Meet Dr. Parr and the Hybrid Implant Team

At Surf City Dental, Dr. Matthew Parr leads our renowned Hybrid Implant Team, a coordinated group of professionals known for full-arch restorations that combine surgical precision, restorative artistry, and genuine compassion.

Our Smile In A Day™ patients are cared for by a skilled team from consultation through final restoration, not handed off between providers or left to navigate the process alone. You arrive, you rest, and you leave with a new smile.

Fellowship-Trained Implant Planning at Surf City Dental

A completed fellowship in Dental Implantology backs Dr. Parr’s leadership of the Hybrid Implant Team, additional training beyond dental school focused specifically on implant placement and full-arch planning. That background is part of what makes same-day treatment possible: mapping four implants per arch with enough precision to attach a functional set of teeth on the day of surgery requires more than standard training, and it’s why Dr. Parr personally reviews every Smile In A Day™ case before it moves to surgery.

Dr. Parr brings advanced surgical skill to every case, paired with a patient-centered approach that keeps your comfort, long-term health, and natural-looking results at the center of every decision.

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 dental implants are implant-supported restorations that use four strategically placed titanium implants per arch to support a full set of replacement teeth. Rather than placing an individual implant for every missing tooth, the All-on-4 system uses four anchors, two placed vertically at the front of the arch and two placed at an angle toward the back, to maximize contact with available bone and support a complete prosthetic.

At Surf City Dental, this procedure is branded as Smile In A Day™ because for many patients, Dr. Parr can attach a full set of functional, natural-looking teeth the same day the implants are placed. You walk in with missing teeth and walk out with a new smile.

Benefits of All-on-4/Smile In A Day™ Restorations

Key benefits of All-on-4 implants include:

Permanent & Fixed In Place

Unlike removable dentures, your Smile In A Day™ restoration is anchored securely and does not slip, shift, or require adhesives.

Fewer Implants, Faster Treatment

Only four implants are needed per arch, reducing surgery time, recovery, and overall cost compared to replacing each tooth individually.

Same-Day Results

Most patients leave their procedure with a full, functional set of new teeth the very same day.

Bone Preservation

Implants stimulate the jawbone the way natural tooth roots do, preventing bone loss and the facial changes that occur with long-term tooth loss or traditional dentures.

Natural Appearance

Your custom prosthetic is designed to complement your facial structure, skin tone, and aesthetic goals, so results look like your own teeth, not a restoration.

Works for Lower Bone Density

The angled implant placement used in the All-on-4 system often eliminates the need for bone grafting, making Smile In A Day™ accessible to patients who may not qualify for traditional implants.

How Does Smile In A Day™ Differ from Traditional Dental Implants?

Both Smile In A Day™ and traditional dental implants replace missing teeth with strong, natural-looking results, but they differ significantly in how quickly and efficiently your new smile is completed.

Traditional dental implants typically require several months and multiple appointments. Implants are placed and allowed to fuse with the bone before the final teeth are attached. For patients replacing a full arch tooth by tooth, this process can span a year or more.

Smile In A Day™, also known as All-on-4 Hybrid Dentistry, streamlines this entire process. Using advanced planning and precise implant placement, Dr. Parr can often attach a full set of new teeth the same day your implants are placed. Think of it this way: instead of an individual implant for every tooth, four strategically placed anchors support an entire arch, whether that’s the top, the bottom, or both.

Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-4 Implant Dentistry?

Smile In A Day™ is an excellent option for many patients dealing with significant tooth loss, though a thorough consultation is the only way to confirm candidacy. You may be a strong candidate if you:

  • Are missing most or all of your teeth in one or both arches
  • Wear dentures that feel uncomfortable, slip, or limit what you can eat
  • Have reduced jawbone density and want to avoid bone grafting if possible
  • Are in good overall health without uncontrolled medical conditions that affect healing
  • Want a permanent, long-term solution rather than a temporary fix
  • Are ready to eat, speak, and smile confidently again

Some factors may require additional evaluation or preparatory treatment, including active gum disease, severe bone loss, or current tobacco use. Even if you’ve been told elsewhere that you’re not a candidate for implants, Dr. Parr may still be able to help.

The strategically angled placement used in the All-on-4 system has made Smile In A Day™ possible for many patients who were once told their only option was traditional dentures.

The Smile In A Day™ Procedure

Initial Consultation

Your same-day dental implant process begins with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Parr will review your medical and dental history, perform a clinical exam, and take 3D imaging and digital scans to assess your bone structure and oral health. Together, you’ll discuss your goals and develop a customized treatment plan.

Treatment Planning

Using advanced 3D imaging technology, our team maps out the placement of your four implants to maximize stability, minimize healing time, and deliver the most natural-looking result possible.

Implant Surgery

The Smile In A Day™ procedure is performed under local anesthesia, oral sedation, or IV sedation based on your comfort and preference. During surgery, any remaining teeth are extracted if necessary, four titanium implants are placed at strategic positions in the jawbone, and a temporary prosthetic bridge is secured to the implants, so you leave with a functional smile the same day.

Healing and Osseointegration

Over the next three to six months, your implants fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration, creating the permanent foundation your final restoration will rest on. During this period, you’ll follow a soft-food diet and attend follow-up visits so our team can monitor your healing.

Recovery typically follows this timeline:

  • First 48 Hours: Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal and manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter medication
  • First Week: Soft foods only, such as soups, smoothies, and mashed potatoes, to avoid placing pressure on healing implants
  • First Month: Light activity and careful oral hygiene as directed by Dr. Parr
  • Three to Six Months: Full osseointegration is complete, and you’re ready for your permanent restoration

Final Restoration

Once healing is confirmed, your temporary bridge is replaced with your permanent, custom-crafted Smile In A Day™ prosthetic, designed for long-term durability, natural aesthetics, and a seamless fit.

Caring for Your Smile In A Day™ Restoration

Your All-on-4 restoration is designed for long-term use, and with the right maintenance routine, it can last for many years.

  • image of waterpik next to sink, a dental tool used to make flossing hard to reach places and restorations like dental implants easierBrush twice daily, paying special attention to the gum line where the prosthetic meets your tissue
  • Use a water flosser or interdental brushes daily to clean beneath the prosthetic bridge, where traditional floss may not reach
  • Schedule professional cleanings and checkups every six months so our team can monitor bone levels and implant stability
  • Avoid chewing on extremely hard foods, ice, or objects that place excessive force on your restoration
  • Avoid tobacco products, which significantly increase the risk of implant failure and peri-implantitis
  • Contact our office promptly if you notice any looseness, discomfort, swelling, or bleeding around your implants

Cost and Financing for All-on-4/Smile In A Day™

The cost of Smile In A Day™ varies based on your individual treatment needs, materials selected, and whether any preparatory procedures such as tooth extractions or bone grafting are required. On average, All-on-4 full-arch replacement ranges from $15,000 to $30,000 per arch.

Factors that affect total cost include the number of arches being treated, prosthetic material (zirconia restorations are more durable but carry a higher cost than acrylic), the need for extractions or grafting, and sedation preferences.

We offer flexible payment plans and work with third-party financing options to make Smile In A Day™ treatment accessible. Some dental insurance plans cover a portion of implant-related treatment, and we verify your benefits and file all claims on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Because Smile In A Day™ restorations are fixed in place and designed to function like natural teeth, most patients adapt quickly to eating and speaking normally. Some patients notice a brief adjustment period, particularly with speech, but this typically resolves within a few weeks.

In many cases, yes. The angled placement used in the All-on-4 system is specifically designed to take advantage of available bone volume, often eliminating the need for grafting that would otherwise be required for traditional individual implants. Dr. Parr will evaluate your bone structure with 3D imaging during your consultation.

Brush twice daily and use a water flosser or interdental brushes to clean beneath the prosthetic bridge. Regular professional cleanings are also important for monitoring implant health and removing buildup in areas that are harder to reach at home.

Much like standard All-on-4, this method attaches a complete set of teeth to four implants in one surgical appointment. What makes it different is the proprietary digital planning behind it, which allows patients to leave with temporary teeth that already match their exact bite, well before the final permanent bridge is placed.  At Surf City Dental, your entire experience, from consultation and surgical placement to restoration fabrication and follow-up care, is managed by Dr. Parr and our Hybrid Implant Team under one roof.
