Mini Implants - Edentulous Jaw Treatment Choice
Achieving Balance in Cosmetics and Ideal Dental Function
Dentures no longer have to be uncomfortable, loose fitting, noisey and difficult to eat with.
Recent advances in Prosthodontics and denture fabrication processes, coupled with the intelligent use of mini dental implants enables creative dentists to offer treatment outcomes that were once thought unaffordable by many patients.
Dr. Nazarian provides a wide variety of tooth replacement technologies that incorporate the use of Imtec Mini Dental Implants (MDI), the company that is considered to be the innovators of denture implant devices.
The adjacent drawing reflects a common configuration of mini implant devices in the lower (mandibular) jaw and the o-ring fasteners that will align with the metal housings that are incorporated into the denture or fixed bridge by Dr. Nazarian.
Placement of mini implant devices including Imtec, Oco Biomedical and our Sterngold implants are now available for use in the upper arch. For some patients upper mini implants may permit the use of a palateless denture that can easily eliminate the gag reflex issue that many patients seek to avoid.

Implant placement is usually dictated by the integrity of the jawbone and usually varies from patient to patient. While this graphic shows placement of 4 implants, many patients may choose to have more implants placed, wherever possible.
The Imtec implant, because of its inherent design features and size, eliminates the need for time consuming bone grafting procedures which typically require several months of healing that integrates the implant with the jawbone (process of osseointegration).
