Walk In Toothless, Walk Out Smiling
Discover how modern same-day implant technology can restore your smile, confidence, chewing ability and quality of life in as little as 24–72 hours — without spending months without teeth.
What Is “Teeth in a Day”?
Imagine walking into a dental clinic with failing, diseased or completely missing teeth and walking out the very same day with a beautiful, fixed, fully functional set of teeth.
No removable dentures. No months of waiting. No embarrassing gaps.
This is the transformative promise of Teeth in a Day (also called immediate loading implants), one of the most remarkable breakthroughs in modern restorative dentistry.
Teeth in a Day is not a gimmick or a marketing slogan… it is a clinically validated, internationally practiced implant protocol that has given millions of people around the world their confidence and quality of life back. In Hyderabad, this protocol has become increasingly accessible… thanks to pioneering clinics like FMS International Dental Center, which have been offering same-day and immediate-loading implant solutions since as far back as 2008.
The procedure works by placing titanium implants strategically in areas of the jaw with the highest bone density, then immediately attaching a fixed provisional (temporary) set of teeth to these implants, all in a single surgical appointment. The final permanent teeth, typically crafted in premium zirconia, are then delivered after 3-6 months once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone.
The Core Promise: You arrive at the clinic. Your failing are extracted (if necessary). Implants are surgically placed. A fixed provisional bridge is attached, all within one appointment. You leave with teeth you can eat soft food immediately.
The timeline to full permanent teeth: Same-day provisional teeth followed by 3-6 months for osseointegration and then final permanent prosthesis.
At FMS Dental, Hyderabad: Most patients receive their fixed provisional teeth within 24 to 72 hours of surgery, with complex cases resolved within 3 days.

FMS Dental — India’s #1 Rated Dental Center
When it comes to ‘Teeth in a Day’ procedures in Hyderabad, one name stands head and shoulders above the rest: FMS International Dental Center, headquartered at Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. Rated No. 1 in India by the Global Clinic Rating (GCR) and one of the top 3 dental centers in Asia, FMS Dental has spent over three decades building an unmatched legacy of implant excellence.
A Pioneer since Day One
FMS Dental’s journey with full-arch immediate loading began decades ago. The clinic placed its first dental implant in 1999… long before most dental practices in India had even heard of the procedure. More remarkably, FMS became one of the earliest adopters of the All-on-4 protocol in all of South Asia when Dr. Shailaja Reddy received her All-on-4 training in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2007-2008. Since then, FMS has been performing Teeth in a Day procedures — with All-on-4, All-on-4plus, 6-8 straight implants per arch protocols continuously, building an unparalleled track record.
This wasn’t just a technical adoption… it was a philosophical commitment. FMS Dental recognized early on that patients suffering from full tooth loss deserved immediate, dignified, fixed solutions. They invested in the digital infrastructure, CAC-CAM laboratory capabilities and surgical expertise needed to deliver consistently on that promise.
Technology That Drives Same-Day Success
Teeth in a Day is only possible with the right technology backing it. FMS Dental’s investments in cutting-edge systems are what make same-day and 72-hour protocols reliably achievable.
The Expert Behind Your New Smile
Dr. Shailaja Reddy — India’s Leading Implantologist
Behind every successful ‘Teeth in a Day’ case at FMS Dental is a name that has become synonymous with implant excellence in India: Dr. Shailaja Reddy. As Chief Implantologist and Vice-Chairman of FMS Dental, Dr. Shailaja has spent over three decades transforming the lives of patients who had lost hope of ever having a natural, confident smile again.
A towering figure in Indian Dental Implantology, Dr. Shailaja Reddy co-founded the FMS Group in 1993 and has been at the forefront of implant dentistry since placing her first implant in 1999. With over 26 years of exclusive implantology practice, she has transformed the smiles and lives of thousands of patients from across India and more than 40 countries worldwide.

Why Dr. Shailaja Is the Go-To Choice for Teeth in a Day
The Teeth in a Day protocol demands a very specific combination of skills: surgical precision in placing implants that will achieve immediate primary stability, prosthodontic expertise in designing and fitting the provisional bridge and a team that can execute all of this seamlessly… often on the same day. Dr. Shailaja brings all of this and more.
Her training in Lisbon with the inventors of the All-on-4 technique, combined with subsequent certifications in bone grafting in France and London, means she approaches even the most complex cases… patients with severe bone loss, previous failed implants or systemic health conditions, with a level of clinical mastery that is rare in India. She is widely recognized as one of the very few specialists in the country with expertise in zygomatic implants… a specialized technique for patients with extreme bone loss who are often told elsewhere that implants are simply not possible for them.
International Patients Trust Dr. Shailaja
Patients from the USA, UK, UAE, Australia, Singapore and across the Middle East specifically seek out Dr. Shailaja Reddy when they need full-arch implant rehabilitation. The combination of her clinical expertise, FMS’s advanced technology and the significant cost savings makes Hyderabad and specifically FMS Dental… a top global destination for Teeth in a Day procedures. Patients routinely fly in, complete their surgery within a week and return home with fixed teeth… all while spending far less than they would at home.
The FMS Teeth in a Day Expert Team
Step-by-Step Process
How Teeth in a Day Works at FMS Dental
Understanding what to expect before, during and after the procedure helps you prepare for your transformation. Here is the complete Teeth in a Day journey at FMS Dental:
- Initial Consultation & CBCT 3D Scan:
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Shailaja Reddy and her team. A CBCT (Cone Beam CT) 3D scan is taken giving the team a precise, three-dimensional map of your jawbone. This scan determines bone density, identifies nerve positions, locates sinuses and guides every decision about implant number, type, angulation and placement. - Digital Treatment Planning
Using the CBCT data, the FMS team creates a detailed digital treatment plan. Implant positions are virtually planned, surgical guides are designed and the provisional prosthesis is pre-fabricated using CAD-CAM technology. This pre-fabrication is what makes same-day delivery possible. - Day of Surgery: Extractions & Implant Placement
Under local anaesthesia (or General Anaesthesia if preferred), any remaining teeth that cannot be saved are extracted. Titanium implants… typically 4 (All-on-4) or 6 (All-on-6) per jaw, are then surgically placed at precise positions and angles determined by the digital plan. Posterior implants are often angled to maximize contact with available bone without grafting. - Same Day / 24–72 Hours: Fixed Provisional Teeth Attached
Once implants achieve sufficient primary stability (measured using torque values during surgery), the pre-fabricated provisional bridge, a full arch of fixed, non-removable teeth, is attached to the implants. You leave the clinic with teeth. You can eat soft foods immediately. This is the moment patients describe as life-changing. - Osseointegration: 3-6 Months Healing
Over the next 3-6 months, the titanium implants biologically fuse with your jawbone… a process called osseointegration. During this period, you wear the provisional bridge, enjoy near-normal eating and attend periodic check-up appointments. The provisional teeth look good and function well throughout this phase. - Final Permanent Teeth: Premium Zirconia Bridge
Once osseointegration is completed, your final permanent teeth are fabricated, typically in full-arch zirconia, the gold standard material for its strength, aesthetics, and biocompatibility. The final bridge is custom-shaded to match your desired tooth colour, meticulously contoured, and fixed permanently to your implants. This is your forever smile.
Understanding Your Options
Choosing the Right Implant Protocol for You
Not all Teeth in a Day cases are identical. FMS Dental offers a comprehensive range of full-arch implant solutions to match each patient’s unique bone anatomy, health profile, and aesthetic goals.
- All-on-4 — the Gold Standard for Same-Day Teeth
The All-on-4 technique places four implants strategically in each jaw… two in the front region and two angled posteriorly (typically up to 45°) to maximize contact with available bone. The angulation is biomechanically significant: it increases the spread between implants (anteroposterior distance), reduces cantilever forces, bypasses sinuses in the upper jaw and allows immediate loading without bone grafting in most cases. FMS has been performing All-on-4 procedures since 2008 and is among the most experienced All-on-4 centers in South Asia. - All-on-6 — Enhanced Stability and Load Distribution
For patients with good bone density who want maximum long-term stability, All-on-6 places six implants per jaw. The additional two implants mean better force distribution across the prosthesis, reduced stress on each individual implant and greater confidence in patients who are heavy chewers or have specific occlusal demands. All-on-6 is particularly well-suited for the lower jaw where bone quality is generally superior. - Zygomatic Implants — For Severe Bone Loss Cases
Some patients who come to FMS are told by other clinics that they are “not candidates” for implants due to severe bone loss, particularly in the upper jaw where the sinus cavity limits available bone. Dr. Shailaja Reddy’s specialization in zygomatic implants changes this equation entirely. Zygomatic implants anchor into the dense cheekbone (zygoma) rather than the upper jaw, bypassing the need for bone. This technique opens up Teeth in a Day to patients who had previously been excluded from it. - Pterygoid Implants
Another advanced technique in FMS’s arsenal, pterygoid implants anchor into the pterygoid bone in the posterior upper jaw, another dense bone structure that remains viable even when the standard implant site has poor quality. Like zygomatic implants, they allow full-arch rehabilitation without the extensive bone grafting that would otherwise be required.
Immediate Loading Implants (Teeth in 24 Hours)
For select cases where bone quality is excellent and implants achieve very high primary stability at the time of placement, FMS Dental can attach the provisional bridge on the same day as surgery, delivering teeth within hours. This is the most dramatic expression of the Teeth in a Day concept and represents the pinnacle of same-day implant dentistry.
Who Is a Candidate for Teeth in a Day?
Teeth in a Day at FMS Dental is suitable for a broader range of patients than most people realize. Thanks to advanced techniques like zygomatic and pterygoid implants, even patients who fail standard eligibility criteria at other clinics can often be treated at FMS.
Candidate Eligibility
Multiple Missing Teeth
If you are missing several or all teeth in one or both jaws, you are a strong candidate for All-on-4 or All-on-6 same-day implants.
Failing or Unhealthy Teeth
Teeth that are severely decayed, fractured or affected by advanced gum disease can be extracted and replaced with implant-supported teeth on the same day.
Denture Wearers
If you are tired of uncomfortable, loose or embarrassing removable dentures, Teeth in a Day gives you fixed teeth that you never remove.
Previous Failed Implants
FMS Dental regularly treats patients whose implants failed elsewhere. Dr. Shailaja Reddy’s diagnostic skills and advanced techniques address underlying causes.
Severe Bone Loss
Thanks to zygomatic and pterygoid implants, even patients with extreme bone loss who have been refused elsewhere can be successfully treated at FMS.
Older Adults
There is no upper age limit for Teeth in a Day. FMS has successfully treated patients in their 70s and 80s with full-arch implant rehabilitation.

Setting Realistic Expectations
Life Before and After Teeth in a Day
Immediately After Surgery (Day 1-3)
Some swelling, mild bruising and discomfort in the surgical area is normal and expected. The team at FMS prescribes appropriate pain management and antibiotics. You will have your fixed provisional teeth, but during the initial healing phase, you must stick to a soft diet: yogurt, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, soups and smoothies. No hard, crunchy or sticky foods.
First Month
Swelling reduces significantly within the first week. Most patients feel comfortable and are able to resume normal daily activities, including work, within 2–5 days post-surgery. The provisional bridge begins to feel natural. You can smile, speak and eat soft foods with growing confidence. At this stage, patients often describe the experience as “surreal”… eating with real, fixed teeth for the first time in years.
Months 2-6: Osseointegration
The implants silently fuse with your jawbone. You attend scheduled check-ups so the FMS team can monitor healing and make any adjustments to the provisional bridge. Gradually, you introduce firmer foods. Many patients are eating a broad, normal diet well before the 6-month mark.
Final Teeth Delivery (Month 3–6)
Once osseointegration is confirmed via examination and when needed, follow-up imaging, your final zirconia bridge is fabricated and seated. This is the moment patients consistently describe as one of the most emotional of their lives, seeing and feeling their permanent new teeth for the first time. The result is a natural, beautiful, permanent smile that is expected to last a lifetime with proper care.
Long-Term: Caring for Your Implants
Teeth in a Day implants are not maintenance-free, but the maintenance is simple and similar to caring for natural teeth. Twice-daily brushing with a soft-bristled brush, daily water flossing around the implant bridge, alcohol-free mouthwash rinse and professional check-ups every 6-12 months at FMS are all that is required. With this regime, properly placed implants can last 20-30 years or more.
