Dr. Widner is one of a select group of oral and maxillofacial surgeons trained in the cutting-edge new technique for dental implants called Teeth-in-an-Hour™. It can be the best solution for people that have missing or damaged teeth 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 Technique

Using digital images and advanced virtual computer modelling, a pre-manufactured prosthesis can now be made in advance of surgery with utmost precision. Then, the Teeth-in-an-Hour™ computer-guided dental implant surgery that follows is extremely accurate and safe. All of the major decisions of the treatment are made during the virtual planning stage rather than during the surgery itself.

As a result, the surgery is even easier and quicker when Dr. Widner actually performs the Teeth-in-an-Hour™ procedure. Patients often leave the chair faster with teeth in place in a minimum amount of time.
