Next Dental Ep 6: Teeth in a Day — Full-Arch Implants, Dubai

DUBAI, UAE — 7 November 2025 — What if you could land in Dubai in the morning and leave with a fixed, full-arch smile the same week—sometimes the same day? Next Dental unveils the playbook in Episode 6: “Teeth in a Day”, featuring Dr. Costa (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon) and Dr. Petros (Specialist Prosthodontist)—co-founders of Same Day Dental Clinic, Dubai, and co-directors of the Brånemark Osseointegration Center and ZAGA Center Dubai.

“We adapt implants to theavailable bonerather than creating bone for implants,” says Dr. Costa. “With the right training, team, and tech under one roof, teeth-in-a-day becomes routine.”“Primary stability is the key,” adds Dr. Petros. “Highinsertion torque, osseodensification to ‘harden’ soft bone, and intraoral photogrammetry for truly passive-fitprostheses are what make immediate loading predictable.”

Inside the Episode

The fly-in workflow: remote consult → CBCT & plan → surgery → same-day temporaries → zirconia finals in 2–3 days (full-arch) or same-day for a single crown.
Why immediate loading works: torque-driven primary stability; when to load now vs. delay.
Making soft bone “harder”: reverse-drilling (osseodensification) to increase osteotomy density and torque.
Precision fit, fewer remakes: intraoral photogrammetry captures true 3D implant positions for passive-fit frameworks.
When bone is “gone”: ZAGA (Zygoma Anatomy-Guided Approach) planning, 3-D printed model surgery, and remote anchorage (e.g., zygoma/other posterior maxillary sites) to avoid mega-grafts.
The one-roof advantage: surgeon + prosth + fully-digital lab (printing, milling, fast-sintering furnaces) in-house.
Anxiety handled: local anesthesia, oral conscious sedation in-clinic, or full GA at a partner hospital—patients often don’t remember the procedure.
What’s next: robotic implant placement guided by digital planning—with surgeon override when anatomy demands analog judgment.

Echoing Prof. P-I Brånemark’s ethos, Dr. Costa notes: “A patient should not die with their teeth sitting in a glass of water. Today’s knowledge and technology let us change that—in days.”
