Teeth in an Hour Dental Implants
August 10th, 2009 | Published in Dental implants, Information, Teeth Replacement | 52 Comments
Here is more information about an innovative technology for dental implants that enables you to have your new teeth and implants in an hour’s visit to the dentist.
Conventional Dental Implants
Conventional dental implant treatment requires the dental implants to be placed several months before the functional teeth are replaced. Thus, there is usually a time lapse between the time that the implant(s) are placed and the time that the patient has his or her final functional teeth.
The three dimensional software that maps out the placement of the implants before surgery
Advanced Imaging and Computer Design Technology
Teeth-in-an-Hour™ from Nobelbiocare utilizes advanced imaging and computer design technology to enable implants and teeth to be placed at the same time. The implants are placed using a minimally invasive procedure under local anesthesia. No surgical incision or cut is required in the gum. This allows speedy healing and little post-treatment discomfort. It is not uncommon for patients to walk out of the clinic after surgery and carry on their normal daily activities immediately. Interruption of one’s usual routine is rare.
The surgical guide used for the placement of the dental implants
Benefits of Teeth-in-an-Hour implants
Fast
Conventional implant procedures take four to nine months and may require multiple surgeries to complete. Teeth-in-an-Hour™ allows up to 28 teeth to be implanted at one time within a short clinical session. There is also minimal disruption to normal lifestyle.
Safe
Safety of the procedure is enhanced due to advanced computer modeling. The placement of the dental implants is simulated in the computer using a special software and digital computer tomography scan information. This allows the operating dentist to visualize all the crucial anatomical structure digitally and it improves the predictability and safety of the procedure.
Perfect fit
The use of computer tomography scan and careful pre-surgical evaluation allows for perfectly fitted implant teeth.
What does the procedure involve?
1. Initial evaluation and imaging
The dentist will examine the patient to determine whether he or she is suitable for the procedure. A computer tomography scan of patient´s jaw is performed to collect digital information about the patient´s jaw bone contour. A three-dimensional (3D) digital model of the jaw will be reformatted on the computer.
2. Measurement
Upon confirmation of a patient’s suitability, a second consultation will be needed for making measurements for the fabrication of the implant teeth. It is also possible to combine the initial evaluation and the measurement appointment into one consultation session, if necessary.
The preparation process commonly requires two visits before the surgery, from the first consultation to the time that the final teeth are placed. The process is estimated to take approximately two to three weeks. This is because part of the work is done in Sweden and it takes time for shipment from Sweden to the clinic. The clinical procedure takes approximately one hour (hence the name, Teeth-in-an-Hour™)
After The New Teeth Are In
Under a little local anesthesia, occasionally in combination with a mild general anaesthetic (called sedation), the procedures are carried out pain free. However, it is essential to take the prescribed medicine during the post-treatment period, which ensures painless recovery.
Patients can immediately resume regular activities with no restrictions. Some may choose to take it easy for a day or two – it is a matter of personal choice.

Interesting, but is a top pallett plate required on the roof of the mouth simular to dentures. I live in Australia two or three weeks waiting is a problem

Dear Roger
thank you for your interest. We have sent an email to you directly with the response.
In general, a plate is not required for teeth-in-an-hour implants or for other types of dental implants that our clinic offers such as conventional dental implants and Instant Implants.
depending on your suitability for Instant Implants (which takes a few days to a week to complete treatment), it may be possible to have this done within your time-frame.

Sounds interesting. I have 10 missing teeth in the upper jaw and would require bone graft for a conventional implant(i.e bone graft required) due to many years of wearing denture. Would I be a suitable candidate of the teeth-in-an-hour implant? What will be estimated cost? Thanks

Dear Jay,
Thank you for your comment and interest in Teeth-in-an-Hour.
Teeth-in-an-Hour is the procedure in replacing missing teeth, where the implants and replacement teeth can be placed at the same time utilizing advanced imaging and computer design technology. The process is minimally invasive and is completed in about one hour. The patient leaves with his or her final teeth at the end of the appointment. Teeth-in-an-Hour™ is most appropriate for patients with multiple missing teeth.
A minimum of 2 appointments is required and the time period is about 3 weeks.
We have sent you more information on your enquiries for the teeth-in-an-hour dental implants.
Thank you

Hi, I lost my front tooth. Only 1. When I’m considering to do dental implant, my dentist did CT Scan. According to him, the CT Scan shows that my bone density is 2. So, I need to do bone graft before he put the implant. With this condition can I do Teeth in an Hour? I’m really interest with this procedure because it looks like the downtime is short. Thanks for the help.

I am keen in your teeth in an hour.
Pls advise of the cost for a pre-molar replacement as well as more details on the difference betweens conventional dental implants and Teeth-in-an-Hour Implants.

Dear Matthew
thank you for your interest in the teeth-in-an-hour dental implant procedure. We have sent you an email with the detailed response to your questions.
The main difference between the Teeth-in-an-Hour (TIAH) implant procedure and conventional dental implant procedure is that the time frame in which the implant treatment is completed is significantly shortened. The TIAH procedure is also minimally invasive and thus, healing time is faster. Exact placement of the implants are planned ahead of time and a surgical guide is fabricated in Sweden that is customized to the patient.
On the other hand, not every patient is a suitable candidate for the TIAH procedure. Thus, conventional dental implants, which have been around much longer, are still the very well established method to replace missing teeth. In addition, the TIAH procedure is more suited for those with multiple missing teeth, and as a result, the cost is also higher as a larger number of teeth are involved.

Dear Jin
thank you for your comment on our post.
Our dental specialist would need to examine your specific dental condition and review your CT scan result to determine whether you would be a suitable candidate for the teeth-in-an-hour procedure, assuming the need for a bone graft is confirmed.
Other options include the Instant Implant procedure especially since only one tooth is involved, or conventional dental implants.
We have sent you an email with more details

Dear Mark, thank you for your blog comment
We have sent an email to you with more details
We do not offer mini-implants treatment in our clinic. For two missing teeth, you may want to consider either conventional dental implants or Instant Implants (depending on your suitability after a dental examination and consultation with our specialists).
The Teeth-in-an-Hour implant procedure is more suitable for those with multiple missing teeth.

I’d like to replace two teeth that are near the front teeth on my bottom row using the teeth-in-an-hour method. May I know around how much would such a procedure cost in such circumstances? Thanks.
February 15th, 2011 at 10:04 am (#)
I would like to know more, including the cost. I have only 1 teeth left on my lower jaw. Is it possible to have 3 or implants, and using these as support for normal denture. Pl include details of cost, which I see you have avoided mentioning in all your replies on your web site.
February 15th, 2011 at 3:32 pm (#)
Dear Victor
thank you for your comments. We have sent you a detailed email separately.
It may be possible to have three or more implants to support a denture (usually we prefer to have more than three implants for more stability/support) but our dental specialists would need to examine your dental condition to determine if you are a candidate for dental implants, and what would be the best treatment option for you for implant supported dentures
We generally do not provide cost information on our website as costs can change from time to time and the most current information is readily available if a patient were to contact us directly via email or telephone.

Dear Muralikrishna

The NobelGuide Teeth-in-an-Hour implant procedure is usually used for those with multiple missing teeth. If you are missing one tooth, either Instant Implants or conventional dental implants may be more appropriate.

Dear Specialist Dental Group,
My husband has lost 10 teeth in upper jaw and he is very interested in this new teeth-in-a-hour implant. The dentist here said that he requires bone graft for a conventional implant due to many years of wearing denture. Would he be a suitable candidate of the teeth-in-an-hour implant? Does he also require bong graft? What will be estimated cost? We are in Beijing now, and how long the whole procedure will take and how many visits we need to go to singapore including the follow up appointments? I heard the sucess rate is around 96%, just want to know if it’s failed, will there be any bad effect? thanks.

Dear Connie, thanks for your comment on our post. We have sent an email response to you.
We will not be able to comment whether he requires a bone graft or whether he is a suitable candidate for the Teeth-in-an-Hour procedure without examining his dental condition and dental records. However, if you are able to plan a visit to Singapore for a consultation, we will be able to confirm the appropriate treatment. If implants are indicated, it may be possible to get the process started on the same trip.

Hi,
My gum specialist has suggested that I go for a complete dentures on my upper jaw and I’ve lost most of my bone.
I just came across this treament of yours and am hoping to find out more. I’d probably need bone graft if I’m going for these implants.
I will be coming to Singapore on the 15th of November 2012 and leaving on the 2nd Dec – a little over a fortnight. Would it be possible to complete the treatment durinf this time frame and what would the total cost be?
