The terms "All-on-4" and "Teeth in a Day" describe a procedure where patients receive replacement teeth in a single day. Variations include "Teeth in an Hour," "Dental Implants in One Day," "Teeth In One Day," and "Teeth In One Visit." Despite different names, they all refer to a one-day implant treatment for restoring an entire arch of teeth.

The Teeth-in-a-Day treatment uses 4-6 dental implants to attach a new set of permanent replacement teeth minimally invasively. These implants are designed for immediate function and often eliminate the need for bone grafting. Ideal for denture wearers or those needing full upper and/or lower restorations, this procedure offers a beautiful smile in just one day.

Dr. Stergar's approach involves only four specially placed implants, avoiding the need for bone grafts and sinus lifts. This results in fixed teeth that are not removable, reducing costs and healing times. Patients regain their smile and function faster and more reliably than with traditional methods.

During the full-arch implant procedure, 4-6 appliances are surgically placed into the jawbone and gums. After allowing sufficient time for healing, the implant bridge is securely attached. This bridge closely resembles the appearance of natural teeth. Periodic evaluations are necessary to ensure the health of both the prosthetic and implants.

The outpatient surgical procedure for full-arch dental implants is conducted in Dr. Stergar's office. Sedation, along with local anesthesia, is typically recommended for patient comfort.

Upon completion of the procedure, patients are fitted with a fixed complete denture before leaving the office. Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, a second, stronger denture may be provided during a follow-up visit.

Besides the quick treatment duration, full-arch dental implants offer numerous benefits compared to traditional dentures:

• Immediate replacement teeth in as little as one day
• Minimally invasive procedure
• Reduced pain and swelling
• Elimination of ill-fitting dentures
• No need for denture adhesives
• Enhanced security similar to natural teeth
• Reduced number of dental appointments
• Cost-effective compared to conventional implants
• Life-changing results
