/Cosmetic Surgery News Articles/ - Washington, PA, June 13, 2008 - Teeth-In-An-Hour, a new computer guided surgical technique now allows dentists to perform implant surgery in a much shorter period of time at less physical and financial cost to the patient. In the past, dental implant surgery was a multiple step process that took place over a period of weeks, or even months, costing patients large sums of money and often resulting in weeks of recovery time.

Dr. Steven M. Krakora D.M.D., M.D, a local oral surgeon, at Western Pennsylvania Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, is excited to announce that he will now offer Teeth-In-An-Hour, a growing form of computer guided implant surgery, to the city of Pittsburgh and its surrounding areas. This new surgical system makes implant surgery possible in about an hour by offering Dr. Krakora a way to create a much more efficient treatment system than ever before. Opposed to traditional implant surgery, which involves visualizing the patients bone before the surgeon can locate the ideal spot to place the implant, Teeth-In-An-Hour uses a new technology that drastically shortens the search and eliminates the need for an incision and bone grafting.

Teeth-In-An-Hour is made possible through the use of CT scanning techniques that enable Dr. Krakora to actually create a 3 dimensional representation of the patients jaw bones and performs a virtual surgery on the computer. This way, when the doctor is ready to begin the surgery, he will know exactly where the implant is going to be placed in the patient's bone. The result is a quick procedure that involves a significantly shorter recovery period, with little swelling or pain. As well, the financial cost to the patient is noticeably less thanks to the elimination of the need for bone grafting and the shortened start-to-finish time of the procedure and overall treatment.

An important point to stress is that Dr. Krakora is able to perform this streamlined implant surgery without affecting the success of the implant in any way. Following the one time, hour-long surgery, the patient will be able to enjoy the benefits of completely functional and permanent implants. The procedure is actually so effective that many patients are able to continue their routines the very next day. This would have been unheard in the days of traditional dental implant surgeries, and Dr. Krakora is happy to now provide this treatment to the greater Pittsburgh area.

Dr. Krakora's office, Western Pennsylvania Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, is located in Washington, PA just a few miles south on Interstate 79, close to the Washington Crown Center Mall. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin before pursuing and obtaining both dental and medical degrees from the University of Pittsburgh and Drexel University in Philadelphia. Along with his practice, Dr. Krakora is also on active staff at Washington and Allegheny General Hospitals and his areas of recognized expertise include both bone grafting and implant surgery.

Anyone is welcome to contact Dr. Krakora's office, as he is ready to set up a free consultation to determine whether or not the Teeth-In-An-Hour surgical implant technique will work for you. This new process is quick, affordable and provides the patient with the highest quality implant available without lengthy surgical sessions, extended recovery periods, or bone grafting and its success has led to it becoming the preferred method of dental implant surgery.
