If you wear dentures or have several missing or failing teeth, you may be wondering what the process looks like for Full Arch Dental Implants—sometimes called “Teeth in a Day.”

 

In this Wellness Hour interview, I walk you step-by-step through how we restore a full, natural-looking smile here in Walpole, NH, serving patients from all over southern Vermont and Western, NH. 

​

Our process is designed to be simple, comfortable, and predictable:

1. Consultation: We start with a one-on-one visit to determine whether dental implants are right for you. Every case is unique, so this first step helps us understand your goals, health, and what’s possible.

2. Work-Up: Next, we gather detailed information—photos, digital scans, and measurements—that allow me and our dental lab partners to plan your new smile precisely. This step ensures your final result looks and feels natural.

3. Implant Procedure (Under Sedation): During your procedure, we place the implants while you’re under comfortable sedation—you’ll have no memory of the process and any nerves or anxiety will be extremely calmed. Before you leave, you’ll receive a beautiful provisional set of 3D-printed teeth, allowing you to smile and function immediately.

4. Final Restoration: After your gums heal and implants fuse to the bone (think of it like concrete setting around a fence post), usually around four months later, you’ll receive your permanent, nearly unbreakable teeth designed to look and feel just like natural teeth.
This approach gives patients a strong, stable, and confident smile—without the slipping or discomfort of traditional dentures. Many tell us it’s truly life-changing.
