In today’s fast-paced world, more people than ever are seeking fast, effective solutions to restore their smile. Same-day dental implants—also known as “Teeth in a Day”—promise just that. But is this revolutionary procedure really as instant and effective as it sounds? The answer lies in the hands of skilled experts like Dr. Edward Halusic, a nationally recognized oral and maxillofacial surgeon based in Greensburg, PA, and a leader in same-day dental implant technology.
What Are Same-Day Dental Implants?
Same-day dental implants allow patients to receive dental implants and fully functional replacement teeth in a single visit. Unlike traditional implants, which can take months and multiple appointments to complete, same-day procedures combine precision planning, advanced imaging, and immediate placement for quicker results.
Patients walk into the office with missing or failing teeth, and walk out with a brand-new, natural-looking smile.
But not all providers are created equal. When it comes to something as important as your oral health, experience and technology matter.
The Surgeon Matters: Why Dr. Edward Halusic Stands Out
With over 35 years of surgical experience and more than 7,000 dental implants placed, Dr. Edward Halusic is a trusted leader in implantology. As a dual board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon and anesthesiologist, Dr. Halusic provides both expert-level surgical care and a smooth, safe patient experience under one roof.
Dr. Halusic has led innovation in his field:
- First surgeon in his region to perform the All-on-4® same-day implant procedure
- First globally to use the CHROME™ GuidedSMILE™ system for full-arch replacement
- Early adopter of in-office CT scanning and 3D surgical planning
This means that when you choose Dr. Halusic, you’re not only getting implants—you’re getting access to some of the most advanced technology and techniques in the country.
Are You a Candidate for Same-Day Implants?
Not everyone is a perfect candidate for same-day implants, and that’s where Dr. Halusic’s expertise truly shines. He carefully evaluates each patient using state-of-the-art Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging to determine if immediate implants are a safe and effective option.
Ideal candidates typically:
- Have one or more missing or failing teeth
- Are in good general health
- Have adequate jawbone density (or can benefit from bone grafting)
- Want a faster, streamlined solution with fewer appointments
Even if you’ve been told you’re not a candidate elsewhere, Dr. Halusic may be able to help. His work as a clinical investigator for bone-regenerating proteins has expanded possibilities for patients with severe bone loss, achieving a 100% success rate during clinical trials.
The Technology Behind the Smile
What truly sets Dr. Halusic apart is the combination of surgical skill and technological innovation. Every same-day implant case includes:
- CHROME™ GuidedSMILE™: A digitally guided surgical protocol that ensures ultra-precise implant placement
- In-house 3D printing: For custom surgical guides and prosthetics
- Same-day provisional restorations: Most patients leave with secure, attractive teeth in just four hours
This level of precision leads to higher implant success rates, minimal post-op discomfort, and a dramatically improved patient experience.
Real Stories, Real Transformations
Patients often describe their experience with Dr. Halusic as "life-changing." From regaining the confidence to smile and eat in public, to eliminating years of pain and dental frustration, the results speak for themselves.
“I couldn’t believe I walked in with missing teeth and walked out with a beautiful, functional smile—all in one day. Dr. Halusic and his team made me feel safe, informed, and cared for every step of the way.”

Questions to Ask Any Implant Surgeon—Before You Commit
Before undergoing any dental implant procedure, especially a same-day treatment, ask your surgeon:
- Are you board-certified in oral and maxillofacial surgery?
- How many implant cases have you completed?
- What technology do you use to plan and place implants?
- Will I be sedated or under anesthesia during the procedure?
- What is the long-term success rate for your patients?
With Dr. Halusic, you’ll find reassuring answers to all of the above.
