How Same-Day Implant Treatment Works

At Monterey Peninsula Dental Implant Center, we specialize in same-day full arch dental implants supported by computer-guided surgery for greater comfort, precision, and long-term success.

What Is Teeth in a Day?

A Faster Path to a Brand-New Smile

Teeth in a Day allows us to extract teeth (if needed), place dental implants, and deliver a full arch of fixed teeth — all in one appointment. You’ll leave with a beautiful temporary smile while your implants begin healing.

This streamlined approach eliminates the long delays of traditional treatments and restores both your function and confidence in record time — without sacrificing safety or results.

What Is Immediate Load?

Your New Teeth Attached the Same Day

This procedure uses a technique called Immediate Load, which means your implants are strong enough on the day of surgery to support a temporary set of fixed teeth. These teeth look and feel great — allowing you to smile, eat soft foods, and return to daily life right away.

Your final prosthesis — custom-designed and crafted for long-term durability — will be placed after your implants fully fuse with your jawbone, typically within 3 to 6 months.

So while your smile transformation starts on day one, the process includes essential follow-up visits to complete and fine-tune your final results.

The Smile Process: From Consultation to Completion

Step 1:

Personalized Consultation

We begin with a full evaluation, including digital imaging, 3D scans, and a conversation about your goals. Dr. DeQuiroz will determine if you’re a candidate for same-day implants and design a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Step 2:

Guided Implant Placement

On surgery day, we use computer-guided technology to place your implants with exceptional accuracy — often without incisions or sutures. This minimizes discomfort, bleeding, and recovery time.
Step 3:

Temporary Smile Same Day

You’ll receive a fixed, functional temporary set of teeth immediately after surgery. These are custom-designed to give you full function and aesthetics while your bone heals.
Step 4:

Final Restoration

After healing and osseointegration, you’ll return for your final full arch prosthesis — crafted in our in-house lab for optimal beauty, durability, and fit.

Why Guided Surgery Matters

Using advanced systems like DIONAVI, we’re able to plan and place implants with sub-millimeter precision. The result? Less trauma, faster healing, and more predictable outcomes.
