Easy 4-Step Process
4 Simple and Proven Steps For Your Smile Transformation at MDI.
At Michiana Dental Implants, we believe in a simple, proven process to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Our 4-step journey is designed to be straightforward, comfortable, and predictable, ensuring you feel confident every step of the way. From your initial consultation to the moment you see your brand-new smile, we’re here to guide you through the entire transformation.
Step 1: Initial Records
Designing Your Ideal Smile
At your consultation, we’ll take detailed images of your current smile and teeth. Using advanced digital scans and our Smile Design Software, we’ll work with you to create the smile you’ve always dreamed of. These records are then sent to the Hybridge Laboratory, where your new smile is digitally designed. This design will guide the creation of your temporary Hybridge teeth, which you’ll receive in Step 2.
Step 2: Surgery Day
Leave with Teeth the Same Day
On surgery day, we’ll remove your natural teeth and place your dental implants. You’ll leave the office with your new “Fixed Temporary Teeth” in place, giving you a beautiful smile the same day as your surgery. It’s an exciting transformation, providing you with a functional, temporary smile right away.
Step 3: Hybridge Scan Appointment
Preparing for Your Final Smile
About three weeks after surgery, it’s time for your Hybridge Scan appointment. This scan provides the Hybridge Laboratory with all the necessary information to create your final smile. We’ll use the Smile Design Software to assess your progress and make any final adjustments before we move forward with your permanent design.
Step 4: Completion
Your Beautiful, Final Smile
The day has come to reveal your final smile! You’ll receive your permanent Hybridge teeth, carefully placed and adjusted for a flawless, comfortable fit. We’ll provide detailed instructions for proper care to ensure your new smile stays beautiful and healthy for years to come.
The entire process usually takes 3 months or less!

How does the dental implant process work?
At Michiana Dental Implants, the process typically follows four steps: consultation and planning, implant surgery with temporary teeth placed the same day, a follow-up scan to design your final smile, and placement of your permanent teeth. This streamlined approach helps patients restore their smile efficiently and comfortably.
How long does the full mouth dental implant process take?
For many patients, the full dental implant process can be completed in about three months or less, depending on healing and individual treatment needs. Your doctor will provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.
Will I have teeth the same day as dental implant surgery?
Yes. Most patients receive a temporary set of fixed teeth on the same day as surgery, allowing them to leave the office with a functional smile while their implants heal.
