What Are MDI Implants?

The MDI System consists of a miniature implant that acts like the root of your tooth and a retaining fixture that is incorporated into the base of your denture.  The head of the implant is shaped like a ball, and the retaining fixture act like a socket that contains a rubber O-ring.  The O-ring snaps over the ball when the dentures is seated and holds the denture at a predetermined level of force.  When seated the denture rests gently 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 our office, with local anesthesia or light sedation to help make you more comfortable.  Using a precise, controlled, minimally invasive surgical technique, MDI Implants are placed into the jawbone.  The heads of the implants protrude form 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.
