Implants

Dental implant therapy has been one of the most significant advances in dentistry over the past twenty-five years. There are several different types implants and restorations available and the choice depends on a few factors. Those factors are: the amount of bone available, the patient’s general health and the preference of restoration. The option that will work best for you can be discussed in great detail with the doctor.

Placement of the mini implants is accomplished easily and quickly in a procedure performed right in our office with either local anesthesia or conscious sedation. Using a precise, controlled and minimally invasive technique, the implants are placed into the jawbone. The titanium implant acts like the root of your tooth and the head of the implant that is shaped like a ball protrudes from the gum tissue providing a solid foundation for your restoration. Because of the minimally invasive nature of this procedure, the healing period is not a lengthy period and the care and maintenance of your implants is as if they were your own natural teeth.

A specific technique for these mini implants has revolutionized dentistry for denture stabilization. What this means for denture wearers is a denture that feels secure and is being held firmly in place, which means you can eat comfortably, laugh and talk with confidence. It can truly improve the quality of your life.

IMTEC is the global leader in minimally invasive implantology. They produce high quality and comprehensive systems that meet and exceed the regulations set by the authorities and the guidelines of the FDA. This is one reason why Dr. Silvestri continues to attend more of their hands-on seminars and continues to offer more treatment options for our patients looking to improve their smiles.
