Teeth-In-An-Hour™

Teeth in an Hour™ is the perfect solution for people who have no teeth (or will have teeth removed) in either top jaw, bottom jaw, or both. Historically, patients would have multiple surgeries over the course of 4-9 months to obtain what is now completed in approximately one hour. The process is cutting edge: A CT scan is used with Virtual Reality software to plan the implant placement and fabricate the final bridge (teeth replacement) before surgery is ever performed. The procedure consists of placement of the implants, utilizing the computer generated guide. Simultaneously, the final set of teeth is delivered, secured to the implants. This computer guided dental implant surgery is extremely accurate, safe, and allows for virtually painless dental implant treatment. It allows our patients to walk out with great teeth today.

The computer-guided implant surgery is done in an arthroscopic fashion without requiring any flap reflection. 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.

Dr. Loetscher has been trained and certified by Nobel Biocare for the new revolutionary "Teeth in an Hour™" procedure. Dr. Loetscher also was the first surgeon to perform this procedure in Georgia, and has been continuously educating practitioners in the area on the technique.
