Dental Implants - Natural Function With A Natural Look

Implant dentistry merges art and experience with science to create naturally functioning replacement teeth. A dental implant serves as a replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. Like tooth roots, dental implants are secured in the jawbone and are not visible once placed. Implants are made of titanium, which has a special property of fusing to bone. This fusion is called “osseointegration” and is the basis of dental implant success. Dental implants have the highest success rate of any implanted surgical device. Read more about how dental implants work.

When teeth are lost, the bone that supported those roots is lost too. Placing implants stabilizes this bone, and prevents bone loss. Implants help maintain the jawbone’s shape, and supports the overal facial structure of the skeleton. Dental implants help you eat, chew, talk; all in a completely natural fashion.

What are Mini Dental Implants?

Have you been considering dental implants? There are a wide variety of implant options, depending on your treatment needs. One of the options available to our patients at South Coast Family Dentistry are Mini Dental Implants or MDI.

Mini Dental Implants (MDI) are very similar to a traditional dental implants, except the titanium post used is much smaller. Mini dental implants take the place of a tooth root and are anchored into the jawbone. They were originally designed to retain dentures, but as the technology evolved so have the dental uses. Mini Dental Implant Advantages • Significantly lower cost • Smaller implant size • Greatly reduced post-implantation recovery time • Dentures or other appliances can be installed and removed easily due to design Unlike a traditional dental implant, which consists of two pieces, a mini dental implant is a single piece fitting with a ball end. The ball end snaps into a socket that is attached to a dental appliance such as a denture. In addition to retaining dentures, mini dental implants have been used instead of traditional dental implants for a single tooth replacement, if the biting stresses are not too great.
