Mini Implants
The most effective use of this unique dental product is stabilization of a lower denture. When critically needed for support purposes, and where solid bony adaptation (integration) has clearly occurred, mini implants can function as long-term supporting structures rather than as short-term or medium term devices. In fact, some have been successfully functioning in patients' jaws for several decades. Denture patients all over the world have experienced relief from loose or ill-fitting dentures with the successful implementation of mini implants.
What are implants?
Dental Implants are surgical grade titanium posts that are surgically placed beneath your gums to replace the roots of teeth that have been extracted in the past. After placement, the implants fuse to the bone and act as artificial tooth roots. Replacement teeth - that can be either removable or non-removable - are then attached to the implants.Dental Implants by Rocky Point DentistryDental Implants by Rocky Point Dentistry
What are the benefits of implants?
One key benefit of dental implants is that they become a part of your jaw, offering stable support to either fixed or removable teeth. Dentures, bridges or individual teeth mounted to the implants won't slip or shift in your mouth. You will enjoy better nutrition and improved speech as a result of your new dental implants.
The secure fit of implant-supported crowns and bridges feels much more natural than conventional denturesor partial dentures.In addition, you will also find the stability of implant-supported dentures to be far more comfortable than removable dentures.
While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.
How can I tell if implants are the right choice for me?
We can help, as part of a thorough evaluation, Dr. Leshinger at Rocky Point Dentistry will check the condition of your mouth, the supporting bone in your jaws and the way your upper and lower teeth fit together. Dr. Leshinger may gather additional information by taking dental X-rays or making models of your teeth. This information will help determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.
What sets Dr. Leshinger apart in Dental Implants?
Dr. Leshinger places and restores dental implants. In addition, Dr. Leshinger uses the MDI System to place "Mini-Implants" which are used for many of the immediate teeth procedures that you’ve heard about.
The MDI System consists of a miniature titanium implant that acts like the root of your tooth and a retaining fixture that is incorporated into the base of your denture, The head of the implant is shaped like a ball and the retaining fixture acts like a socket that contains a rubber O-ring. The O-ring snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds the denture at a predetermined leve of force. When seated, the denture gently rests on the gum tissue. The implant fixtures allow for micro-mobility while withstanding natural lifting forces.
