Teeth in an Hour
What
is Teeth-in-an-Hour? Teeth-in-an-Hour
is a unique solution by NobelBiocare that
allows you to come into the office and within
approximately one hour, have implants placed and walk away with your
dentures the same day. In one appointment with Dr. Phillips you can have an
implant fixed denture.
Teeth-in-an-Hour?
How is this possible? Teeth in an Hour is
made possible by NobelBiocare and Dr. Phillips. Through
a series of CT images and virtual planning, taking
place prior to your procedure, Dr. Phillips will have
a prosthetic (aka denture) and plan ready for your appointment.
Am I
a candidate? Teeth
in an Hour is for
people who need a denture and desire the comfort similar to
natural teeth
through the placement of implants. Dr. Phillips will
evaluate you to see if qualify for this innovative procedure.
Are
both the implants and denture actually placed the same day? Yes,
they are. In the past, the implants would be
placed. Then 3-6 months later, the patient could be fitted
for a denture.
With Teeth-in-an-Hour, the implants are placed
and immediately the denture is fitted. When
you leave your appointment with
Dr. Phillips, you will do so with your new
smile / teeth in place. No need to wait 3-6
months any longer.
What about the recovery time? Everyone’s
recovery time
varies. However, this procedure is minimally
invasive, leaving you minimum post-operative reactions.
Who places the implants? Dr. Phillips works
with a prosthedontist (dentist who specializes in dental implant placement)
to ensure the procedure is smooth. After the prosthedontist places
the implant, Dr. Phillips will be there to place your denture.
