Replace a Full Arch of Teeth in Less Time

If you're a good candidate for a same-day smile procedure, you can get implants and new teeth at the same time. Innovative technology allows us to cut out the wait time. You won't have to go without your teeth any longer than necessary.

Dental implants are a fantastic way to replace missing teeth. They function as artificial tooth roots, which help protect you from bone loss. An oral surgeon will place these small titanium posts in your jaw, and Dr. Kurziak can anchor new teeth to them. With a traditional dental implant procedure, you usually have to wait several months between getting your implants and the placement of your new teeth. This gives the implants time to heal and fuse with your jawbone.

We can use an All-on-4^® procedure to give you your teeth the same day. It allows you to have functional teeth during your healing period. With this technique:

We partner with a trusted oral surgeon who will place just four implants per arch (upper, lower, or both).
Dr. Kurziak will anchor a full arch of fixed temporary teeth to the four implants.
You'll leave with these temporaries while your final restorations are crafted in a lab. You'll be able to smile and chew food right away.
When they're ready, we'll remove the temporary teeth and anchor your new teeth to your dental implants.

With this procedure, the waiting period to get your new teeth is eliminated, so you can leave our office with a brilliant and beautiful smile. Unlike traditional dentures, you won't need adhesive. You also won't need to remove teeth for cleaning or other maintenance. Plus, implants will keep you from losing bone in your jaw.

If you're ready for new teeth without the wait, ask us about a same-day smile in Waukegan.

My first time going, I noticed that everyone was friendly. The ambiance was warm and uplifting with good music playing. They asked what my concerns were instead of just suggesting treatments right away and they asked what exactly I wanted for my smile. I love that and how they paid attention...

Linda Wash

Was my first visit to Greenwood Dental today I was very impressed with everything! As I have always been apprehensive about someone “poking “ around in my mouth, I felt very comfortable with Dr. Kurziak doing a complete examination of my teeth, along with Dawn, the hygienist!! Doctor found a couple of issues, one I had known about and the other was very similar so I made an appointment to get this resolved! Also, there is a “comfort dog” on Wednesday to help allay someone’s apprehension, and “April “ the comfort pup, jumped on my lap and she really helped me relax!! As we have two Golden Retrievers, and I love dogs, April sure made my visit a lot less stressful!!! My wife also visited Greenwood Dental today, and she was very impressed and happy with the service!! We are certainly happy and glad we chose Greenwood Dental!😁 We would both HIGHLY recommend Greenwood Dental!!

Common Questions About Same-Day Smile

What is a same-day smile?

A same-day smile is a treatment in which you receive dental implants and a full arch of new teeth in a single visit. Our team works closely with a trusted oral surgeon so you can walk out with a complete, natural-looking smile the very same day.

How does the same-day smile process work?

For a same-day smile procedure, we partner with an oral surgeon who places a small number of dental implants, often using an All-on-4® technique. Your dentist then secures a full arch of fixed temporary teeth to those implants. You leave with a stable, attractive smile. After implants have healed, you return for a more permanent set of replacement teeth.

Am I a good candidate for a same-day smile?

You may be a great candidate for a same-day smile if you are missing most or all of your teeth, want a fixed alternative to dentures, and have enough bone to support implants. Your dentist will perform a thorough exam, take images, and review your health history. We'll determine whether this approach is right for you.

What are the benefits of a same-day smile compared to traditional dentures?

With a same-day smile, your replacement teeth are secured to implants, so they don't slip, click, or require messy adhesive. You can smile confidently and enjoy better chewing power. The implants also help preserve your jawbone. Our team designs your new teeth to look natural and feel comfortable from the start.

Will I be able to eat normally right away with a same-day smile?

On the day of your same-day smile procedure, you'll leave our office with fixed temporary teeth that allow you to smile and chew comfortably. We'll give you clear guidelines on what and how to eat while your implants heal. You typically start with a soft-food diet and gradually expand your options as you recover.

How long do the implants and new teeth from a same-day smile last?

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term, often lifelong solution when properly cared for. Once your final teeth are attached, good oral hygiene and regular visits with our team are essential. While your replacement teeth may eventually need replacement, implants themselves can provide many years of dependable support.

Is the same-day smile procedure painful?

The oral surgeon uses local anesthesia when placing dental implants for a same-day smile. Sedation options may be available to help you relax. You can expect some soreness afterward. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions and discuss pain management so your recovery is as smooth as possible. Your comfort is a top priority for our team.

How much does a same-day smile cost?

The cost of a same-day smile depends on how many dental implants you need and whether extractions or bone treatment are required. The type of restorations you receive also affects the cost. Our team will review a personalized treatment plan, go over all fees in advance, and help you understand payment options and available financing
