Teeth-in-a-Day in Victoria, BC
Understanding Teeth-in-a-Day Treatment
Teeth-in-a-Day is designed for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in the upper or lower arch. Unlike traditional implant treatment, this procedure allows a temporary restoration to be attached on the same day your dental implants are placed.
By combining advanced technology with careful treatment planning, Teeth-in-a-Day restores your ability to smile, speak, and enjoy everyday activities while your implants heal and integrate with the jawbone.
How Teeth-in-a-Day Treatment Works
Every Teeth-in-a-Day treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, digital imaging, and detailed planning. A custom surgical guide helps position each implant in the strongest areas of the jaw to provide a stable foundation for your restoration.
On the day of surgery, your implants are placed and a temporary full-arch restoration is attached before you leave our office. After approximately 3-6 months of healing, your permanent restoration is secured to complete your smile.

Are You a Candidate for Teeth-in-a-Day?
Teeth-in-a-Day may be recommended for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth in one dental arch and have enough healthy jawbone to support dental implants. Healthy gums and good overall oral health also contribute to successful treatment outcomes.
During your consultation, we will evaluate your jawbone, bite, gums, and overall oral health to determine whether Teeth-in-a-Day is the right solution. If needed, we will discuss alternative treatments or preparatory procedures to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Teeth-in-a-Day?
Teeth-in-a-Day is a full-arch dental implant treatment that allows eligible patients to receive a temporary set of teeth on the same day implants are placed. After healing is complete, your temporary restoration is replaced with a custom-designed permanent restoration.
Who is a candidate for Teeth-in-a-Day?
Patients missing most or all teeth in one arch with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone may be candidates. During your consultation, we evaluate your oral health, bone density, bite, and medical history to determine whether this treatment is right for you.
How long does Teeth-in-a-Day treatment take?
Implant placement and your temporary restoration are typically completed during one appointment. Your implants then heal and integrate with the jawbone over approximately 3-6 months before your final custom restoration is securely attached.
Is Teeth-in-a-Day better than traditional dentures?
Teeth-in-a-Day provides a stable, implant-supported alternative to removable dentures. Many patients experience improved comfort, stronger chewing ability, greater confidence, and a more natural feel during everyday activities.
Will I need bone grafting?
Some patients require bone grafting when there is not enough healthy jawbone to support implants. We use diagnostic imaging to evaluate your bone structure and determine whether additional treatment is recommended before surgery.
How long do Teeth-in-a-Day implants last?
With proper home care, healthy gums, and regular dental visits, dental implants are designed to provide long-lasting support. Your final restoration may require maintenance or replacement over time due to normal everyday wear.
