Can you really get teeth in a day?

Yes, for a full arch. Dr. Broyde removes the failing teeth, places the implants and attaches a fixed temporary bridge in one visit at our Calgary clinic, so you never spend months without teeth. The final bridge is fitted after the implants have healed, usually three to six months later.

How much are teeth in a day?

At SmileNow in Calgary a fixed full-arch bridge on implants is a flat $25,000 per arch in zirconia or $22,000 with an acrylic bridge, confirmed in writing after a free 3D scan. IV sedation is quoted separately. In-house and Beautifi financing are available, subject to approval.

Is teeth in a day the same as All-on-4 or All-on-6?

Teeth in a day describes the timing. All-on-4, All-on-6 and 3-on-6 describe how the arch is anchored, on four or six implants. Your teeth in a day are delivered with one of those layouts, and the consultation decides which suits your bone and budget.

How long do same-day teeth last?

The titanium implants are designed to last for decades with proper care once they fuse with the jawbone. The bridge on top, especially a zirconia one, is durable and may need adjustment or replacement after many years of normal wear.

Is the same-day dental implant procedure painful?

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is. The procedure is performed under IV sedation, so you sleep through it. Afterward, any soreness is usually mild, managed with prescribed medication, and most people return to their normal routine within about 48 hours.

Who is a candidate for teeth in a day?

Most people missing most of their teeth, struggling with loose dentures, or facing extraction of failing teeth are candidates, provided they are in reasonable general health. Low bone is usually workable with angled, pterygoid or zygomatic implants. A free 3D CBCT scan confirms whether teeth in a day is right for you or whether bone grafting comes first.

Is the bridge I leave with the final one?

No. The same-day bridge is a fixed temporary. It is strong enough to eat soft food and look like your teeth, but it is designed to be replaced once the implants have healed. The final zirconia or acrylic bridge is made in our lab and fitted at a later visit.

Q: Is teeth in a day worth it?

If you are losing a whole arch, the alternative is months with a denture or with no teeth while implants heal. Teeth in a day costs the same as a conventional full-arch course at SmileNow and saves most of the visits. It is not worth it for a single missing tooth, which is a different, smaller procedure.

What Teeth in a Day Actually Means

Teeth in a day is not a brand or a separate procedure. It is the timing. Failing teeth come out, four to six implants go in, and a fixed temporary bridge is attached to them before you go home. You eat soft food and smile with that bridge for three to six months while the implants fuse with the bone. Then it is swapped for the final bridge, made in the laboratory inside our clinic. The implant layout is All-on-4, All-on-6 or 3-on-6. Teeth in a day is what the day of surgery feels like.

One Arch or Both

Upper, lower, or both jaws in the same visit. It is built for people losing a whole arch, not for a single tooth.

A Fixed Bridge, Not a Denture

The teeth are screwed onto the implants. They do not come out at night and there is no adhesive.

Temporary First, Final Later

The same-day bridge is a strong temporary. The final bridge is fitted at a second visit after healing. Anyone who tells you otherwise is skipping a step.

Made in the Building

Both bridges are designed and milled in our own lab, so the technician who adjusts your bridge on surgery day is down the hall, not across the country.

Your Surgery Day, Start to Finish

Most patients are in the chair by mid-morning and home by late afternoon. Here is what fills the hours in between.

1

Before the Day: Scan and Plan

At your free consultation we take a 3D CBCT scan and digital impressions. The lab designs your bridge and the implant positions before you ever sit down for surgery.

2

Morning: Sedation, Extractions, Implants

Under IV sedation, Dr. Broyde removes the failing teeth and places four to six implants following the plan. You are asleep for the part people worry about.

3

Midday: The Lab Fits Your Bridge

While you rest, the technicians in the building adjust the temporary bridge to the implants exactly as they were placed. Then it is screwed in and your bite is checked.

4

Afternoon: Home With Fixed Teeth

You leave with a driver and a full set of fixed teeth. Review visits follow during healing, and the final bridge is fitted after three to six months.

Watch: The Digital Process Behind Teeth in a Day

The Science Behind Same-Day Success

Advanced technology and proven techniques make it possible to extract teeth, place implants, and attach new teeth all in one appointment.

1

Advanced 3D Planning

Using modern cone beam CT technology, we create a detailed 3D model of your jaw, teeth, and surrounding structures. This allows us to plan the exact placement of your implants with millimeter precision.

Guided Surgery

Computer-guided surgical templates ensure implants are placed exactly as planned. This minimally invasive approach reduces surgery time, discomfort, and healing time while maximizing precision.

Is Teeth in a Day Worth It?

For most people replacing a whole arch, yes. Here is what you gain, and what you accept.

Teeth the Same Day

Leave with new teeth the day your implants go in, instead of spending months without teeth.

One Surgery Day

Most patients need only one surgical appointment. Your final teeth are fitted after 3-6 months of healing.

Immediate Confidence

Never go without teeth. Maintain your appearance and confidence throughout the entire process.

Less Discomfort

Guided surgery usually means smaller incisions and an easier first week than people expect.

Fewer Visits

One surgical day instead of six to ten appointments spread over a year, so less time off work and less travel if you are coming from outside Calgary.

What You Accept

Soft food for the first weeks, a temporary bridge for three to six months, and a second fitting for the final teeth. That is the trade for not spending a year without teeth.

Can My Teeth Be Fixed in One Day?

Usually, if the problem is a whole arch. Not always, and the scan decides, not the sales pitch.

Who It Suits

Missing Multiple Teeth

Patients missing several teeth or entire arches who want immediate restoration.

Failing Teeth

Those with severely damaged or decayed teeth that need extraction.

Denture Wearers

Patients tired of loose, uncomfortable dentures who want a permanent solution.

Good General Health

Uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking or some medications can rule out same-day loading. Low bone usually does not: pterygoid or zygomatic implants can anchor the bridge the same day.
