Fixed teeth in one day
A four-to-six implant concept for edentulous jaws
Your new quality of life starts here
Would you like to laugh carefree again and eat without restrictions? Would you like an implant treatment that is completed quickly? Our practice specializes in complete restorations: We can provide both jaws – upper jaw and lower jaw – with fixed implant bridges in a single day of treatment. You leave our practice with fixed teeth that can be loaded immediately.
The problem: Bone loss due to tooth loss
In healthy teeth, the chewing forces are transferred to the jawbone through the roots. This mechanical load is important: it stimulates the bone and maintains its substance. However, if teeth are missing, this natural stimulation is lost. As a result, the jawbone recedes – a process that doctors refer to as resorption.
The more this bone loss progresses, the more problematic it becomes to wear a conventional full prosthesis. It no longer finds sufficient support. The consequences in everyday life are considerable: insecurity when chewing, unclear pronunciation and the constant worry that the prosthesis could slip – especially in social situations when laughing or talking.
The solution: Fixed full-arch restoration in one day
This is where our treatment approach comes in: Through the targeted use of a small number of implants in biomechanically optimal positions, we create a stable basis for permanently fixed dentures. The special feature: This restoration can be realized in just one day of treatment. The implants take over the function of natural tooth roots and thus prevent further bone loss.
Who is the four/six-implant concept suitable for?
The treatment concept is particularly suitable for patients in the following situations:
Toothless jaw
You already wear a full denture and would like a fixed alternative without a palatal plate and without the uncertainty of removable dentures.
Remaining teeth not worth saving
Your remaining teeth are severely damaged, loose or can no longer be saved due to periodontitis. Instead of spending years with problematic teeth, we can remove them and restore them directly with implants.
Ill-fitting prosthesis
Your full denture no longer has any support, causes pressure points and restricts your quality of life when eating, speaking and laughing.
Advanced bone resorption
Even with reduced bone availability – especially in the upper jaw – we can often achieve an immediate restoration by strategically placing the implants, often without additional bone augmentation.
Desire for immediate restoration
You don’t want to live for months without fixed teeth or with removable temporaries.
Individual clarification required
We will clarify whether the “fixed teeth in one day” concept is suitable for your personal situation in a detailed consultation with 3D diagnostics. We analyze your initial situation and show you all possible treatment options.
Arrange a consultation:
Optimum aesthetics and function
A fixed full-arch restoration is virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. You can choose the size and color yourself. With it, you can eat and laugh again.
Good price-performance ratio
Instead of replacing each tooth with its own implant, four to six implants per jaw are sufficient for fixed full-jaw restorations. This saves a lot of time and money.
Fast results
You'll go home on the very day of the implant procedure with new teeth and a beautiful smile. With this fixed full-arch restoration, you'll soon be able to eat normally again and enjoy life.
Proven process
The treatment concept has been used successfully worldwide for over 25 years. Studies confirm a long-term success rate of 98%. With good care, fixed full-jaw restorations can last a lifetime.
What does "fixed teeth in one day" mean?
“Fixed teeth in one day” – that is our promise to you. This is realized with a four/six-implant concept: instead of replacing each tooth individually, we only place four to six strategically placed implants per jaw. A fixed full-arch restoration is attached to these implants – a complete row of teeth that you receive on the day of treatment.
With just four to six implants, you receive an immediately loadable restoration. This modern surgical solution enables a fast, safe and cost-effective treatment procedure that provides you with fixed and esthetic teeth on the day of treatment.
Important to know:
On the day of treatment, you will receive a fixed temporary bridge that can be loaded immediately. After the healing phase of 3-6 months, this is replaced by your definitive, high-quality restoration from the dental laboratory.
When all teeth are missing: Fixed full-jaw restoration in one day
Fixed vs. removable restoration
Not sure which solution is right for you?
Fixed full-jaw restoration (“fixed teeth in one day”):
Screw-retained or cemented – cannot be removed by you, just like your own teeth. Offer maximum comfort and stability, but require professional cleaning in the dental practice.
The main difference: fixed dentures offer maximum stability and comfort, while removable implant-supported dentures are an excellent improvement over conventional dentures and offer the advantage of easy cleaning.
We will be happy to discuss which solution is best for you in a personal consultation – with transparent cost estimates for both options.
Removable implant-supported prostheses:
Removable for daily cleaning, but firmly anchored in the mouth by mechanical anchoring (locators, bars or telescopes). You can remove and clean the prosthesis yourself – this ensures optimum hygiene. It sits securely and firmly in the mouth thanks to the implants, without adhesive cream and without wobbling.
Only 4 to 6 implants for a strong bite
Usually four to six implants per jaw are required (occasionally additional implants in the upper jaw may be useful). Modern techniques such as 3D X-rays, Primescan and computer-aided planning enable a minimally invasive procedure and a quick recovery.
Advantages
Thanks to our fixed full-jaw restoration, you get immediate results and a natural chewing sensation. Our patients leave the practice with fixed teeth and can eat and smile normally again immediately. Experience a new quality of life immediately.

Consulting & Diagnostics
.
.
During a detailed consultation, we take the time to discuss your dental situation and treatment preferences with you.
We clarify the following questions together:
- What is the condition of your teeth and jaw?
- If there are still teeth in the jaw, is it worth keeping them?
- What is your general state of health?
- What treatment would you like?
- What is the best solution for your situation?
- Would you like to undergo treatment under anesthesia?
- Which type of anesthesia is right for you?
After a thorough diagnostic evaluation using 3D X-ray technology (⇢ DVT), we will present you with a treatment plan tailored to your needs, as well as any alternatives. We will discuss with you whether to treat your situation first with a temporary restoration and later with a permanent full-arch restoration.
Your optimal treatment and the possible alternatives are always planned individually for you and your situation by our specialists. You will receive a correspondingly tailored offer.
Finally, you decide on your treatment path and we implement it together with you.

Frequently asked questions
Four-to-six implant concept - fixed teeth in one day
Are there any risks associated with fixed full-arch restorations?
Every surgical procedure carries risks. Swelling, pain and sometimes infections can occur after the operation. Our highly specialized and experienced implantology team works in a minimally invasive manner and thus helps to minimize the risks as far as possible.
Can the restoration be fully loaded after insertion?
Yes, the temporary full-arch restoration you receive on the day of surgery can bear weight immediately. You can eat carefully with it as early as the first day. After a healing period of 3–6 months, it will be replaced by the permanent restoration, which will then be fully functional.
When can I return to sport after treatment?
You should avoid sports and physical exertion for a few days. Your treatment team will provide you with personalized advice on this matter.
How do you clean the fixed full-arch restoration?
A fixed full-arch restoration should be cleaned just as carefully as natural teeth. Pay special attention to thoroughly cleaning between your teeth using interdental brushes or dental floss. Our specially trained assistants will show you the correct technique.
How long does a fixed full-arch restoration last?
With careful maintenance and regular checkups, a fixed full-arch restoration—just like regular implants—can last a lifetime.
What alternatives are there to this solution?
If you have lost all your teeth and would like an implant-supported restoration but are unsure whether a fixed full-arch restoration is the right choice for you, there is a proven alternative:
Removable implant-supported prostheses
This solution offers a good balance between stability, comfort, and cost:
- Stability: Your denture is securely anchored by 2–4 implants per jaw (using Locators, bars, or telescopic attachments)
- No slipping: The mechanical anchoring eliminates the need for adhesive cream
- Removable: You can easily remove the denture for daily cleaning
- Existing Dentures: In many cases, your existing dentures can be adjusted
Key differences from the fixed solution:
| Fixed | Removable | |
|---|---|---|
| Holds in the mouth | Screwed in place, non-removable | Securely anchored, removable for cleaning |
| Number of implants | 4–6 per jaw | 2–4 per jaw |
| Comfort | Maximum stability | A significant improvement over standard dentures |
| Cleaning | Just like natural teeth | Removable, easy to clean |
Which solution is right for you?
During a one-on-one consultation, we’ll discuss both options with you in detail. We’ll explain the differences, provide transparent cost estimates for both options, and help you make the decision that’s best for you.
