“You mean I could walk in with missing or failing teeth and leave with a complete set of fixed teeth on the very same day? That sounds too good to be true…”
It’s a reaction we hear frequently across our Kissdental practices in Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire, and Bury. And it’s perfectly understandable – the idea that decades of dental problems could be resolved in a single day seems almost magical in an age where we’re accustomed to lengthy dental treatments.
But is Same Day Teeth actually a reality, or is it just clever marketing? Let’s separate fact from fiction and explore what’s genuinely possible when it comes to immediate tooth replacement.
Before addressing whether it’s a myth, let’s clarify what we mean by “Same Day Teeth.” This term typically refers to a treatment protocol where:
At Kissdental, this approach is one of our fortes, particularly for patients requiring full arch restoration. Our dental team, including experts like Dr Kailesh Solanki, offers several same-day solutions including the All-on-4 full arch restoration – often marketed specifically as ‘Same Day Teeth’.
“When patients visit our Manchester city centre practice thinking Same Day Teeth sounds like a gimmick, I often explain that while it might seem revolutionary, the underlying concept has been refined over decades of clinical research,” shares Kailesh.
To understand why Same Day Teeth isn’t a myth, it helps to understand the evolution of dental implant protocols.
Historically, dental implant treatment followed a lengthy timeline:
This cautious approach ensured the implants fully integrated with the bone before bearing any load from chewing forces.
Modern Same Day Teeth protocols use advanced techniques to safely bypass this waiting period:
“For patients who’ve been struggling with failing teeth or uncomfortable dentures, eliminating that months-long waiting period makes an enormous psychological difference,” notes Khailesh.
Here’s where some clarity is important. While patients do indeed receive fixed teeth on the same day as implant placement, there are typically preparations before and refinements after this pivotal day.
Same Day Teeth isn’t appropriate for every situation, but it can be transformative for many patients, including those who:
“One of the most rewarding aspects of offering this treatment at our Cheshire practices in Knutsford and Alderley Edge is helping patients who’ve been told elsewhere that they aren’t candidates for implants due to bone loss,” notes Khailesht. “Techniques like All-on-4 and zygomatic implants often make Same Day Teeth possible even in challenging cases.”
To truly understand whether Same Day Teeth is a myth, let’s look at what actually happens during a typical treatment day at one of our Manchester, Liverpool or Cheshire practices.
7:30 AM: Patient arrives for treatment. They currently have failing teeth or is already wearing removable dentures.
8:00 AM: Procedure begins with appropriate sedation or anaesthesia for comfort.
9:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Surgical phase – any remaining teeth extracted, implants precisely placed according to the pre-surgical planning.
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM: Technical phase – impressions or digital scans captured, and the dental team (including our dental technician Steve Bradburn with his extensive experience in Same-Day Teeth and the All-on-4 procedure) works on creating the temporary bridge.
3:00 PM: Fixed teeth are attached to the implants and adjusted for comfort and function.
4:00 PM: Patient leaves with a new set of fixed, functioning teeth—having arrived that morning with failing teeth or removable dentures.
A point that sometimes creates confusion about Same Day Teeth is the distinction between the immediate “temporary” teeth and the final prosthesis.
“When I explain to patients at our Manchester practices that they’ll receive temporary teeth on the same day, some are initially disappointed,” notes one of our team. “But these aren’t like flimsy temporary crowns—they’re sturdy, fixed prosthetics that look natural and function well for the entire healing period.”
These same-day teeth are considered “temporary” primarily because:
For patients in Bury or Liverpool concerned about appearance, it’s important to know that these temporary teeth look natural—no one would identify them as “temporary” in everyday interactions.
While Same Day Teeth is definitely not a myth, it would be misleading to suggest it’s without limitations or considerations.
Same Day Teeth isn’t appropriate for every patient. Factors that might affect suitability include:
During the healing phase (typically 3-6 months), patients need to:
Another reality of Same Day Teeth is that the convenience and immediate results come with a higher investment than traditional approaches.
However, many patients find the value proposition compelling when they consider:
For patients weighing their options, it’s helpful to understand how Same Day Teeth compares to other approaches:
One aspect that’s difficult to quantify but incredibly significant is the emotional impact of Same Day Teeth. Across our practices in Manchester, Cheshire, Liverpool, and Bury, we’ve witnessed profound psychological transformations.
For many patients, the ability to avoid ever being without teeth—even for a day—preserves dignity and self-confidence during what would otherwise be a challenging transition period.
Perhaps the most important factor in determining whether Same Day Teeth will be a success or disappointment is the expertise of the dental team. This treatment protocol demands exceptional skill in:
At Kissdental, Dr Kailesh Solanki’s expertise in dental implants, including complex cases like All-on-4 and zygomatic implants, combined with Steve Bradburn’s technical experience in Same-Day Teeth procedures, allows us to offer this treatment with confidence Kissdental.
“The success of Same Day Teeth across our Northwest practices isn’t about the concept being true or false—it’s about having the right team with the right experience to deliver predictable results,” emphasises Kailesh.
The definitive answer: No, Same Day Teeth is not a myth. It’s a well-established clinical protocol that, when performed by an experienced team for suitable candidates, delivers on its promise of immediate fixed teeth.
However, understanding what “Same Day” truly encompasses—a pivotal day within a more comprehensive treatment journey—helps set realistic expectations.
For the thousands of patients who’ve experienced this treatment across our Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire, and Bury practices, the ability to walk in with failing or missing teeth and leave with a fixed smile is very real indeed.
If you’ve been considering implant treatment but dreading the thought of being without teeth during the process, Same Day Teeth might be the solution you’re looking for.
