Teeth-in-a-Day is a same-day dental implant procedure that gives you a functional set of temporary teeth on the exact same day your implants are placed. Unlike conventional implants, which require a waiting period before any teeth are attached, this approach combines implant surgery and immediate tooth restoration into one single visit.
Using advanced virtual surgical planning, pre-fabricated prosthetics, and minimally invasive flapless techniques, Dr. Raymond Wright Jr. delivers results that would traditionally take months in just one appointment. If you are tired of living with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures in San Clemente, CA, Teeth-in-a-Day may be the solution you have been waiting for!
You may be a good candidate for Teeth-in-a-Day in San Clemente, CA, if you are missing one tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch and have adequate bone volume in your upper or lower jaw. Patients looking to transition from removable dentures to a permanent solution are also excellent candidates, provided they have healthy gum tissue and no active periodontal disease.
Good overall health, sufficient for a minor surgical procedure, is also required. If significant bone loss is present, Dr. Wright may recommend bone grafting before proceeding, and he will walk you through exactly what that entails for your treatment plan during your consultation.
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation and a 3D CAT scan of your jawbone. This imaging provides Dr. Wright with a precise view of your bone structure, enabling him to identify optimal implant placement sites without the need for exploratory surgery.
Using advanced planning software, Dr. Wright virtually maps your implant placement and creates a custom surgical guide. A prosthesis is designed and fabricated in advance so it is ready to be placed immediately after surgery, eliminating any waiting period between implant placement and receiving your teeth.
On the day of your procedure, Dr. Wright places your implants under local anesthesia using guided, minimally invasive techniques. Because no gum incisions are required, there is less bleeding, reduced post-operative discomfort, and faster healing than traditional implant surgery.
Immediately following implant placement, your pre-fabricated temporary restoration is secured directly to the implants. You leave our office the same day with a complete, functional smile.
Over the following months, your implants fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Once integration is confirmed and your mouth is ready, Dr. Wright replaces your temporary prosthesis with your permanent custom restoration.
Following your Teeth-in-a-Day procedure, stick to soft foods for the first several weeks to protect your implants as they heal. Maintaining thorough oral hygiene around the implant sites, avoiding all tobacco products, and attending your scheduled follow-up appointments are essential to long-term implant success.
Dr. Wright will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions and is always available to answer questions during your recovery. Most patients experience a smooth healing process and are back to their normal routines quickly.

Yes. Teeth-in-a-Day is an excellent option for full-arch tooth replacement and can support a complete dental prosthesis on as few as four implants.
With proper care and regular professional maintenance, implants placed with this technique are built to last 20 or more years. Healthy habits and routine checkups are key to protecting your investment long term.
Some patients with significant bone loss may need grafting before implant placement can proceed. Dr. Wright will evaluate your jawbone during your consultation and let you know clearly whether this applies to your situation.
Most patients return to their normal daily activities within a day or two. The minimally invasive, flapless approach significantly reduces recovery time compared to traditional implant surgery.
