Teeth in Just One Day is full-arch implant treatment that replaces all or most of your teeth using a small number of implants, with fixed temporary teeth placed the same day as surgery. At Makeover Dental in Springfield, IL, treatment is planned and completed by prosthodontist Dr. Jorge Mosquera. Learn more about dental implants or request a consultation.
Patients in good general health missing all or most of their teeth may be candidates, with immediate benefits to both appearance and daily life. If you wear dentures that slip, or face losing remaining failing teeth, this is usually the conversation worth having first.
Step 1 — Consultation. Dr. Mosquera reviews your medical history and discusses payment and financing options, helping you understand your choices and decide if and when to begin.
Step 2 — Implant placement. Implants are placed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, followed by a healing period of a few weeks to several months. You wear temporary bridges throughout, so you are never without teeth, and you help design your new smile — including choosing the shade.
Step 3 — Prototypes. Once the implants are stable, you receive a second set of temporaries called prototypes. These let you live with the design and request adjustments before the final teeth are made.
Step 4 — Final zirconia bridges. Your final bridges are crafted to detailed specifications and fitted at a concluding appointment. The result is permanent — brushing and flossing keep it in good condition.
Mild discomfort and swelling are expected, and we provide pain management instructions plus guidance on eating and oral hygiene during healing. A soft diet is essential for the first week or two while the implants integrate with the bone. Most patients return to work within three to five days.
Because every stage is completed at one Springfield location, patients travelling from Champaign and Mahomet can plan visits efficiently rather than coordinating between a surgeon and a separate restorative dentist.
That matters more with full-arch treatment than with any other procedure, since it runs across four stages. For patients outside Springfield, we group appointments wherever the healing timeline allows. We also treat patients from Decatur, Bloomington, Peoria and across Central Illinois.
