Dental Implants
Full Mouth or Full Arch Rehabilitation
When a tooth is lost due to infection, cracked tooth syndrome or if it was congenitally missing, we will sometimes opt to replace it with an implant. These are hollow titanium screws that are placed in the bone to replace the missing tooth. The bone actually grows into the implant and integrates with the screw. A crown can then be screwed into the hollow implant an effectively replace the missing tooth, restoring form, function and esthetics.
FAQ's
What are dental implants?
Answer – Remember dental implant is not a tooth. In fact, it is a prosthesis that is used to replace your missing teeth. A dental implant is a small titanium fixture that is usually inserted into the jawbone on top of which we will add a cap that is called a crown, a fixed bridge & a partial denture or even a complete denture is required. Once the implant is integrated with the bone, the abutment is then connected to the implant following which the artificial tooth is attached. To make it simple to understand – there are 3 different parts to dental implants. These 3 parts are – dental implants, abutment, and artificial teeth.
Who all can go for dental implants?
Well! Anyone who has a missing tooth or multiple teeth can opt for dental implants.
What are the advantages of dental implants?
Answer – There are several reasons that can cause tooth loss. In this case, one seems to lose confidence and even the beautiful smile that you might have. Some of these reasons are – tooth decay, ageing, gum disease, and even accident. This is where dental implants help you restore the original functioning and smile. With dental implants, you will have several different benefits -eat normal food, retain a beautiful smile, and even better.
What are the disadvantages of dental implants?
Everything comes with pros and cons. Dental implants also have a set of disadvantages. Some of these disadvantages are the risk of inflammation, infection, and pain. Since it is a surgical procedure, it will take time to recover fully. In addition to this, in the cases where there is no available bone to place the implant, one needs to go through the bone & gum grafting procedures, which again will take more time.

What is the best way to get all new teeth in a day?
If you’ve been struggling with failing teeth, uncomfortable dentures, or a smile that makes you want to hide, you’ve likely heard the term "Teeth in a Day." It sounds like magic, but in 2026, it is a sophisticated reality powered by advanced surgical techniques and space-age digital tracking.
If you are looking for the absolute best way to restore your smile efficiently and accurately, here is the breakdown of the "Gold Standard" treatment.
1. The Foundation: All-on-4® Dental Implants
The "Teeth in a Day" concept is largely built on the All-on-4 treatment concept. Instead of replacing every single tooth root with an individual implant (which is expensive and requires significant bone), this method uses just four titanium posts to support an entire arch of teeth.
-
Strategic Placement: Two implants are placed straight in the front, while two are tilted at an angle in the back. This uses your existing bone most efficiently.
-
Immediate Results: Because the implants are locked together by a bridge, they can often be "loaded" with a set of temporary teeth the very same day.
2. The Game Changer: Photogrammetry
While All-on-4 provides the structure, Photogrammetry provides the perfection. This is the newest frontier in full-mouth rehabilitation.
In the past, dentists used "goopy" impression materials to map your mouth. Even modern handheld digital scanners can sometimes struggle with "stitching" errors when mapping an entire toothless jaw.
Enter Photogrammetry:
-
Scientific Precision: Using specialized high-speed cameras, photogrammetry captures the exact 3D coordinates of your implants with micron-level accuracy.
-
The "Passive Fit": For implants to succeed long-term, the bridge must sit on them perfectly without any tension. Studies show that stereophotogrammetry (SPG) is significantly more accurate than conventional impressions or standard intraoral scans.
-
Faster Appointments: The scan takes about 60 seconds, meaning less time in the chair and a much more comfortable experience.
3. Why This Combo is the "Best Way"
When you combine the All-on-4 surgical protocol with Photogrammetry digital mapping, you get a result that is:
-
Stable: You can eat and speak with confidence immediately.
-
Long-lasting: The high-precision fit reduces the risk of mechanical failure or "screw loosening."
-
Aesthetic: Using CAD/CAM technology, your new teeth are designed digitally to match your facial structure perfectly.
Frequently Asked Questions "Teeth in a day"
-
Q: How long does All-on-4 surgery take in Toronto?
-
A: The surgical placement of implants typically takes 2–4 hours per arch, and you leave the same day with a functional set of teeth.
-
Q: Is photogrammetry better than traditional dental impressions?
-
A: Yes, photogrammetry provides micron-level accuracy for a perfect "passive fit," which is significantly more precise than conventional goop impressions or standard 3D scans.
