When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants are widely considered the most natural-looking and long-lasting solution. You may have heard the term “teeth in a day” used in reference to implant treatment.
The goal behind “teeth in a day” is to make sure that you don't have to live a single day without some kind of teeth in your mouth. Of course, that doesn’t mean that your dental team will prepare your dental implants in a hurry.
In reality, there is plenty of pre-operative work and post-operative care involved.
At Norge Dental Center, we prioritize quality, safety, and long-term success over rushed results. While we ensure you are never without a smile, we also make sure every step of your treatment is carefully planned and executed for the best outcome.
“Teeth in a day” refers to temporary tooth placement following implant surgery, not a fully completed final restoration.
Dental implants require healing time and multiple stages to ensure proper integration with the jawbone. This process is essential for long-term stability and function.
We guide patients step by step through the creation of the right “look” for their face. We use digital imaging in order to blend implants naturally with your teeth. Our expertise supports you through the preparation, procedure, and post-operative care involved with dental implants - but the final look is about what you want.
Dental implants will improve the way your smile looks, but that’s not all we’re looking for. We want dental implants to support your overall health and the functionality of your teeth. When dental implants are done well, they will do more than look great - they will also restore how you eat, laugh, and speak.
We’re also going to ensure your jaw is ready for a dental implant. Patients with bone deterioration may need a pre-implant procedure to place a titanium post where the tooth is missing. This bonds with bone to create a strong foundation for the implant.
Our goal is to ensure your comfort. The experience is painless - and many of our patients even find it relaxing. However, we understand that some patients feel uneasy during dental procedures.
We offer sedation options based on your needs, and our friendly staff is also here to answer any questions, ease your concerns, and help you feel confident and comfortable throughout your care.

We hear some version of this pretty regularly at Norge Dental Center. A patient gets settled in the chair and, before we’ve even had a chance to take a look, says, “I’m sorry, I know my teeth are a mess,” or, “Please don’t judge me, I haven’t been to the dentist in years.”Sometimes they laugh when they say it, but we can usually tell they’re genuinely embarrassed. They may have put off making the appointment because of it, and by the time they finally come in, they’ve already imagined all the things we might say about their teeth.Here’s what we wish those patients knew before they ever walked through our doors: you don’t need to apologize to us.
