Dental Implants & Mini-Dental Implants [for confident living]
Dental Implants are the solution to replace missing teeth, single or multiple, without the need to grind healthy teeth down for bridgework. Implants also securely fix dentures to the bone, stopping sliding and shifting of dentures, providing ultimate comfort and preventing pain due to exposed nerves and gum irritation.
Implants are inserted into the jawbone, taking the root's place of your missing tooth. This prevents recession of your jawline because of bone shrinkage provoked by the missing teeth.
After the dental implant is attached with the surrounding bone a replacement tooth is firmly placed at the top of it. This tooth is made of high quality porcelain, carefully elaborated in the lab to produce exact color match and anatomy of your other tooth making it look and feel natural.
Enjoy all your favourite food with confidence, talk and laugh without insecurities. Choose Dental Implants for a secure smile.
How can Dental implants help denture wearers?
The standard insertion protocol for Dental Implants calls for four of them to be gently screwed into the front of the patient lower jaw.
This is a relatively painless procedure requiring only mild anesthesia. The dental implants, which are approximately the size of wooden toothpicks, are placed about five millimeters apart in the patient mandible. The patient denture is then carefully placed and adjusted by Dr. Saad to allow it to snap onto the four mini-implants.
The result? A tight fitting, completely reliable system that allows a patient to speak and eat with confidence. The dental implants are placed in about an hour's time.
Because of the unique minimally invasive procedure, the minute size of the implants and the characteristics of the placement area, the typical dental implant patient can enjoy a light meal in an hour or so after having the mini-implants placed.
Furthermore a denture patient who has had his or her prosthesis stabilized can remove and replace the denture easily with a little practice and can easily have good dental hygiene.
What are Mini-Dental Implants?
A miniature titanium implant acts like the root of your tooth. A retaining fixture is incorporated into the base of your denture to keep it solid and with no movement. 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 rubber-o rings snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds the denture. The implant fixture allows for micro-mobility while withstanding neutral lifting forces.
How does the Mini-Dental Implant technology broaden my options?
Dental implant therapy has been around for the past 25 years in dentistry and there are several different types of implants and restorations available. The choice depends upon the amount of bone available, the patients general health and restoration preferences.
The computer and Dental world are both working hard to develop smaller and smaller components. In a similar way, a smaller version of the dental implant has been successfully utilized in selected cases. The mini-implants (1.8mm in diameter) enable your dentist to broaden the spectrum. This system provides greater denture stability.
Mini-Dental Implants are for those who do not have enough bone to allow for full size implants to be placed, for conventional implant surgery or are in on-going therapy from one prosthetic denture system to another.
How are Mini-Dental Implants Placed?
Placement of the dental implants is accomplished quickly and easily in a process performed in the dental office, with local anesthesia or a light sedation to help make the patient more comfortable.
Using a precise, controlled, minimally invasive surgical technique, Mini-Dental Implants are placed into the jawbone. The head of the implants protrude from the gum tissue and provides a strong solid foundation for securing your dentures.
It is a one step procedure that involves minimal invasive surgery, no sutures or the typical months of healing.
