Teeth-in-an-Hour
Dental Implants
Dental implants often provide a more advanced replacement for missing teeth than a traditional bridge and preserve adjacent teeth. Dental implants are small metal screws designed specifically to replace your natural tooth root. Manufactured from titanium, dental implants provide a highly biocompatible surface, encouraging bone to attach to the implant during the healing process to ensure long-term results.
Dental implants do not require the adjacent teeth to be modified. They also create stimulation to the underlying bone. Restoration with all-ceramic components (crown and abutment) can result in a beautiful, natural-looking, translucent tooth, just like the tooth being replaced!
Why Wait to Start Smiling?
Everyone deserves a beautiful smile. Today, there is no need to settle for anything less. The NobelGuide™ system means you can now replace missing teeth with permanent dental implants easily, quickly and comfortably. This gentle new option enables you to leave the dentist's office with fully functioning new teeth after just one treatment.

Simple and Quick
NobelGuide™ is a unique system that has numerous advantages over traditional implant treatment. Not only does it reduce the number of visits to your dentist, you also spend less time there, greatly shortening your treatment time.
Best of all, NobelGuide™ treatment is minimally-invasive, so no recovery period is needed after your treatment. You can return to your active life immediately.
Teeth-in-an-Hour™
The NobelGuide™ system is a sophisticated tool your dentist may use for precision planning of your treatment, so your implants are accurately and safely placed in exactly the right place.
With conventional treatment, you have to wait for your implants to heal before the teeth are placed, which can take several months. Teeth-in-an-Hour™ procedure gives you your new teeth immediately. You will be able to eat immediately or soon after the treatment.
Only One Appointment
In most cases, you only need to come in once before the actual treatment.
- Examination: First, we make a model or digital image of your mouth.
- Placing the implants: At your next appointment, the new implants and teeth can be placed right away.
Important Considerations
- Look younger—When you loose your teeth, your jawbone can shrink making you look older. Implants help stabilize bone levels after tooth loss.
- Eat whatever you want—Like natural teeth, your new teeth are strong, stable and secure, so you can comfortably eat all your favorite foods.
- A life-long solution—Dental implants are a long-lasting solution, often for life.
- A happier life—Beautiful new teeth can give you back the confidence you may have lost. They can transform your daily life.
- Adjacent teeth remain intact—No grinding required.
- Bone integrity preserved—Stimulation is restored to underlying bone.
- Treatment naturally accepted by body—Titanium is strong and naturally accepted by the body.
Final Word
It is exciting to be able to offer this advanced, dental restorative alternative to you. It is an important part of our commitment to help you keep a healthy, great-looking smile for a lifetime.
Dental implants require a time commitment and dedicated oral hygiene routine for optimal maintenance. In addition, implants require a greater financial investment than that of a removable bridge or conventional denture. However, many people discover that the end result—a healthy smile, comfort, greater chewing ability and the confidence that comes with it—make dental implants well worth the investment.
