Teeth in a Day: Now you can enjoy the immediate
benefit of a replacement tooth.
The ultimate goal of dentistry has always been to enable beautiful
functional teeth now. In practical terms, that means the placing
of the implant, abutment and tooth or bridge all in one visit.
Today, with our revolutionary NobelGuide™, we’ve moved
the concept of esthetic dentistry to a completely new level. This
means that you can leave the dentist’s chair
with functioning, beautiful teeth the day of surgery.
STEP 1 - CONSULTATION
Dr. Cross will meet with the patient to understand their concerns,
answer their questions, and determine if they are a candidate for
the Teeth
in an Hour procedure. This procedure is not appropriate for everyone.
STEP
2 - CAT SCAN
An ultra-high tech x-ray called a CT scan is taken at a special
facility. Dr. Cross receives the digital x-ray information and analyzes
it using the Nobel Guide 3-dimensional imaging software.
This technology
allows Dr. Cross to plan the exact position of the dental implants
on the computer. From this information, a "surgical guide" is created,
which allows Dr. Cross to make a precise physical placement of the
dental implants in the patients mouth.
STEP 3 - TOOTH IN A DAY SURGERY
On the day of surgery, the patient is given a local anesthetic.
In approximately an hour or two, the implants are placed, and the
permanent teeth are attached. The patient is sent home with fully
functioning teeth.
