What is Teeth-in-an-Hour?
Teeth-in-an-Hour is a revolutionary full-arch restoration procedure that involves replacing an arch of teeth with an implant-supported denture. Because dental implants support the new arch of teeth, you regain full functionality of your smile. Enjoy your favorite foods comfortably and speak confidently, knowing your teeth will stay in place.
If you are missing most or all of your teeth, or if you wear removable dentures and seek a healthier, more convenient alternative, you are likely an excellent candidate for full-arch restoration.
Benefits of Teeth-in-an-Hour
-
Health Benefits
- Your new teeth will look natural and stay in place at all times. The dental implants supporting your new teeth stimulate the jaw to prevent bone loss and contribute to your long-term oral health.
-
Cost Effective
- Compared to using individual implants to restore all the teeth, full-arch restoration is faster and more cost effective. Multiple individual implants often require several procedures to place bone grafts and the implant posts, and there is a longer waiting period as the implants heal.
-
Easier Recovery
- Because there is only one surgical procedure necessary, many patients experience less swelling and less bruising compared to those who undergo multiple implant placement procedures.
-
Immediate Results
- With Teeth-in-an-Hour, bone grafting is unnecessary and a new arch of teeth is immediately attached to the dental implant posts. You can enjoy your new smile as soon as you leave our office, and once the implants heal, your dentist will attach the final prosthesis.
-
Easy Care
- There are no special products or routines necessary to care for your prosthesis. Simply brush and floss your new teeth regularly and with proper care, they can last a lifetime.
Teeth-in-an-Hour Process
Prior to the surgery, you will meet with Dr. Alfi, who will assess your oral health and design a custom treatment plan to restore your smile.
On the day of your procedure, we will administer the anesthesia or sedation of your choice. Your oral surgeon will extract any remaining teeth in the dental arch, place the dental implants, and attach a prosthesis. After just 1 hour, you will leave our office with a brand new, healthy smile.
In some cases, fabrication of the final prosthesis is completed prior to surgery and we can attach it during the procedure. In other cases, a temporary prosthesis will be attached to the implants. After the implants heal and the final prosthesis is complete, your restorative doctor will attach your permanent prosthesis.
