Same Day Dental Implants Philadelphia | Teeth in a Day
Walk Out With a Full Smile the Same Day as Your Procedure
For patients in the Philadelphia area who have been living with failing, broken, or missing teeth, same day dental implants offer a path to a complete, permanent smile without the months-long wait of traditional implant procedures. Using a protocol called All-in-One, Dr. Jay Laudenbach and Dr. Robert Slauch place implants and attach a full set of provisional teeth during a single visit. You leave the office with teeth the same day your implants go in.
This approach is also known as teeth in a day. It differs from conventional implants, which require a healing gap of three to six months between placement and tooth attachment, during which patients are often without a complete smile. With same day dental implants in Philadelphia, that gap is eliminated. You receive a temporary restoration immediately, then return a few months later for your permanent final teeth. If you are ready to explore this option, our dental implants team is here to help. Learn more about our highly skilled providers and the technology behind this procedure.

How Same Day Dental Implants Work
On the day of your procedure, Drs. Laudenbach and Slauch perform any necessary extractions, place implant fixtures directly into the jawbone, and attach a provisional set of replacement teeth, all in a single visit. The process typically involves six implants per arch, placed in the areas of highest bone density for maximum stability. Because the provisional teeth are fixed to the implants immediately, you leave with a functional, complete smile the same day. A few months later, once the implants have integrated with the bone, you return for your permanent final teeth made from zirconia and porcelain. This two-stage outcome is what separates same day implants from traditional dentures: you get implant-level stability from day one, with no gap period where you are without teeth.
Philadelphia's Same Day Implant Specialists
What makes same day dental implants in Philadelphia particularly effective at Laudenbach Periodontics is the combination of two board-certified specialists under one roof. Dr. Jay Laudenbach, a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, has spent years teaching implant placement to residents at the University of Pennsylvania and holds advanced training in prosthetic design. Dr. Robert Slauch, a board-certified prosthodontist and Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists, brings research-level precision to the restorative side of treatment. Both have been recognized as Philadelphia Magazine Top Dentists. Having a periodontist place the implants and a prosthodontist design the teeth in a coordinated same day protocol produces a level of precision that a single-provider office cannot replicate. All implants placed are Straumann, the leading implant manufacturer worldwide, and all digital planning uses Planmeca Cone Beam 3D imaging for accuracy at every stage.
All-In-One Dental Implant Testimonials
“I had a lifelong fear of dentists and had neglected proper oral hygiene for many years. As a result, I lost several teeth and suffered a severe gum infection. I checked into the local marketplace for periodontal specialists and found very favorable information about Laudenbach Periodontics & Dental Implants. I was very happy with the doctor’s patience, his willingness to hear my concerns and answer all of my questions, and how he clearly explained what needed to be done. As a result of the treatment, my health has been much improved, and my willingness to smile has been restored!”
— Michael, All-in-One procedure
“”I had a broken bridge, multiple crowns that needed replacement and an underlying infection. Dr. Laudenbach’s treatment was professional and friendly. His office was comfortable, and the staff was friendly and professional. I actively participated in the planning process, which was precise using digital imaging and 3D modeling. The surgery was meticulous and painless. I regained the ability to eat and smile thanks to the restored chewing function and natural-looking teeth. I have an improved smile and the ability to chew properly now.”
— Bill, All-in-One procedure
All In One Smile Transformations:
Each of the following patients was able to have their failing teeth replaced with dental implants and new fixed teeth in 24 hours. Most of their care was completed in a single procedure, and they were able to avoid being without teeth during the dental implant healing phase. After a 3 month waiting period, each patient had a permanent set of teeth made by their dentist.
How All-In-One Works
- Typically, six implants are placed in the densest and highest bone volume areas for maximum support.
- For optimal stability, long implants are often placed at an angle to increase bone-to-implant contact and minimize the need for bone grafting.
- The new teeth are made into one unit so that the load is evenly distributed and the chewing power is strong.
- To ensure longevity and durability, the final teeth are custom-made using top-quality dental materials, such as porcelain and zirconia. The end result is a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
State-of-the-Art Planning
Key to the success of the treatment is the extensive planning the doctors do using the latest dental technologies. Using digital impressions, facial photos, and 3D CT scans, they are able to plan every essential detail of the treatment with their partnering dental laboratory. They also use sophisticated smile design software to show patients a simulation of their new smile and 3D implant-planning software to visualize the placement of dental implants to achieve optimal results.
In partnership with a dental laboratory, the digital information is collected to design the patient’s temporary teeth. The temporary teeth look natural and attractive, and because they are affixed to the implants, they prevent the patient from having to endure a denture while the implant sites heal.
Beautiful and Strong Permanent Teeth
About three months later, once the implants have fully integrated with the patient’s jawbone, the doctors replace the temporary teeth with the exceptionally lifelike final teeth. With their permanent teeth, patients can confidently chew and enjoy all their favorite foods again, and show off a beautiful new smile!
“I regained the ability to eat and smile thanks to the restored chewing function and natural-looking teeth,” says Bill, a patient. “I have an improved smile and the ability to chew properly now.”
Same Day Dental Implants vs. Traditional Implants
Patients considering tooth replacement often ask how same day dental implants differ from traditional implants. The core distinction is timing. With traditional implants, placement and restoration happen in separate stages separated by three to six months of healing. With same day implants, a provisional restoration is attached to the implants on the same day as surgery. Both approaches use the same titanium implant technology and achieve similar long-term success rates. The key advantages of the same day approach are no gap period without teeth, fewer total visits, and faster return to normal appearance and function. For patients replacing a full arch, same day implants using the All-in-One protocol are often a more efficient path than multi-stage alternatives. Learn more about related options such as All-on-X dental implants, implant-supported overdentures, or replacing missing teeth to compare all available options.
What to Expect After Same Day Implant Surgery
The immediate post-procedure period for same day dental implants involves some mild swelling and soreness, which most patients manage comfortably with over-the-counter pain relief. For the first 24 to 48 hours, cold liquids and soft foods like smoothies, yogurt, and cooled soups are recommended. Over the following weeks, as the implants integrate with the bone, a soft-food diet is continued while the implant sites stabilize. Most patients are comfortable returning to work within a few days. By the time the permanent final teeth are placed a few months later, the implants have fully osseointegrated and patients can eat without restrictions. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, dental implants placed by a periodontist have success rates exceeding 95% over the long term when maintained with proper hygiene and regular follow-up appointments. Drs. Laudenbach and Slauch provide detailed post-operative instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing at every stage.
Comprehensive Evaluation and Personalized Treatment
Every patient’s journey begins with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Laudenbach and Dr. Slauch take the time to understand each patient’s dental history, concerns, and goals. The consultation includes:
- A detailed examination of the teeth, gums, and jawbone structure.
- 3D imaging and digital impressions to assess bone density and plan implant placement.
- A discussion about the patient’s expectations and treatment options.
This personalized approach ensures that each patient receives a custom-tailored solution designed for their unique needs.

Am I a candidate for same-day tooth replacement?
Same day dental implants are not appropriate for every patient, and a thorough evaluation is required before any treatment is planned. Candidates who tend to respond well include those who have multiple missing or failing teeth across a full arch, have sufficient bone volume to support implant placement, or are willing to address deficiencies through minor bone grafting. Patients who have been told they are not candidates for conventional implants may still qualify for the All-in-One protocol because of how implants are positioned in areas of highest bone density, often reducing or eliminating the need for extensive grafting. Uncontrolled systemic health conditions and active untreated gum disease are contraindications that need to be resolved before implant surgery. Drs. Laudenbach and Slauch use 3D imaging and digital planning during your evaluation to assess bone volume precisely and determine whether same day placement is appropriate. The consultation includes a full examination, periodontal charting, and digital impressions. Patients who do not qualify for same day placement are guided toward the most appropriate alternative within our dental implants program.
Recovery and Aftercare
After the procedure, patients can expect some mild swelling and discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days. To ensure a smooth recovery, patients should:
- Follow all post-operative instructions provided by Drs. Laudenbach and Slauch.
- Eat soft foods for the first few days to allow proper healing.
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing carefully.
- Attend follow-up appointments to monitor progress.
- Attend annual appointments for removal and disinfection of your new teeth.
Once fully healed, patients can resume a normal diet, enjoying their favorite foods without restrictions.
