It is now possible to go from missing teeth to having functional and aesthetically pleasing teeth in just one session. If you’d like beautiful smile without having to wait 4 to 6 months as is typical with traditional dental implants, Yonge & St. Clair Prosthodontics Centre offers Teeth-In-A-Day provided by our board-certified prosthodontist, Dr. Babak Shokati.
As effective as traditional dental implants are, though, the process can take months to complete. After the initial visit, in which one or more implant posts are inserted in the patient’s jaw, it takes a significant amount of time for them to bond with the bone tissue there. But Teeth-In-A-Day changes that. |

How Does Teeth-In-A-Day Work?
Also known as All-on-Four, the Teeth-In-A-Day treatment option is designed for patients who need to replace a full row of teeth. The process begins with a consultation visit at Yonge & St. Clair Prosthodontics Center. On top of completing a thorough oral exam, our prosthodontist, Dr. Babak Shokati, will help you understand your needs and how Teeth-In-A-Day will help.
Teeth-In-A-Day typically uses four implants to replace the missing teeth of each jaw. Two of those implants are inserted near the front of your smile, while at least two occupy a posterior position. What’s more, the posterior implants are angled to take advantage of the healthier bone tissue deeper in the jaw. As a result, patients who might not qualify for a conventional implant procedure can enjoy better oral health and appearance.

Teeth-In-A-Day is a revolutionary concept providing patients with fully functioning teeth or dental implants in one single procedure. It allows for collaboration between both the restorative doctor and the surgeon. This merging of knowledge and experience achieves not only increased safety, but also a more precise dental implant placement. In addition, the fabrication of a final prosthesis is completed prior to the surgery. The computer-guided implant surgery is done in an arthroscopic fashion without requiring any flap reflection. This benefits the patient in that there is less postoperative discomfort, less swelling, and less bruising. Often patients can resume their normal activities within a few days.
Precise Planning with Contemporary Technology
Following your consultation, Dr. Shokati will begin planning your Teeth-In-A-Day procedure. With today’s advanced dental technology, our team at the Yonge & St. Clair Prosthodontic Centre can assemble a detailed surgical template. Then, on the day of your appointment, we’ll use this template as our guide to delivering care that’s as minimally invasive as possible. Once your implants have been placed, we’ll finish your procedure by attaching your provisional prosthesis, restoring your entire smile in a single visit.
