Teeth in a Day in Salina, KS
Full-Arch Implants in a Single Visit
Walk in struggling with failing or missing teeth. Walk out the same day with a full, fixed set of teeth you can smile with. That's what Teeth in a Day makes possible at New Horizons Dental Implant Center in Salina — Dr. Guy Gross will look at your situation and tell you honestly what's possible.
What "Teeth in a Day" Really Means
There's a lot of marketing out there that makes this sound like you just show up one morning and walk out done. We'll be straight with you: the magic of a single surgery day comes from careful planning in the days leading up to it. When that planning is skipped, look out.
Here's the honest version. On surgery day, we remove any failing teeth, place your implants, and attach a fixed set of temporary teeth — all in one visit, so you never go without teeth. Those first teeth are a provisional restoration. Your body then needs time to do its part: the bone literally grows and locks onto the implants, the same way a hip replacement integrates with the leg bone, except we don't glue anything in — biology does the bonding. That usually takes about three to four months. Once you're fully healed, we craft and fit your final, customized smile.
So you leave surgery day with teeth and your confidence back; the finished result comes a few months later, built to last.
One Surgeon, One Roof — From Surgery to Final Smile
No bouncing between offices
Most patients getting implants get bounced around: a general dentist sends you to a surgeon for the placement, then back to someone else for the teeth. When something doesn't line up between the two, you're caught in the middle. We do it differently. Dr. Guy handles both the surgical and the prosthetic side of your case, and the same team carries you all the way through under one roof. If a question comes up while we're building your teeth, the person who placed your implants is right here to handle it.
A center built for exactly this work
Our implant center is built for exactly this work — real surgical chairs, surgical lighting, and rooms set up for both implant placement and restoration. It's a focused, quieter space, separate from the busy general practice, which matters when you're having sedation.

If the idea of this makes you nervous, you're in good company. Many of our longer surgical cases use conscious sedation — our go-to. Most patients tell us it felt like they took a nap and barely remember being here. We also offer nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") for a lighter option you can drive yourself home from, and for medically complex patients we can bring in an anesthetist. We'll match the right level of comfort to you.

Good candidates are people facing the loss of most or all of their teeth, or who've already lost them and are tired of dentures that never feel stable. Whether we can deliver fixed teeth the very same day depends on your bone and overall health — there has to be enough strong foundation to support that immediately. If you smoke, are diabetic, or tend to heal slowly, we're deliberately cautious about loading implants right away, because rushing it adds more risk than it's worth. In those cases we still get you through with teeth, just on a plan built to protect your long-term result.
The best first step is a conversation. We'll look at where your health and function are now, where you want them to be, and what fits your budget, then map an honest path between the two. Not sure if full-arch is the answer? Compare implants vs. dentures.

Meet Dr. Guy GrossWhat This Could Mean for You
We have patients who came in hiding their mouths behind their hand, embarrassed, avoiding dinners out. We've watched those same people walk out grinning ear to ear, family cheering them on, and come back to tell us about meals they can finally enjoy and confidence they hadn't felt in years. Those moments are why we do this work.

Teeth in a Day FAQs
Can I really get teeth in one day?
In most cases, yes — we place your implants and attach a full set of fixed temporary teeth the same day, so you don't leave without teeth. Your final, custom set is typically completed a few months later, once everything has integrated.
Does Dr. Guy do both the surgery and the new teeth?
Yes. Dr. Guy handles both the implant surgery and the restoration, and our team carries you through the entire process under one roof — no being referred out and bounced between offices.
How long until I have my permanent teeth?
After surgery, the bone needs time to grow around and lock onto the implants — usually about three to four months, depending on your health. You wear fixed temporary teeth during that time, then we craft and fit your final smile.
Will I be put to sleep for the procedure?
We offer several levels of comfort, most commonly conscious sedation, where patients feel like they simply napped through it. We'll recommend the right option based on your case and how you feel about treatment.
I've been told I don't have enough bone. Can you still help?
Often, yes. Dr. Guy has advanced training in bone regeneration and handles complex cases routinely. We'll evaluate your situation and, if needed, build the foundation so implants can succeed.
What does Teeth in a Day cost?
It varies with the number of implants and the work your case requires. We'll review your options and costs clearly before treatment, and we accept most major dental insurance and offer financing.
