Denture wearers – Now imagine this: You have a morning appointment with Dr. Lambert and have four or five "Mini Dental Implants" placed. Your new or existing denture is now relined over your newly placed implants. By lunchtime, you are able to "snap" your denture into place. You go to lunch and are able to eat, talk, and laugh again with confidence. Your denture feels secure and is firmly held in place!

THE MDI (mini-dental implant) SYSTEM

I have completed a mini-residency presented by the faculty at the IMTEC corporation, the makers of the MDI System. This system is more affordable than "conventional" implants and can be immediately used to stabilize your dentures.

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 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 predetermined level of force. When seated, the denture gently rests on the gum tissue. The implant fixtures allow for micro-mobility while withstanding natural lifting forces.

How are MDI Implants placed?

Placement of the implants is accomplished quickly and easily in a process performed in my office with local anesthesia. Using a precise, controlled, minimally invasive surgical technique, MDI Implants are placed into the jawbone. The heads of the implants protrude from the gum tissue and provide a strong, solid foundation for securing your dentures. It is a one-step procedure that involves minimally invasive surgery, no sutures nor the typical months of healing.

If you are not content with conventional denture stability, I hope you now know that there is an alternative. If you have any questions, or if we can help in any way, please give us a call.
