Teeth in a Day, also known as All-on-4 or Same-Day Smile, is a procedure that combines dental implants with laser periodontal therapy to give patients a full, functional, fixed smile in a single day. It’s designed for patients dealing with tooth loss, severe decay, or advanced gum disease, and it replaces the traditional multi-surgery, multi-month implant timeline with one streamlined visit. At Idaho Perio Center in Boise and Meridian, ID, the team plans and places these implants using advanced technology and laser therapy that promotes faster healing.
What Is Teeth in a Day?
Teeth in a Day is a same-day approach to full-arch tooth replacement. Rather than undergoing separate surgeries and waiting months between implant placement and final restoration, patients leave their appointment with a complete, functional smile. It’s built on the same foundation as All-on-4 or All-on-6 dental implants, using a small number of strategically placed implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth.
Who Is Teeth in a Day For?
This procedure is designed for patients dealing with significant tooth loss, severe decay, or advanced gum disease that has compromised most or all of the teeth in an arch. Instead of extracting failing teeth and waiting through a long healing process before implants can be placed, Teeth in a Day is built to handle extraction, implant placement, and a fixed restoration in one coordinated visit.
How Does Teeth in a Day Work?
The process starts with personalized treatment planning, where the periodontal team maps out the ideal position for each implant using advanced imaging. During the procedure, implants are placed strategically to support a full arch, and laser periodontal therapy is used alongside implant placement. The laser therapy is gentle and effective, and it promotes quicker healing while reducing the risk of infection compared to traditional surgical methods.
What Are the Benefits of Teeth in a Day?
Immediate results. Patients leave with a complete smile transformation the same day, without needing to wear temporary teeth while waiting for healing.
Enhanced comfort. The minimally invasive approach, supported by laser therapy, reduces discomfort and shortens recovery time compared to traditional implant surgery.
A natural appearance. The replacement teeth are custom-crafted to match the look of a natural smile, so the result blends in rather than looking obviously artificial.
Improved functionality. Because the new teeth are fixed in place, patients regain the freedom to eat, speak, and smile with confidence right away.
Long-lasting results. With proper maintenance and oral hygiene, teeth placed through this procedure can last a lifetime.
