Prosthetic-Driven Planning: Starting with the End in Mind
One of the biggest differences between a general approach and a prosthodontic approach is how treatment is planned.
Rather than placing implants first and “hoping” the teeth fit well afterward, Dr. Connolly designs the final teeth first—then places implants to support that ideal outcome. This is called prosthetic-driven planning, and it’s essential for:
- Long-term durability of full arch restorations
- Proper bite alignment and function
- Natural-looking smile design that complements your face
- Reduced complications over time
For patients in Bedford, Manchester, and Amherst, NH, this means your results are not only beautiful—but built to last.

The Technology Behind the "Digital Twin"
Your smile isn’t just about teeth—it’s about how those teeth interact with your entire face. That’s where RayFace technology changes everything.
Using advanced facial scanning, we capture:
- Facial symmetry and proportions
- Smile line and lip movement
- Jaw position and bite dynamics
This data is combined with digital impressions and 3D imaging to create a fully integrated treatment plan.

The result is a level of personalization that simply isn’t possible with traditional methods.
The "One-Visit" Reality: Teeth in a Day
Thanks to this digital workflow, many patients can benefit from Teeth in a Day—a streamlined process where you leave your appointment with a fixed, functional set of teeth.
Here’s how it works:
- Digital scans and planning are completed ahead of time
- Implants are placed using guided surgical techniques
- A temporary arch is secured the same day
This means no long gaps without teeth and no reliance on removable dentures during healing. Instead, you walk out with a smile that looks and functions naturally from day one.
A True Spring Renewal for Your Smile
As winter fades and New Hampshire’s outdoor season begins, many patients start thinking about renewal—fresh starts, new routines, and increased social activity.
If you’ve been dealing with:
- Failing dental work
- Loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Missing teeth affecting your confidence
This is the perfect time to make a change. Full arch implants offer a permanent, stable solution just in time for spring and summer events.
