Teeth in a Day: How Same-Day Dental Implants Work
Teeth in a day means you leave our Encinitas office the same day with a full set of fixed teeth on dental implants, instead of going months without. At McElroy Smiles, those same-day teeth are a fixed temporary set; your final custom teeth are crafted by a trusted master lab and placed once the implants heal.
What does “teeth in a day” actually mean?
It means leaving with a fixed, full set of teeth on the day of surgery, rather than waiting months with gaps or wearing a removable denture. The teeth you leave with are a temporary fixed set, designed to look good and let you eat soft foods right away.
When do I get my permanent teeth?
Your final teeth come later, after the implants fuse with your jawbone over a few months. They are custom-crafted by a trusted master lab our doctors control, made to fit your bite precisely and to last. The same-day teeth carry you comfortably until then.
Who is a candidate for same-day teeth?
Many patients missing most or all of their teeth in an arch are candidates, including denture wearers ready for something fixed. The requirements are enough bone to anchor the implants and good general health, which we confirm with an exam and a scan.
Is it really done in one day?
The surgery and your fixed temporary teeth happen in one day. The full journey to your final teeth takes a few months of healing. We are clear about that up front, because honest expectations are part of a good result. Results vary by patient.

The same-day teeth are a fixed temporary set that lets you eat and smile right away. Your permanent, custom teeth are made later and placed once the implants have fused with the jawbone. Both are fixed in place, not removable.
