With advanced oral surgery training, CBCT imaging, implant planning, and IV sedation when appropriate, Babayev can help determine whether full-arch implant treatment is right for you. Call 203-489-0980 to schedule a consultation.
What Is Teeth-in-a-Day?
Teeth-in-a-Day is a full-arch tooth replacement option that uses dental implants to support a fixed or implant-supported restoration. Instead of relying on a traditional denture that rests on the gums, this treatment uses implants placed in the jawbone to anchor the replacement teeth.
For many patients, this can provide better stability, improved comfort, and a more natural feel than traditional dentures. The goal is to replace a full arch of missing or failing teeth with a secure restoration that helps restore chewing, speaking, and smile confidence.
How Teeth-in-a-Day Differs from Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures can shift, rub, or feel loose because they sit on top of the gums. Teeth-in-a-Day uses dental implants for support, which can reduce rocking, movement, and irritation.
Because the restoration is supported by implants, many patients find it easier to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This option can also eliminate the need for a denture plate covering the roof of the mouth in many upper arch cases.
Benefits of Full-Arch Implant Treatment
Teeth-in-a-Day may be recommended for patients who are missing all of their teeth in an arch or who have remaining teeth that cannot be predictably saved.
Potential benefits include:
- More stability than traditional removable dentures
- Less rocking, slipping, and irritation
- Improved comfort when eating and speaking
- A more natural-looking replacement for missing teeth
- Implant support that helps stimulate the jawbone
- A secure full-arch solution for many denture patients
- IV sedation available when appropriate
Why Choose an Oral Surgeon for Teeth-in-a-Day?
Full-arch implant treatment requires careful planning, surgical experience, and a detailed understanding of the jawbone, nerves, sinuses, bite, and final restoration. As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Imanuel Babayev has specialty-level training in implant surgery and complex oral surgery care.
Babayev has placed more than 4,500 dental implants and has completed or been involved with more than 200 immediate full-arch cases. His experience with extractions, bone grafting, sinus lifts, IV sedation, and implant planning helps support a more efficient and carefully planned treatment process.
Who May Be a Candidate for Teeth-in-a-Day?
Teeth-in-a-Day may be an option for patients who are missing all teeth in an upper or lower arch, currently wear dentures, or have remaining teeth that are failing because of decay, bone loss, fractures, infection, or other oral health concerns.
Babayev will evaluate your health history, jawbone, bite, remaining teeth, and treatment goals before recommending this option. If additional support is needed, bone grafting, sinus lift treatment, or a staged treatment plan may be discussed.
Advanced Imaging and Implant Planning
Our office uses CBCT 3D imaging when needed to evaluate bone volume, jaw structure, nerves, sinuses, and the position of planned dental implants. This helps Babayev determine whether you have enough bone support for full-arch implant treatment.
Digital implant planning may also be used when indicated to help guide implant position with the final restoration in mind. Careful planning is especially important when replacing a full arch of teeth.
Tooth Extractions and Immediate Full-Arch Treatment
Some patients need remaining failing teeth removed before their full-arch restoration can be placed. In select cases, extractions and implant placement may be completed during the same surgical visit.
Imanuel Babayev has completed more than 50,000 tooth extractions and has extensive experience with immediate implant placement. During your consultation, Babayev will explain whether same-day implant placement is appropriate or whether a staged approach would provide a better long-term result.

Bone Grafting and Sinus Lifts
Some patients need additional bone support before dental implants can be placed. Bone grafting may be recommended when the jawbone is too thin, weak, or narrow for implant stability.
For upper arch treatment, a sinus lift may be needed if the sinus sits too close to the implant site or there is not enough bone height in the upper back jaw. Babayev has completed more than 1,000 bone grafting cases and more than 200 sinus lift cases.

IV Sedation for Teeth-in-a-Day
Full-arch implant treatment can be a longer or more involved surgical procedure, especially when extractions, bone grafting, or multiple implants are needed. IV sedation may be available when appropriate to help make treatment feel calmer and more comfortable.
Imanuel Babayev has completed more than 10,000 sedation and anesthesia cases and offers mild, moderate, and deep IV sedation when appropriate. Babayev will review your health history and procedure needs before recommending a sedation option.

What to Expect During Treatment
Your treatment begins with a consultation, examination, and imaging. Babayev will evaluate your jawbone, remaining teeth, bite, and treatment goals to determine whether Teeth-in-a-Day is appropriate.
If you are a candidate, the surgical plan may include removing failing teeth, placing dental implants, and attaching a temporary full-arch restoration. The implants still need time to heal and integrate with the jawbone before the final restoration is completed.
Recovery After Teeth-in-a-Day
After surgery, our team will provide post-operative instructions to help protect the implants and support healing. You may need to eat a softer diet, avoid putting too much pressure on the restoration, take medication as directed, and return for follow-up visits.
Healing time varies by patient. Once the implants have integrated with the bone, your final restoration can be completed according to your treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth-in-a-Day
What is Teeth-in-a-Day?
Teeth-in-a-Day is a full-arch tooth replacement option that uses dental implants to support a temporary restoration on the day of surgery when appropriate. The implants still need time to heal before the final restoration is completed.
Is Teeth-in-a-Day the same as dentures?
No. Traditional dentures rest on the gums, while Teeth-in-a-Day uses dental implants for support. This can provide more stability and reduce movement compared with removable dentures.
Can I get teeth removed and implants placed the same day?
In some cases, yes. If your jawbone, health, and treatment plan support it, Babayev may be able to remove failing teeth and place implants during the same surgical visit.
Will I receive my final teeth the same day?
Usually, the restoration placed the day of surgery is temporary. The implants need time to integrate with the jawbone before the final restoration is made and attached.
Who is a candidate for Teeth-in-a-Day?
Candidates may include patients missing all teeth in an arch, denture wearers, or patients with failing teeth that need full-arch replacement. A consultation and CBCT imaging help determine whether this option is appropriate.
Can IV sedation be used for Teeth-in-a-Day?
Yes. IV sedation may be available when appropriate. Babayev will review your health history, comfort level, and procedure needs before recommending a sedation option.
Will I need bone grafting first?
Some patients need bone grafting or sinus lift treatment before or during implant treatment. Babayev will evaluate your jawbone and explain whether additional support is needed.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies based on the number of implants, whether teeth were removed, whether grafting was needed, and your overall health. Our team will provide specific instructions and follow-up care after surgery.
