Losing a tooth affects far more than your smile — it impacts your oral health, your ability to chew, and your self-confidence. In Montreal, where patients lead active lives, time matters. That’s why the Tooth-in-a-Day concept stands out as a modern, effective solution: a complete dental implant placement — including extraction, immediate implant placement, and a temporary crown — performed in just one day at the oral surgery clinic.

This advanced approach restores function and aesthetics quickly while reducing the number of appointments and overall healing time.

Why Time Matters as Much as a Beautiful Smile

Traditional dental implants usually involve several stages: extraction, then implant placement and, finally, crown restoration. This process can extend over many months.

The Tooth-in-a-Day method consolidates the entire surgical treatment into a single, precisely planned intervention. In just one day, most patients benefit from an extraction, immediate implant placement, and a fixed temporary prosthesis. This approach shortens treatment timelines while respecting the biological requirements of bone healing.

After the initial procedure, patients receive personalized follow-up care to ensure implant stability and long-term success. It’s an ideal option for individuals seeking rapid tooth replacement — without compromising safety, function, or durability.

A New Era in Dental Surgery

Tooth-in-a-Day exemplifies the evolution of implant dentistry toward more precise, minimally invasive, and patient-centred care. From the first consultation, a detailed treatment plan is established using 3D radiographs (CBCT) and digital planning software.

The oral and maxillofacial surgeon — with specialized training in implantology — plans each step carefully, from preparing the implant site to inserting the titanium post, ensuring optimal primary stability and predictable bone integration.

Computer-assisted planning enhances surgical accuracy, implant positioning, and angulation control, all of which support faster healing and a high success rate.

This integrated approach offers patients a streamlined surgical experience, reproducible results, and structured follow-up care.

Quality of Life and Everyday Comfort

One of the key benefits of Tooth-in-a-Day is the immediate stability of the implant-supported prosthesis. Patients regain natural chewing function and clear speech without the discomforts of removable dentures.

Implant-supported restorations provide a permanent, aesthetic, and natural-looking solution. They also help preserve the alveolar bone: the implant acts as an artificial root, stimulating bone growth and preventing the resorption that occurs after tooth loss.

By maintaining bone volume, gum contour, and facial structure, this technique supports long-term oral health and facial aesthetics. Preserving the tissues around the implant is essential for achieving an optimal functional and aesthetic result.

To ensure treatment success, healthy gums, good bone quality, and a balanced bite (occlusion) are crucial — all of which contribute to lasting comfort and durability.

Results That Last

Same-day dental implants are designed for long-term success — often lasting several decades. Biocompatible materials such as titanium and high-density ceramics allow for strong osseointegration (fusion with bone) and excellent mechanical stability.

After the healing phase, permanent crowns are custom-designed to blend seamlessly with the patient’s natural teeth. The final outcome is stable, functional, and aesthetically natural.

Regular follow-up visits help monitor implant stability, gum health, and oral hygiene — essential factors for maintaining results over the long term.

Real-Life Experiences

Patient testimonials highlight the life-changing benefits of this advanced technique:

“They gave my mother more than her smile back — they gave her confidence, comfort while eating, and a renewed joy of living.”

“Before, I hid my smile in photos. Today, I smile and eat normally — it’s a complete life change.”

These real experiences demonstrate that Tooth-in-a-Day restores far more than a tooth — it restores function, confidence, and everyday quality of life.

Practical FAQs

How much time should I plan for on treatment day?

The entire procedure — from extraction to temporary prosthesis placement — is typically completed in one visit lasting a few hours.

Will I be able to smile and eat right away?

Yes, most patients can eat soft foods the next day. Avoid chewing directly on the treated area during initial healing.

What’s the difference between a temporary and permanent crown?

The temporary crown is placed the same day for immediate function and appearance. After full bone fusion, a permanent crown is custom-made for a perfect fit.

Is it safe to proceed this quickly?

Yes — when implant stability and bone quality are adequate. Studies show that immediate-load implants have success rates comparable to multi-stage procedures when carefully planned.

How long do implants last?

With proper oral hygiene, professional maintenance, and regular check-ups, dental implants can last for decades — often a lifetime.

What is the cost of dental implants in Montreal?

The cost typically ranges from $2,500 to $5,000 per implant, depending on case complexity and materials used. After insurance reimbursement, the remaining balance varies by individual coverage.

What financing options are available for patients without insurance?

For uninsured patients, Seaforth Oral Surgery offers flexible payment plans to make treatment more accessible.
