Teeth-in-a-DaySame-Day Fixed Implants at Stunning Dentistry
- Teeth-in-a-Day means leaving surgery with a complete, fixed provisional smile the same day your implants are placed.
No period with no teeth.
What Teeth-in-a-Day Actually Means
Immediate loading (teeth-in-a-day) means a fixed provisional prosthesis is fabricated and placed the same day as implant surgery - before you even leave the operating room.
The provisional prosthesis is replaced with your definitive zirconia prosthesis after osseointegration (4–6 months) - either on a second trip or coordinated remotely with your Canadian dentist.
Questions about this procedure?
Candidacy Requirements
- Sufficient primary implant stability: insertion torque >30 Ncm (measured at surgery)
- Controlled occlusal forces: no parafunctional habits (bruxism, clenching) without management
- No active oral/systemic infection at time of surgery
- No uncontrolled systemic conditions (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, smoking >20/day requires additional assessment)
- Adequate bone volume for implant placement without excessive grafting
- Realistic patient expectations regarding provisional vs definitive prosthesis differences
- Most All-on-4, All-on-6, and basal implant cases qualify

Timeline Example: 72-Hour Case
- Day 0 (evening): Arrive Delhi, settle into accommodation
- Day 1 (morning): Clinical examination, 3D CBCT imaging, digital impressions, treatment plan confirmed with patient
- Day 1 (afternoon/evening): Provisional prosthesis CAD/design, fabrication begins in our in-house lab (3–4 hour process)
- Day 2: Implant surgery under guided protocol, provisional prosthesis delivered same day, patient leaves with fixed teeth
- Day 3: First post-operative review, wound healing assessment, occlusal adjustments
- Days 4–9: Recovery, soft tissue healing monitoring, dietary progression, discharge planning
- Day 10: Final review, travel clearance, comprehensive home care instructions, departure with fixed teeth

Frequently Asked Questions
Is teeth-in-a-day the same as permanent teeth?
No. Teeth-in-a-day delivers a provisional prosthesis - excellent for form and function during osseointegration. Your definitive zirconia prosthesis (permanent, lifetime) is delivered after 4–6 months once bone-implant bonding is complete. The provisional ensures you never go without teeth.
Can I eat normal food with teeth-in-a-day provisionals?
Yes, but with progression. Days 1–3: soft foods only. Days 4–7: gradually harder foods as comfort allows. After 2–3 weeks: most normal foods. By month 3: full diet. The provisional is fixed and durable - it just requires initial healing respect.
How much does the provisional differ from my final teeth?
The provisional is good quality and looks excellent. However, the definitive zirconia prosthesis is more precisely contoured, offers superior shade matching, and is optimized for long-term wear. Most patients notice improvement when the definitive is delivered - but the provisional already restores 95% of function and appearance.
What if I can't return for the definitive prosthesis?
Many patients choose to have the definitive prosthesis fabricated at Stunning Dentistry while osseointegrating, then mailed to Canada and fitted by their local dentist with our remote supervision. We make it flexible - your case manager helps arrange the best option.
