Teeth In An HourTM uses pre-surgical three-dimensional computer planning allowing fabrication in advance of a highly precise final restoration.

Surgical Guide
Maxillary Teeth In An Hour™ Prosthesis
Bill went home that day wearing an immediate complete upper denture. In the days that followed, he reported very little pain or discomfort and only minimal swelling. Three months later, he received permanent versions of both the denture and the implant-supported prosthesis.

"The lower jaw restoration felt just like my own teeth," Bill recounts. "I was thrilled." In fact, he felt so enthusiastic about the initial change in his appearance that he consulted a plastic surgeon. He had become dissatisfied with excess facial tissue that he felt made him look tired and older than his years. He subsequently had a face lift, brow lift and eye lid lift, along with placement of a chin implant to enhance his jaw line.

Although delighted with his new appearance and implant-supported teeth, Bill found the upper denture to be uncomfortable despite numerous adjustments and efforts to reline it. He finally concluded that replacing the upper denture with implant-supported teeth was no longer something he could regard as a luxury; it had become a necessity. A new Nobel Biocare surgical protocol Teeth in an HourTM had just become available. This type of treatment allows patients to receive their implants and new teeth in about 35 minutes, versus the two to three hours required by the Teeth in a DayTM procedure.
