TEETH-IN-AN-HOUR™ is an innovative technique that allows patients to receive fully functioning dental implants in just one procedure, typically completed in about an hour. Developed by Nobel Biocare, this approach involves close coordination between the restorative dentist and the oral surgeon, resulting in safer, more precise implant placement.

One key advantage is that the prosthetic teeth are created before surgery. With the aid of advanced computer-guided technology, implants are placed using a minimally invasive method, often without needing to lift the gum tissue. This means reduced post-operative discomfort, swelling, and bruising. Many patients are able to return to regular activities within a day.

The process begins with a CAT scan of the jawbone. This scan generates a 3D digital model used in specialized software to plan the implant placement virtually. As a result, surgery is more accurate, and patient chair time is significantly reduced.
