TeethNow is the practice's branded full-arch system from Dr. Igor Kaplansky, DDS — Diplomate ABOI/ID, Fellow AAID/FICOI/FAGD. Pre-designed healing teeth are placed the day after surgery, with permanent zirconia teeth delivered at 4–5 months. Zirconia, not acrylic — by design.
Chain "teeth in a day" providers adapt an acrylic denture chairside on surgery day. TeethNow uses pre-designed healing teeth — drawn from your CBCT scan before surgery and placed the day after — so fit and aesthetics are planned, not improvised.
Many chain providers deliver an acrylic final prosthesis 6–12 months after surgery. TeethNow's permanent restoration is solid zirconia, designed at the planning stage and placed at 4–5 months — stronger, stain-resistant, and built for decades of use.
Chain denture-conversion patients typically return for 8–10+ adjustment, reline, and replacement visits over the first year. Because TeethNow's healing teeth are CBCT-designed, follow-ups are streamlined — one surgeon, every visit, no rotating associates.
Candidacy for TeethNow is determined by a CBCT scan and consultation with Dr. Kaplansky. Patients with severe upper-jaw bone loss may qualify for zygomatic implants instead. Strong TeethNow candidates typically:
TeethNow is performed exclusively by Dr. Kaplansky — a Diplomate of the ABOI/ID, a credential held by fewer than 600 dentists in the U.S. Three things set the system apart from chain full-arch providers:
Pre-designed healing teeth the day after surgery, then permanent zirconia at 4–5 months — planned from your CBCT, not adapted chairside.
The permanent prosthesis is solid zirconia — harder than acrylic, stain-resistant, and lifelike — included by design, never sold as an upgrade tier.
Dr. Kaplansky places every implant and oversees every follow-up — no rotating associates, 30+ years of placement experience behind every case.
If you are weighing full-arch implants in the Buffalo-Niagara region, you owe it to yourself to compare credentials. Dr. Kaplansky has placed dental implants for 30+ years, holds Diplomate-level board certification in oral implantology (a credential fewer than 600 dentists in the U.S. carry), and has earned 1,300+ Google reviews from patients restored with his TeethNow zirconia system.
Every TeethNow case begins with digital planning. The four stages below show what to expect, from your first CBCT scan to the permanent zirconia teeth that complete the restoration.
Your consultation begins with a CBCT scan. Dr. Kaplansky reviews jaw anatomy, bone volume, and sinus position before designing your healing prosthesis and final zirconia teeth.
Implants are placed under local anesthesia, with IV sedation available. A full-arch case typically takes several hours, performed by Dr. Kaplansky personally.
Your pre-designed healing teeth are placed the day after surgery — not a chairside denture conversion. Functional, aesthetic, and built to protect the implant sites as they integrate.
Once osseointegration is confirmed at 4–5 months, your final solid-zirconia teeth are placed. Ceramic, stain-resistant, and engineered for decades of wear.




Chain providers' "teeth in a day" systems typically adapt an acrylic denture chairside on surgery day. TeethNow designs your healing prosthesis from the CBCT scan before surgery and places it the day after — a pre-fitted provisional, not a repurposed denture. The final prosthesis is zirconia, not acrylic.
Healing teeth are placed the day after surgery. Your permanent zirconia teeth are delivered at 4–5 months, once osseointegration is confirmed — typically faster than the 6–12 month timeline at chain providers.
If a CBCT scan shows insufficient bone for standard implants, you may qualify for zygomatic implants, which anchor in the cheekbone instead of the upper jaw. Dr. Kaplansky is one of 11 ZAGA Center–certified specialists in the United States, so both pathways can be planned in-house.
A soft-food diet is recommended during the healing phase to protect the implant sites. Once the permanent zirconia teeth are placed, most patients return to normal eating — zirconia is hard-wearing and does not degrade like acrylic.








TeethNow full-arch cases start at $24,000–$38,000 per arch, depending on implant count and sedation. We accept CareCredit, offer in-house financing, and verify insurance benefits up front, so you see a personalized estimate before any treatment begins — no surprises after the CBCT scan.
Patients travel to Dentistry by Dr. Kaplansky from across Gasport, Lockport, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Rochester, and the wider Western New York region for TeethNow. Every consultation begins with a CBCT scan and ends with a written treatment plan — single tooth, full-arch zirconia, or zygomatic anchorage for severe bone loss.
