Restore Your Beautiful Smile in One Day with Our Implant Dentist!
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement due to their versatility, longevity, health benefits, and functionality. Unfortunately, placing dental implants takes months of healing, which may involve wearing a less custom, temporary restoration or just going toothless. Fortunately, a new method for implant placement allows you to get your custom restoration the same day as your implants.

What Are Same-Day Dental Implants?
Same-day dental implants, also known as immediate-load dental implants or Teeth-in-a-Day, are a modern solution for replacing missing teeth that allows for the placement of dental implants and artificial teeth in a single appointment. Traditional dental implant procedures typically involve multiple appointments spread over several months, with a healing period required between implant placement and the attachment of the artificial teeth.
This economical implant placement method uses a minimal amount of sturdy implants, usually no more than four to six, and a denture restoration to replace every tooth in an arch. The trick is the specially designed load-bearing implants, which can adjust to the weight and pressure of the restoration immediately. You’ll walk out of our Sayville dental office with a new smile without waiting months for your permanent restoration.

Benefits of Same-Day Implants
With same-day dental implants, patients may experience the following benefits:
- Immediate Functionality: Same-day implants allow patients to have their missing teeth replaced in a single appointment, providing immediate functionality and restoring the ability to eat, speak, and smile without delay.
- Time Efficiency: The procedure for traditional dental implants often requires multiple visits over several months. With Teeth-in-a-Day, the entire process, including implant placement and restoration, can be completed in one appointment, saving patients time and reducing the overall treatment duration.
- Preservation of Bone and Gum Tissue: Immediate placement of implants helps preserve the natural bone and gum tissue in the jaw. This can prevent the deterioration of these tissues that may occur when teeth are missing for an extended period.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Teeth-in-a-Day offers immediate improvement in the appearance of the smile. By replacing missing teeth quickly, patients can regain their confidence and self-esteem without having to wait for the final restoration.
- Minimized Discomfort and Disruption: Since same-day implants streamline the treatment process, patients experience minimal discomfort and disruption to their daily lives compared to traditional implant procedures. There’s less need for additional surgeries or prolonged healing periods.
- Cost-Effectiveness: While the upfront cost of teeth-in-a-day may be slightly higher than traditional implants, the overall cost can be lower due to fewer appointments and a reduced need for additional procedures. This makes immediate implants a cost-effective option for many patients in the long run.
- Convenience: The same-day dental implant treatment offers convenience for patients with busy schedules or those who may have difficulty arranging multiple dental appointments. With immediate placement and restoration, patients can quickly resume their normal activities without prolonged downtime.
- Predictable Results: Advances in implant dentistry techniques and technology have made same-day implants a highly predictable treatment option with successful outcomes for many patients. Dental professionals can use advanced planning tools and precision-guided surgery to ensure optimal implant placement and stability.
How Does Teeth-in-a-Day Work?
Initial Consultation
As with any dental procedure, our Sayville implant dentist, Dr. Sigismondi, will have you attend an initial consultation before he approves you for Teeth-in-a-Day. During your initial consultation, he’ll thoroughly examine your mouth, review your medical history, and ask about your smile goals. Our dentist will show you what your new smile will look like using a digital smile design. If you’re prone to dental anxiety, Dr. Sigismondi will extend the sedation dentistry option.
Designing Your Same-Day Implants
Once Dr. Sigismondi has approved you for same-day implants, he’ll take digital images and impressions of your teeth. These will serve as the design blueprints for your custom-made dental implants. You’ll return for your implant placement once your restoration is ready.
Preparation
Once you return to our Sayville dental office, we’ll show you your new restoration to make sure it’s to your liking. If your new dental restoration suits your needs, we’ll clean your mouth to provide a sanitary environment for your new implants. Then, we’ll apply a local anesthetic to the soft tissues near the surgical site.
Placing Your Implants
Once we’re sure you’re numb, Dr. Sigismondi will make the incision into your gums, where the implants will be secured. Then, he’ll insert the implants into their proper places. Once the implants are secure, he’ll attach the dental arch restoration to complete your new smile.
Who Qualifies for Same-Day Dental Implants?
You may be a candidate for same-day implants if any of the following apply to you:
- You’re missing most of the teeth in an arch
- You have adequate gum tissue mass
- You practice good oral hygiene and will continue to do so
- Your jawbone is fully developed
- You’re about to lose most or all of the teeth in an arch

Same-Day Dental Implant Costs
In general, same-day dental implants can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $6,000 per implant. This is just an estimate, and the actual price for you may be higher or lower.
Several factors can influence the final cost of your same-day dental implants. These include:
- The number of implants you need
- The type and material of the implant and crown
- The complexity of the procedure (bone grafting needs, etc.)
- The location and experience of your dentist
Frequently Asked Questions
You may be advised to avoid hard or crunchy foods for a few days and to rinse your mouth with salt water. Your dentist will provide you with specific post-procedure instructions to ensure your recovery goes smoothly.
Same-day dental implants provide a much quicker timeline compared to traditional implants. Although the consultation and examination process is the same, the dental implant procedure can be completed in a single visit and patients will receive a temporary restoration while they go through the healing process.
Like other implant restorations, your Teeth-in-a-Day implants can last twenty years to a lifetime. The tooth restoration will need to be replaced every ten to fifteen years. You’ll need to give your Teeth-in-a-Day implants the same care as your natural teeth. Be sure to brush at least twice a day, floss at least once a day (preferably before bedtime), rinse between meals, and visit your dental office every six months for regular dental exams.
