| Dental Services - Implants |
If you have teeth missing, you know your situation is not only inconvenient,
but can have an effect on your overall health. There is an alternative to
crowns, bridges and dentures. A dental implant is secure, permanent and can
return the confidence you feel with strong teeth.
This surgical procedure places implants below the gums where the implants
actually fuse with your jawbone, using your body’s natural healing to create
an anchor. These implants are then used as a base to securely hold your
replacement teeth in place.
You need to speak with your doctor at Christie Dental if you are interested
in dental implants. Not everyone is a candidate. Because surgery is involved
you must be in good health, have healthy gums and your bones must be strong
enough to support the procedure. Also, dental implants must be cared for
over time, just like natural teeth. Regular visits to Christie Dental and
daily oral hygiene can mean a lifetime of oral health.
The MDI System
Creating a solid anchor with a miniature titanium implant, The MDI System also
uses a retaining fixture that is incorporated into the base of your denture.
The spherical head of the implant fits securely into the retaining fixture,
which uses a rubber O-ring to help hold the head in place at a predetermined
level of force. When in place the denture rests comfortably on the gums.
