Dental implant therapy has been one of the most significant advances in dentistry in the past 25 years. Countless patients have experienced a tremendous improvement in their quality of life and confidence that long-term denture stability brings. There are several different types of implants and restorative options available. The choice depends upon the amount of bone available the patient´s general health and desired goals.

The recent revolution in the industry has been the introduction of minimally invasive implants for denture stabilization. These small diameter implants (about 2mm diameter) have enabled us to increase the number of patients that can be treated. The MDI denture stabilization system was developed to help provide improved denture stability for those patients who would like to avoid the rigors of conventional implant surgery and do not have enough bone to allow for full sized implants.

Placement of many implants can be done quickly and easily in the dentist´s office with the normal local anesthesia. Utilizing a very precise and controlled surgical technique these mini implants are placed into the jawbone. The head of each implant is shaped like a ball and protrudes just above the gum tissue. They act to provide a strong and solid foundation for securing your dentures. O-ring fixtures are processed into an existing denture to act as snaps over the balls when the denture is seated. The denture still rests on the gum tissue but is stabilized and held in place by the snaps.

Due to the minimally invasive nature of this procedure no lengthy healing period is required. This means that in most cases lower dentures can be stabilized the same day that mini implants are placed. Because these mini implants can be placed in less than 2 hours patients of all ages find the procedure very tolerable.

Another very pleasant advantage of utilizing the mini implant system is the cost. With the reduced surgical time and the ability to convert an existing lower denture this treatment option can be made available at an extremely affordable price.
