Teeth in an Hour™ is an advanced
dental implant surgery technique that incorporates 3-Dimensional computer based imaging and a customized drilling template
for high precision implant placement by flapless surgery, and immediate insertion of a pre-fabricated fixed prosthesis.
The Teeth in an Hour™ system makes receiving dental implants more comfortable and easier for the
patient. It is estimated that more than 35 million Americans are missing all of their teeth in the
upper, lower, or both jaws.
A study by the Harvard School of Dental Medicine
estimates that this edentulous population will continue to grow until its peak in 2020 at nearly 38 Million Americans.
Studies have shown that implant supported teeth offer a vastly improved quality of life, improved nutritional state, more
healthy bone and gum tissue, and an overall higher social and psychological well being when compared to conventional dentures.
A generally accepted value among removable prosthodontic
faculty is that a lower full denture only restores about 10% of function compared to natural teeth. However, an implant supported
fixed bridge allows this patient to function at 90% of their potential capacity compared to having all of their lower teeth.
Not only can this transformation take place within an hour, but it is also among the most predictable procedures in dentistry.
People who are missing teeth or who are using dentures
settle for what they can eat. Individuals choose Teeth in an Hour™ so that they can choose to eat what they want with
confidence!

Teeth in an Hour™ is an exciting new breakthrough procedure for treating edentulism. Computer-based planning and instrument
guides enable us to replace missing teeth in a fast and minimally invasive procedure. This advanced technique has received
national media attention and a live surgery was featured on ABC's Good Morning America on December 14, 2005. Teeth in
an Hour™ uses the combination of a digital 3-Dimensional planning system and a customized drilling template allowing
for high precision implant placement by flapless surgery, and immediate insertion of a pre-fabricated fixed prosthesis.
