Teeth in an Hour

What is Teeth-in-an-Hour?

Teeth-in-an-Hour is a unique solution by NobelBiocare that allows you to come into the office and within
approximately one hour, have implants placed and walk away with your dentures the same day. In one appointment with Dr. Phillips you can have an implant fixed denture.

Teeth-in-an-Hour? How is this possible?

Teeth in an Hour is made possible by NobelBiocare and Dr. Phillips. Through a series of CT images and virtual planning, taking place prior to your procedure, Dr. Phillips will have a prosthetic (aka denture) and plan ready for your appointment.

Am I a candidate?

Teeth in an Hour is for people who need a denture and desire the comfort similar to natural teeth through the placement of implants. Dr. Phillips will evaluate you to see if qualify for this innovative procedure.

Are both the implants and denture actually placed the same day?

Yes, they are. In the past, the implants would be placed. Then 3-6 months later, the patient could be fitted for a denture. With Teeth-in-an-Hour, the implants are placed and immediately the denture is fitted. When you leave your appointment with Dr. Phillips, you will do so with your new smile / teeth in place. No need to wait 3-6 months any longer.

What about the recovery time?

Everyone's recovery time varies.  However, this procedure is minimally invasive, leaving you minimum post-operative reactions.

Who places the implants?

Dr. Phillips works with a prosthedontist (dentist who specializes in dental implant placement) to ensure the procedure is smooth. After the prosthedontist places the implant, Dr. Phillips will be there to place your denture.
