Your teeth were designed
to last a lifetime, but sometimes they don't! Replacing missing
teeth is important to your general health and to the health
of your other teeth. Not only do you lose chewing ability
when a tooth is lost, but unreplaced teeth can cause other
teeth to be lost, tipped or crowded and create subsequent
problems. Also, there are the obvious problems of poor appearance
and loss of self-esteem caused by one or more missing teeth.
Dental implants should always
be considered as an option to replace a failing or missing
tooth. Replacement of lost teeth with dental implants has
been used for treating missing teeth for more than 50 years
and is recognized as an effective treatment choice. Treatment
is considered more predictable than bridgework, resin bonded
bridges and endodontic treatment.
The Mini Dental Implant (MDI) System, from Imtec, 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. It is used 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.
Nobel Biocare dental implants are intended for use in either the upper and/or the lower jaw to support prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth. By integrating with the jaw, they enable restorations that range from replacement of one single tooth to an entire arch of bridgework, or as stabilizing elements for overdenture applications. Nobel Biocare manufactures dental implants from titanium, which is both biocompatible and strong.
NobelGuide™ is a surgical treatment based on guided keyhole surgery that is
minimally invasive. NobelGuides were created through the efforts of biomedical engineers to assist reconstructive dentists in providing the best implant experience for practically all types of tooth replacement needs. This reduces pain and swelling considerably
for the patient compared to conventional treatment. The new concept
also reduces the number of appointments and chairtime for
the patient, which means fewer interruptions in everyday life. This new revolutionary technology, provides:
Long lasting, beautiful teeth
Minimally invasive procedure
Greatly shortened treatment time compared to
traditional procedure
Teeth-in-an-Hour™ Option*
