What 'same day teeth' really means (and what most clinics won't tell you)
If you've been researching same day dental implants, you've probably seen plenty of clinics promising "teeth in a day." What most of them actually deliver is temporary teeth on the day of surgery, followed by a 3-6 month wait for your permanent set.
That's not a bad outcome. Temporary teeth work. But they come with restrictions: soft food diets, fragile materials, and a second appointment to swap everything out.
At Dental by Design, we do something different. Our Vivo Bridge system delivers your final, permanent teeth within 48 hours of implant placement. Not temporaries. Your actual teeth, made from nano-hybrid ceramic, designed and manufactured in-house by our own lab team.

2,500+ patients have received permanent teeth within 48 hours at Dental by Design
Our in-house Vivo Dental Lab is the UK's largest, with technicians working alongside surgeons in real time. This is why we can deliver permanent results in a timeframe other clinics simply cannot match.
Your 48-Hour Timeline
Here's exactly what happens, hour by hour
Morning: consultation and 3D planning
You arrive for your free consultation. We take a 3D CBCT scan, assess bone density, and design your treatment plan digitally. If you're a candidate, surgery can be scheduled within weeks.
Surgery: implants placed
4-6 implants are placed under local anaesthesia (or IV sedation if preferred). Precise digital impressions are taken immediately and sent to our in-house Vivo Lab.
Vivo Lab: your permanent teeth are made
While you rest at home, our lab team designs, mills, and hand-finishes your permanent bridge from nano-hybrid ceramic. No outsourcing. No shipping delays. Everything happens under one roof.
Fitting: permanent teeth attached
You return and your permanent teeth are fitted and adjusted for perfect bite and aesthetics. You walk out with your final smile. No temporaries to swap out later.
Follow-up and aftercare
A quick check to ensure everything is healing well and your bite is perfect. After that, regular check-ups keep your implants in top condition for life.
Total estimated treatment time: 48 hours from implant placement to permanent teeth
Why We Can Do What Other Clinics Can't
The secret is owning our own lab
In-House Lab
Most clinics send impressions to external labs and wait 2-4 weeks. Our Vivo Dental Lab is on-site. Your bridge is designed, milled, and finished in hours, not weeks.
Surgeon-Lab Collaboration
Our technicians work alongside your surgeon in real time. If adjustments are needed, they happen immediately. No back-and-forth, no communication gaps.
Direct Savings
No middleman markup. Owning the lab means we control quality and cost. That's how we offer full arch implants from £6,995 when others charge £12,000+.
Questions About Same Day Implants
"Is it safe to load implants with permanent teeth so quickly?"
This is a valid clinical question. Traditional protocols wait 3-6 months before loading implants because the bone needs time to fuse with the titanium post (osseointegration).
Immediate loading is clinically proven when done correctly. Our protocols use specific implant placement techniques, torque measurements, and bridge design that distribute forces evenly during healing. Our 99% success rate across 2,500+ cases confirms the safety of this approach.
"What if I don't have enough bone for immediate implants?"
Bone loss from missing teeth, gum disease, or long-term denture use can reduce available bone. Some patients worry this rules out same day treatment.
Most patients still qualify. All-on-4 techniques use angled implants to maximise contact with existing bone. In some cases, minor bone grafting can be done at the same time as implant placement. Your 3D scan will give us a clear answer.
"I'm nervous about having everything done so fast"
The idea of implants and permanent teeth in 48 hours can feel rushed. Some patients prefer the idea of a more gradual process.
Speed doesn't mean shortcuts. The implant placement itself follows the same careful protocols as traditional treatment. The difference is simply that we make your teeth faster because we own the lab. If you'd prefer a more gradual timeline, we offer that too. Sedation options are available for patients who feel anxious about the procedure.
"How does the cost compare to traditional implants?"
You might expect same day permanent teeth to cost more than the traditional route. After all, it seems like a premium service.
It actually costs less. Because we skip the temporary teeth phase and do everything in-house, there's no cost for temporary prosthetics, no second fitting appointment, and no lab outsourcing fees. Full arch from £6,995 with 0% finance from £28/month. See our funding options.

Same Day Dental Implants: Your Questions Answered
What does 'same day dental implants' actually mean?
At most clinics, 'same day' means you get temporary teeth on the day of surgery, then wait 3-6 months for permanent ones. At Dental by Design, our Vivo Bridge system delivers your final, permanent teeth within 48 hours. No temporaries. No second surgery to swap them out.
How can you fit permanent teeth in 48 hours when other clinics take months?
We own the UK's largest in-house dental laboratory, Vivo Dental Lab. While other clinics send impressions to external labs and wait weeks, our technicians work alongside your surgeon in real time. Your permanent bridge is designed, milled, and fitted within 48 hours of implant placement.
Are same day implants as strong as traditional implants?
Yes. The implants themselves are identical. The difference is in how quickly we can attach permanent teeth. Our 99% success rate across 2,500+ Vivo Bridge cases confirms that immediate loading with permanent teeth is both safe and effective when done with proper protocols.
Am I a candidate for same day dental implants?
Most patients are candidates. The key factors are adequate bone density and good general health. Even patients with moderate bone loss often qualify thanks to techniques like All-on-4, which uses angled implants to maximise available bone. A free 3D scan at your consultation will confirm your eligibility.
What's the cost of same day dental implants?
Full arch same day implants with Vivo Bridge start from £6,995. This includes the implants, surgery, and your permanent bridge. No hidden costs for temporary teeth or a second fitting appointment. We offer 0% finance from £28/month. See our full cost guide for details.
What can I eat after same day implant surgery?
With Vivo Bridge permanent teeth, you can eat soft foods on the same day. Within 2-3 weeks, most patients return to a normal diet. Because you receive permanent teeth (not temporaries), there's no dietary restriction phase while waiting for a final restoration. Within 6-8 weeks, you can eat anything.

Having priced up the same implants on the South Coast I found Dental by Design a lot cheaper . I had my whole top jaw teeth replaced by Dr. Mechoui having been worried by the process I found him and the surgery excellent at making me feel relaxed and informed at all stages. The finished result has exceeded my expectations and I would thoroughly recommend Dental by design to anybody who is thinking about the process. Ps they don’t look anything like’Turkey’ teeth, very natural looking and feeling.

Absolutely amazing cant recommend dental by design enough from the receptionists to the doctors all are very welcoming and top tier of there profession 11/10 service they have changed my life.

I visited plenty of dental practice before I came to see DBD. They all gave me the sweet talk and complications in having it done. I felt like, with all the complications, it’s not worth going through it. For every complications, there’s a corresponding charge. With DBD, everything was straight forward. On my free assessment, Dr Rob gave me lots of encouragement and reassurance. On the day of my procedure, nurse Elisa and Dr Rob made me feel at home and the feeling of outmost care. The receptionist were all very nice and they new my name as I entered the door. Isabella was so caring even with the aftercare calls. Overall, my experience with them has been well worth it in terms of affordability, skills, quality of care and the friendly and clean atmosphere. I will definitely spread the news about DBD.
