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.

We had such a wonderful experience at this dental office! From the very beginning, the scheduling process was easy, organized, and welcoming. The entire staff creates such a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that immediately made us feel comfortable. I especially appreciated how patient and kind they were with my kiddos during their cleanings. The team made sure they felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time, which means so much as a parent. My husband and I also had very thorough exams, and the dentist took the time to explain everything clearly and create a game plan for our next steps instead of making us feel rushed. You can truly tell they care about their patients and want the best for your family’s dental health. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, professional, and trustworthy dental office!

I can’t say enough good things about Greenwood Dental Care! From the moment you walk in until the moment you leave, every member of the staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. I have a lot of dental anxiety, but they’ve made every visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible. The entire process has been painless, and I truly appreciate the care and compassion they show their patients. I highly recommend this office to anyone, especially if you’re nervous about going to the dentist!

Jessica Mitchener

I haven’t been to the dentist in over 10 years. Due to the fear of pain, and my gagging reflex is horrible! I came here to see Dr.Nikol. She and her wonderful staff made me feel really comfortable! If I was having a problem they would step back and let me get my bearings back and my thoughts outta my head! And April the support pup will also help you relax. She does a great job! I’ll tell you what, I won’t be afraid to come back here in the future! Oh and my bad gagging didn’t happen! Woohoo! See you next time Greenwood Dental thank you for an amazing experience!!

Theresa Kromer

What a wonderful experience and an amazingly clean and modern facility. I dread going to the dentist, but this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. My husband and I recently moved to the area and we really lucked out by having found Greenwood Dental. Dr. Nikol was very thorough and detailed about the condition my teeth were in and what the game plan was moving forward. Happy to have found such a great dentist in the area!

Danielle C.

Very nice office! It was easy to make an appointment. It was for my 7 year old grandaughter. We got there a bit early (by 15 min or so) and was taken in early! Very nice hydgienist took great care of my grandaughter. She made her feel super comfortable (the child is usually very squirmy) but she was perfectly still even for the x-rays! Dr. Kurkiak was also very nice and great with the little one! Quickly found common ground with 7 year old. Everything went smoothly!

Elaine Field

I had a great experience! The staff was friendly and welcoming, and Dr. Kurziak was very gentle and caring. They made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. I highly recommend this office!

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
