ETL approach for replacing multiple dates in one row.

We have a Fact table that stores several key dates in the life cycle of a customer. Each of these dates is supposed to be a surrogate key pointing to the date dimension. My questions pertains to efficiently replacing these dates with surrogate keys in the Date Dimension,when loading the Fact Table. Each row in my source stream contains such multiple dates. What would be the best approach of replacing all these dates?
