The Teeth-in-an-Hour™ Process
The process of getting Teeth-in-an-Hour in Houston begins when a detailed scan is taken of the patient's jawbone. This scan allows for the generation of a three-dimensional model of the jawbone that can then be used with virtual reality software to plan the implant placement without the presence of the patient. The computer-guided implant surgery is done by using a surgical guide to allow implant placement. The results are a more accurate implant placement and less chair time for the patient. The prosthesis is fabricated prior to the surgery but adaptation is made to retrofit the prosthesis at the time of surgery.
After the prosthesis is fitted, the patient is able to function immediately, and the prosthesis is not removable. The fabrication of a final prosthesis is completed prior to the surgery by the restoring dentist. This benefits the patient in that there is less postoperative discomfort, less swelling, and less bruising. Patients can often resume their normal activities the next day.
