Teeth in a Day

What does "teeth in a day" mean?

"Teeth in a day" is the everyday name for full-arch implant treatment in which you leave the first visit with fixed teeth instead of a gap or a denture. The implants are placed, fixed temporary teeth can be fitted at that first visit, and your final teeth are made once the implants have healed.

The name can suggest that everything is finished at once, and that is the one point worth clearing up. The temporary teeth are real fixed teeth, screwed to the implants, but they are a first set: they protect the implants during healing and let you smile, talk and eat soft food. Your final zirconia teeth come at a second visit, two to three months later.

The treatments behind the name are All-on-4 and All-on-6: a complete set of 12 fixed teeth on four or six implants per jaw. Your dentist chooses between them on a 3D CT scan of your jaw.

Who is teeth in a day for?

It is for adults who have lost most of their teeth in a jaw, whose remaining teeth are loose or beyond repair, or who are tired of a denture that moves. The common thread is wanting fixed teeth without spending months with no teeth or a temporary plate.

• Failing teeth. Several loose, broken or infected teeth that would need treatment one by one.
• Full or partial dentures. A plate that slips, rubs or needs adhesive every day.
• Missing teeth across a jaw. Gaps that make chewing hard on one or both sides.

Most people in these situations can have it. Your dentist confirms it from your photos, an examination and the 3D CT scan, and if your gums need care first, our specialist in periodontology plans it into the same treatment.

Your first visit: implants and fixed temporary teeth

The first visit lasts 3 days, or up to 5. On day 1 you have an examination and a 3D CT scan, go through your plan with your dentist, and then any teeth that cannot be kept are removed and the implants are placed in the same session, under local anaesthetic.

If you wish, fixed temporary teeth can be fitted at your first visit. They are made to fit your new implants and screwed in place, so you do not go home with an empty jaw or your old denture. Day 2 is a check, and after a final check on day 3 most patients fly home.

Living with your temporary teeth

For the healing months your temporary teeth do three jobs: they protect the implants, they let you smile and speak normally, and they let you eat. The one thing they ask of you is patience with food, because the implants are still fusing with the bone.

• Soft food first. Pasta, fish, eggs, soups, well-cooked vegetables; nothing hard or very chewy until your dentist says so.
• Gentle cleaning. A soft brush twice a day and the rinse your dentist recommends.
• Speaking. Your tongue gets used to the new teeth, and a few words may feel different at first.
• Questions from home. If anything feels wrong, you send your coordinator a photo, and a dentist looks at it and replies on WhatsApp.

Your second visit: the final zirconia teeth

Two to three months later, once the implants have healed, you come back for 6 days (up to 8) for your final teeth. If you needed a bone graft or a sinus lift, healing takes three to six months, and your treatment plan tells you this at the start.

Your dentist takes a digital scan, you try in the new teeth to check the shape, the shade and the bite, and the 12 zirconia crowns are fitted on day 5 and checked on day 6. They are made in our own CAD/CAM lab, and small changes to shape or shade can be made while you are here.

Temporary teeth and final teeth compared

The full treatment, with the day-by-day plan for both visits, is described on our page about All-on-4 and All-on-6 in Turkey; the differences between four and six implants are in our guides to All-on-4 dental implants and All-on-6 dental implants.

How much does teeth in a day cost?

In the UK, full-arch implant treatment typically costs £10,000–£18,000 per jaw for All-on-4 and £12,000–£22,000 for All-on-6 at a private clinic. At TUA Dental in Kuşadası, All-on-4 is £2,660 per jaw and All-on-6 £3,120 per jaw, with hotel and VIP transfer included.

No hidden costs: the price in your treatment plan is the price you pay. It covers the implants, the abutments, your 12 final zirconia crowns per jaw, the examination, the 3D CT scan, your treatment plan, the hotel, VIP transfers and aftercare. Flights are not included; your coordinator helps you plan them, free of charge.

Teeth in a day or dentures?

A denture is the quickest and cheapest way to replace missing teeth, and for some people it is enough. But it sits on the gums, it can move when you eat or laugh, and many people never get used to the plate. Fixed teeth on implants do not move, do not cover the roof of your mouth and do not come out at night.

There is also the bone. Teeth on implants pass chewing forces into the jaw much as natural roots do, while a denture rests on the gums. If you have worn a denture for years, your dentist checks on the 3D CT scan how much bone there is, and plans the implants around it.
