Fixed teeth in a day, sometimes referred to as ‘Same-day teeth’ or ‘All-on-4’, is atreatment technique whereby a whole arch of failing or missing teeth is replaced with dental implants in a single visit.  A minimum 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.
The patient benefits 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.
Same-day teeth are a convenient alternative to conventional dentures, which can cause problems with oral function and self-confidence.  Unlike dentures, same-day teeth are fixed and are unlikely to need relining or adjusting over time.
