MINI IMPLANTS, SNAP ON OVERDENTURES

Mini implants are less than 3mm in width and often one solid

piece with a ball type structure that snaps into a denture. They

can also be used in narrow spaces for single tooth replacement.

Short implants can be used where there is not enough bone

length, avoiding additional procedures such as a sinus lift.

Patients with lost bone volume or a loose denture are often great candidates for mini implants, since placement is less invasive and healing time is typically shorter.

SURGICAL GUIDES IN DENTISTRY

Many of our implants can also be placed with digital 3D computer guided technology. This technology 3D prints a surgical template to place the implant with accurate precision.

A guide built from your own scan means less guesswork, a shorter appointment, and a more predictable outcome than freehand placement.

PORCELAIN DENTAL IMPLANTS

Porcelain zirconia dental implants are a newer holistic implant material that many surgeons and dentists are not yet familiar with. Porcelain dental implants are becoming the choice material for patient with certain allergies.

Patients who prefer a metal-free option often ask specifically about zirconia; we're happy to discuss whether it fits your case at your consultation.

TOOTH EXTRACTIONS AND IMMEDIATE IMPLANTS

In the event the tooth is broken down beyond saving we will do our best to keep you comfortable during tooth removal. If there is a large or active infection around the tooth needing removal you may need to be on a course of antibiotics before the tooth can be removed. Modern techniques enable us to often remove a tooth and place an implant on the same visit.

We'll always discuss whether your socket is ready for an immediate implant or needs a short healing period with grafting first.

Our team also performs gentle dental extractions in Quincy, MA patients trust, whether an implant follows.

BONE GRAFT, GUIDED BONE REGENERATION

We are happy to discuss your options of maintaining a healthy level of supporting bone after a tooth is removed. There are a variety of methods to attain this goal using different product choices. Please call our office to schedule a consultation.
