With the advent of new technology and powerful computer aided-design software from Nobel Biocare, we can now replace missing teeth with new, fixed teeth in one hour. The state-of-the-art computer planning program from Nobel Biocare ensures highly accurate placement of Nobel Biocare jaw implants and fixing of new teeth in one single appointment lasting about an hour. The treatment procedure is planned completely on a CT scan of the patient’s jaw, taken a few weeks previously. The actual surgery is minimally invasive by means of a guided keyhole procedure – in fact, no stitches are necessary! This minimal surgery results in reduced pain and swelling compared to conventional treatment.

The Teeth-in-1-hour procedure entails very few appointments, resulting in fewer interruptions in everyday life. You can immediately return to work and/or social life right after the treatment.

How does it work?

With the Teeth-in-1-hour procedure, we can replace from one tooth to a whole jaw. In cases where a denture is already worn, this is assessed for fit, comfort and aesthetics. If the existing denture is unsatisfactory, a new improved denture will have to be constructed. A CT Scan of the jaws and denture is then obtained and the whole procedure planned using computer aided design software. Once all the necessary components are ready, the patient will be booked in for the minor surgical intervention when the implants will be inserted and the final restoration installed. This procedure usually takes about an hour (for a whole jaw).
