TEETH-IN-AN-HOUR™
is a revolutionary concept providing patients
with fully functioning teeth on dental implants
in one single procedure that lasts about
an hour. This technology was recently
developed by Nobel Biocare, and allows for
collaboration between both the restorative
doctor and the surgeon. This merging of
knowledge and experience achieves not only
increased safety, but also a more precise
implant placement. In addition, the fabrication
of a final prosthesis is completed prior
to the surgery. The computer-guided implant
surgery is done in an arthroscopic fashion
without requiring any flap reflection. This
benefits the patient being that there is
less post operative discomfort, less swelling
and less bruising. Often, patients can resume
their normal activities the next day. To

What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small screws designed to replace the root of a tooth and restore the physical appearance and the chewing function of patients with partial or full tooth loss. Nobel Biocare dental implants are intended for use in either the upper and/or the lower jaw to support prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth. By integrating with the jaw, they enable restorations that range from replacement of one single tooth to an entire arch of bridgework, or as stabilizing elements for overdenture applications. Nobel Biocare manufactures dental implants from titanium, which is both biocompatible and strong.
Are you a good candidate for dental implants?
Patients must undergo a medical evaluation to determine whether the implant placement procedure poses any health risks, and whether any factors exist that may affect the healing capacity of either their bones or their associated soft tissues.
Who can receive dental implants?
Patients who are medically fit to participate in a general oral surgical procedure.
Who should carefully consider dental implants?
Patients who have medical or other conditions that may interfere with the healing process of either their bones or soft tissues (e.g., connective tissue disorders, steroid therapy, bone infections, cigarette smoking) must carefully evaluate, with their dentists, the potential risks and benefits of using dental implants.
