Teeth in a Day in Lorton
Residents of Lorton, a growing southern Fairfax County community near the Occoquan River and the Workhouse Arts Center, now have convenient access to expert teeth in a day care at Precision Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in nearby Alexandria. Teeth in a Day allows patients to receive dental implants and a full set of temporary teeth in a single appointment, dramatically reducing treatment time compared to traditional implant protocols.
Many of our teeth in a day patients travel from Lorton — a drive of only about 20 minutes — because they value the combination of periodontal expertise and personalized attention we provide. Traditional implant timelines can require months of waiting. This accelerated protocol lets you leave the office with functional, natural-looking teeth on the same day as your implant surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Teeth in a Day FAQ for Lorton Patients
Does 'Teeth in a Day' mean I walk out with permanent teeth in one visit?
You walk out with a full set of fixed temporary teeth attached to newly placed implants — functional and natural-looking. These temporary teeth are worn during the three to six month healing period while your implants integrate with the bone. Your permanent prosthesis (typically zirconia) is fabricated and delivered once integration is confirmed.
How are Teeth in a Day different from All-on-4?
Teeth in a Day describes the timeline — receiving functional teeth the same day as implant placement. All-on-4 describes the technique — using four strategically angled implants to support a full-arch prosthesis. All-on-4 is the most common method used to achieve Teeth in a Day, though some protocols use five or six implants.
Am I a candidate for Teeth in a Day?
Good candidates have sufficient bone density for immediate implant stability (measured during surgery with torque values), are in reasonable overall health, and ideally are non-smokers. Patients with severely compromised bone may need bone grafting first and a traditional staged approach. A CBCT scan and comprehensive evaluation determine candidacy.
What can I eat after getting Teeth in a Day?
For the first six to eight weeks, a soft-food diet is essential to allow the implants to integrate without excessive force. Smoothies, eggs, pasta, fish, and well-cooked vegetables are encouraged. Hard, crunchy, and sticky foods must be avoided until your permanent prosthesis is delivered. After that, you can eat virtually anything.
