients without a referral, so you do not need to be sent to us by another dentist to be seen.
What the Process Looks Like
Treatment starts with a consultation, exam, and imaging, along with a conversation about what you want your smile to do and look like — we offer cosmetic smile-design consultations as part of that planning. We review the arch or arches involved, any extractions needed, and whether grafting applies.
- A planning visit with exam, imaging, and a written treatment plan
- Surgery day: extractions, implant placement, and the fixed provisional bridge
- Sedation options including nitrous oxide and oral sedation for comfort
- A healing period while the implants integrate with the bone
- A final, long-term bridge made and fitted once healing is complete
- Ongoing implant maintenance and hygiene visits
Surgery day is the longest appointment. After extractions and implant placement, we fit the provisional bridge so you leave with teeth. You will follow a softer diet during healing to protect the implants while bone integrates around them. Once that integration is confirmed, we move to the final prosthesis, refined for fit, bite, and appearance.
Aftercare and Keeping the Result
Implant-supported teeth still need daily cleaning and regular professional care. We schedule follow-up visits to check the bite, adjust as needed, and monitor the gum tissue around each implant. Our hygienists provide periodontal maintenance and implant maintenance, since healthy gums and bone are what keep a full-arch restoration stable over the years.
If something feels off — a sore spot, a change in your bite, a chipped tooth on the bridge — we want to hear about it rather than have you wait. We offer emergency dental appointments, and our lab lets us handle many repairs quickly instead of sending work away.
