Dental Implants in 1 Day

A missing tooth is not just a gap. Beside the unaesthetic look a gap in the teeth has destabilizing affect to your surrounding teeth, the bone and the muscles attached. If the tooth is not replaced, the bone will recede and also the muscles attached to the bone. Implants are a great long term solution to replace bad teeth.

It's important therefore to replace missing teeth as soon as possible. The only way to do this is by so called dental implants. A dental implant is usually made of titanium and can carry a new crown or bridge after the implant was surgically placed into the jawbone. In the past the whole process took up to 6 months or even longer because the bone had to heal around the implant first before it could be used.

There have been big advances in dental implant technology recently. A company called Nobel Biocare got FDA approval for a revolutionary new dental implant procedure which they name “Teeth-In-An-Hour”. The approach of replacing missing teeth is very different and the procedure promises much less pain, a shorter treatment and almost no healing time.

Cost Of Dental Implants

First a CT scan is made where sophisticated software calculates the exact and best points for the implants. Based on the images a prosthesis is manufactured which is then used together with a custom fabricated precision drill guide to apply the implants with minimal surgery needed.

The whole procedure takes a much shorter treatment time, much greater patient comfort and almost no healing time. When you lave the chair you have a fully functional tooth.

Dental implant costs are still high tough. The new technology by Biocare costs about the same as the traditional dental implant surgery but with much less pain, time and healing time involved it's the much better deal.
