Teeth-in-a-Day at FMS Dental is performed for both full-mouth rehabilitation as well as for single tooth replacement. Teeth-in-a-Day is offered for full mouth rehabilitation where all teeth are replaced in a single treatment visit and also for many single-tooth restorations, particularly front teeth, where patients walk in without a tooth and walk out the same day with a natural-looking provisional fixed replacement.
At FMS, the standard protocol delivers provisional fixed teeth immediately after implant placement, allowing the gums to heal properly. After a few months, once healing is complete, permanent fixed teeth are placed. This approach is supported either by a precision surgical guide or, for patients who are already fully edentulous, by modifying their existing dentures on the same day at FMS's in-house digital dental lab, making the process faster, more predictable and truly seamless.

Yes, Teeth-in-a-Day can be given to all patients undergoing full mouth rehabilitation, provided a surgical guide is used. The surgical guide is what makes same-day fixed teeth reliably possible, because it allows the prosthesis to be pre-fabricated before surgery begins.
However, patients should be aware that when guided surgery is chosen, the overall cost increases. This is because two additional elements are required: a guided surgical template (custom-made for your specific anatomy using 3D CBCT data) and a guided provisional prosthesis (your teeth, pre-fabricated in the in-house FMS Dental lab before you enter the operating chair). Both add real clinical value and extra cost as well.
At FMS Dental, Teeth-in-a-Day is routinely performed for all fully edentulous patients and also for those who have teeth. In straightforward edentulous cases, a surgical guide may always be required, the clinical Implantology team assesses this on a case-by-case basis.
One important limitation that patients should know about: with Teeth-in-a-Day, you cannot preview how your teeth will look before they are fixed in place. Because the teeth are designed and fabricated using advanced AI and digital planning before surgery, your personal preferences including, the shape, the shade or the specific characteristics you have in mind for your smile, may not always be captured perfectly in advance. These finer aesthetic details can only truly be refined when a try-in is given.
Patients who already have an existing denture can often receive their fixed teeth on the same day the implants are placed, because their tooth positions are already established. For patients with no denture and no remaining teeth, teeth are typically delivered within 48 to 72 hours, after the try-in step is completed.
Yes, absolutely. Teeth-in-a-Day is not limited to full-arch or full-mouth cases. It can also be provided for individual single-tooth replacements and this is done frequently at FMS Dental, particularly for front teeth. In many cases, patients walk into the clinic without a front tooth and walk out the same day with a fixed provisional tooth that looks entirely natural.
The typical protocol for a front tooth is: immediately after extraction, a provisional fixed tooth is placed on the implant. This temporary tooth looks and functions like a natural tooth, allowing the surrounding gum tissue to heal and shape naturally. After a few months, once the gum has fully healed and the implant has integrated, a permanent fixed tooth is placed as the final restoration.
Yes, but it is important to understand what those advantages are and what they are not.
The primary advantages of Teeth-in-a-Day are cosmetic and functional: you maintain your appearance without any gap in your smile and your ability to speak normally (phonetics) is preserved from day one. For patients in professional or social environments, or those who simply cannot bear being without teeth even for a few weeks, Teeth-in-a-Day is genuinely life-changing.
However, it is equally important to be honest: conventional implant treatment, where the permanent teeth are delivered after 3 to 6 months of healing, is clinically safer, more predictable and carries a higher long-term success rate. There are no restrictions during that healing period; the implant integrates without any loading or pressure.
With Teeth-in-a-Day, there are certain restrictions that patients must follow carefully, particularly around diet (soft foods only during the healing phase), oral hygiene practices and avoiding habits that place excessive force on the new teeth. Patient cooperation during this period is essential to the success of the treatment.
The ideal candidates for Teeth-in-a-Day are patients who are fully edentulous, meaning they have no remaining teeth at the time of surgery, in one or both arches. This includes patients already wearing dentures who want their teeth made permanently fixed, as well as those who have had all failing teeth removed and are starting fresh.
The most important clinical requirement at FMS Dental is that a surgical guide is used. This is non-negotiable and applies to all cases, as the surgical guide is what makes pre-fabricated same-day prosthetics possible.
The key limitation of Teeth-in-a-Day is that patients cannot preview their final aesthetic result before the teeth are fixed. Because the prosthesis is designed digitally and fabricated before surgery, individual smile preferences or unique characteristics may need adjustment later.
Additionally, the patient must commit to following specific post-operative care instructions, dietary restrictions, careful hygiene and avoiding pressure on the teeth, throughout the healing period.
Patients with active infection, uncontrolled diabetes or severe bone loss may need additional treatment before becoming suitable candidates, though many such patients can still be treated at FMS with the appropriate preparation.
The FMS Teeth-in-a-Day protocol is built around one non-negotiable foundation: a surgical guide is always used.
A 3D CBCT scan maps your bone density, nerve pathways and sinus positions with sub-millimetre accuracy.
Using specialist planning software, the implantologist designs the exact position, angle and depth of every implant before any surgery begins.
A custom surgical guide is then fabricated, a precision template made specifically for your mouth that physically directs every drill and every implant to the exact pre-planned position during surgery.
Simultaneously, the FMS in-house digital dental lab fabricates your provisional teeth, made possible because the implant positions are already known from the digital plan.
During surgery, the guide directs implant placement with precision. Once the implants are placed, the pre-fabricated provisional teeth are attached immediately.
After a few months of healing and osseointegration, your final permanent teeth, typically high-strength zirconia are fitted.
Conventional dental implants, placed and left to integrate fully before loading, remain the gold standard in terms of predictability and long-term success. There is extensive clinical data spanning decades showing their reliability.
Teeth-in-a-Day, by introducing immediate loading, fixed teeth placed on implants before osseointegration is complete, does carry a slightly higher degree of clinical sensitivity. However, when all protocols are followed correctly and patients adhere to the post-operative guidelines, the success rates at FMS Dental are very high and comparable to conventional approaches for suitable patients.
The reality, as our Implantologits openly acknowledge, is that modern life does not always allow patients to go without teeth for three to six months. Teeth-in-a-Day was developed precisely for these patients. If the instructions are followed and at FMS, patients are guided through every stage of this... Teeth-in-a-Day can be a highly successful, life-changing solution.
Any quality implant system can be used for Teeth-in-a-Day, there is no single implant brand that is exclusively required for the procedure. What matters most is the surgical planning, the precision of the surgical guide and the experience of the implantology team.

Dental implantology in India has matured significantly over the past three decades, with a small number of clinicians and institutions setting the clinical benchmark through sustained, long-term practice. Among them, FMS Dental stands out as one of the pioneering centers, with a track record spanning over 25 years.
Dr. Shailaja Reddy, who began performing dental implants in 1999, is recognized as one of the early adopters of implant dentistry in India. Her clinical practice has evolved alongside the specialty itself, encompassing conventional implants, full-mouth rehabilitation, and advanced protocols such as All-on-4, Zygomatic and Pterygoid implants for patients with severe bone loss.
What distinguishes genuine expertise in this field is not individual practice alone, but a multidisciplinary team structure. At FMS Dental, this includes:
This team has collectively been active in implantology for over two decades, with a structured approach to case follow-up, complication management, and continuous clinical upgrading in line with evolving global protocols.
True expertise in dental implantology is demonstrated through:
FMS Dental's model reflects these principles, combining NABH-accredited clinical standards with an in-house CAD-CAM lab and a specialist team spanning surgery, prosthodontics, and technical fabrication.
FMS introduced immediate-load implant protocols to Hyderabad before the procedure became mainstream. In 2008, FMS established South India's first dedicated All-on-4 Dental Implant Protocol and in 2011, the Zygomatic Implant Programme — enabling patients with severe bone loss who were previously told implants were impossible to receive Teeth-in-a-Day treatment without bone grafting.
Today, FMS International Dental Center in Jubilee Hills is the largest dedicated implant facility in South India, NABH accredited, #1 GCR rated in India, #5 GCR rated in the world, and serving patients from multiple countries.

The difference between implant treatment at a general dental clinic and a dedicated implant centre is not marginal. It is fundamental.
FMS Dental was founded in 1993 with implantology as its core discipline. The first implant was placed in 1999. Teeth-in-a-Day protocols have been practised here for over 25 years — this is not a new offering.
FMS implant surgeons are specialist-trained oral implantologists. Dr. Shailaja Reddy, the Chief Implantologist at FMS Dental is a nationally recognised authority with international faculty positions and a published clinical research track record.
Every Teeth-in-a-Day case at FMS is planned using 3D CBCT and a custom surgical guide. No guesswork. No freehand improvisation. Sub-millimetre precision is the standard, not an upgrade.
FMS operates its own dental laboratory at the Jubilee Hills centre. Your prosthesis is fabricated on-site while surgery happens. This is what makes genuine same-day delivery possible — no outsourcing, no delays.
Since 2011, FMS has operated South India's first Zygomatic Implant Programme. Patients previously told "no bone — no implants" are frequently treated successfully at FMS without bone grafting, and with same-day or 72-hour teeth.
Anxious patients can undergo Teeth in a Day under conscious sedation or, for complex cases, general anaesthesia in FMS's hospital-grade facility — a level of care very few dental clinics can offer.
FMS offers a lifetime warranty on the implant hardware. This commitment reflects the confidence FMS places in both its surgical technique and the implant systems it selects.
FMS has a dedicated International Patient Customer Care team supporting patients from across India and many countries with treatment coordination, travel and accommodation — enabling single-trip Teeth-in-a-Day visits.
A 3D CBCT scan at FMS Dental is the definitive way to confirm candidacy. As a clinical guide:
The Multi-disciplinary Implant Team behind Teeth-In-A-Day at FMS Dental
All-on-4 dental implant cases involve anatomy that extends beyond implant placement — sinus cavities, cranial base structures and complex occlusal loading. FMS having Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, Prosthodontists and experienced implantologists plan together for delivering better end results. At FMS Dental, complex surgical decisions are reviewed jointly before the patient enters the operating room.
Everything that happens from your first scan to walking out with fixed teeth — and beyond.
A full oral examination and 3D CT scan maps your bone density, volume, nerve pathways and sinus positions with sub-millimetre accuracy.
45–60 minThe implantologist plans each implant position — angle, depth and diameter — on specialist software. Implant positions are finalised before any surgery begins.
Pre-surgeryA precision template, custom-made for your mouth, is 3D-printed or milled. This guide physically directs every drill and implant to the exact planned position during surgery.
Lab fabricationYour FMS in-house dental laboratory fabricates the provisional prosthesis before surgery begins — made possible because implant positions are already known from the digital plan.
ConcurrentUnder local anaesthesia or sedation, the surgical guide directs implant placement. 4–6 implants are placed to exact pre-planned positions. Zygomatic or pterygoid implants used where bone is limited.
2–4 hoursThe pre-fabricated provisional prosthesis is attached to the implants immediately. You leave the clinic with fixed, non-removable teeth. Soft diet for initial weeks; normal eating after osseointegration.
Same dayAnswers written for precision — the exact questions patients and AI assistants surface about Teeth in a Day.
Teeth in a Day refers to a specific clinical scenario: the placement of dental implants and the delivery of a fixed prosthesis — teeth you cannot remove — within a single treatment episode. The procedure is enabled by pre-surgical 3D CBCT scanning, digital implant planning, and a custom surgical guide that physically directs every drill and every implant to the exact pre-planned position. Because implant positions are known in advance to within fractions of a millimetre, the provisional teeth can be pre-fabricated and attached to the implants immediately upon placement. At FMS International Dental Center, Hyderabad, this has been standard clinical practice since 1999.
True same-day delivery is clinically achievable in two scenarios: (1) a patient who is fully edentulous and wearing a removable denture — the denture is converted and fixed to the implants the same day; (2) a fully toothless patient with no denture — a complete digitally planned full-arch prosthesis is attached to the implants upon placement. In both cases, the patient must be fully edentulous (no remaining teeth) at the time of surgery. Patients with teeth that need to be extracted on the day of surgery may receive their fixed teeth within 72 hours rather than the same day.
At FMS Dental in Hyderabad, Teeth in a Day is available across three implant tiers:
Essential (GenXT): ₹3,50,000 per arch onwards
Premium (Alpha Bio/Osstem): ₹4,00,000 per arch onwards
Elite (Nobel Biocare / Straumann BLX): ₹5,00,000 per arch onwards
All prices include CBCT scanning, digital planning, surgical guide fabrication, implant surgery, provisional prosthesis fitted the same day, and standard follow-up care. A personalised quote is provided during your consultation.
In two circumstances — when bone grafting is required alongside implant placement, or when a free-hand surgical technique is necessary — the fixed provisional teeth are delivered within 72 hours rather than the same day. In both cases, the patient leaves with a plan, a date and a commitment. Even in complex cases at FMS Dental, the patient receives a fixed, non-removable smile within three days — compared to 3-6 months with conventional implant treatment.
GenXT is FDA-cleared Swiss implant system with 15+ years of clinical data and extensive Eurpoean patient evidence — offering reliable performance at the most accessible price point.
Alpha Bio/Osstem are Israeli/Korean CE-certified system with proven osseointegration outcomes, well-suited for patients with good bone seeking quality results at a mid-range investment.
Nobel Biocare is a Swiss-Swedish premium system with 50+ years of global clinical documentation, TiUltra/TiZr surface technology, and lifetime manufacturer records. Straumann BLX is specifically engineered for immediate loading, with a conical connection designed for primary stability in fresh extraction sockets. FMS Dental offers all three, with the surgeon recommending the appropriate system based on bone anatomy, case complexity and patient goals.
Guided implant surgery is fundamentally more resource-intensive than conventional treatment. The additional cost covers: CBCT 3D scanning and specialist interpretation; licensed digital planning software; custom surgical guide fabrication; pre-fabricated provisional prosthetics produced in a professional dental laboratory; and a multidisciplinary team (implantologist, prosthodontist, technician) working in concert on the same day. Each element incurs an additional cost that reflects real value. The alternative — conventional implants — costs less upfront but requires 3-6 months of waiting, multiple appointments, and temporary removable solutions in between.
The surgical guide is the cornerstone that makes same-day delivery reliably achievable. It is a precision-engineered, patient-specific template fabricated from 3D CBCT data. During surgery it physically directs every drill and every implant to the exact pre-planned position — angle, depth and diameter — to within fractions of a millimetre. Because implant positions are known in advance with this precision, the provisional prosthesis can be pre-fabricated in the laboratory before surgery begins, and attached immediately when the implants are placed. Without the surgical guide, implant positions cannot be predicted with sufficient certainty to pre-fabricate the prosthesis — and same-day delivery is not reliably achievable.
