Mini Implant Dentures: No Small Wonder!

Imagine visiting your dentist in the morning, having the "mini-implant system" placed in under two hours, and then enjoying lunch with a friend at your favorite restaurant! And during your relaxing lunch, you eat comfortably, laugh and talk with confidence - your new denture securely and firmly held in place.

Why and for whom?

The IMTEC MDI System are "mini implants" (1.8mm in diameter), developed to provide greater denture stability for patients who can't withstand conventional dental implant surgery, who don't have enough bone to allow for full-sized implants, or who are in the process of changing from one prosthetic system to another.

What are they and how do they work?

The MDI System consists of a miniature titanium implant acting as the root of your tooth, and a retaining fixture that's incorporated into the base of your denture. When placed, the denture gently rests on the gum tissue and the implant fixtures allow for tiny movements while still withstanding natural lifting forces. Placement of the MDI System can be done quickly and easily at your dentist's office; it is a one-step procedure that involves minimally invasive surgery with no sutures. And healing time is shorter than typical denture placement procedures.
