These days full mouth implants can be completed all on the same day so a patient can come in to see us after quite a lot of diagnostic work and preparation beforehand and then have implants placed and immediate bridges screwed onto those implants in the same day.
It’s a treatment that we call immediate full arch load and is often referred to as teeth in a day.
The bridge that is initially fitted is a prototype bridge and we do look to replace that with a more resilient, stronger bridge after between three and six months but at no time are our patients without teeth during that procedure.
