What are MIDI Implants? |

Dental implants are the only permanent solution for missing teeth. Unlike other tooth replacement options such as dental bridges, dental implants are secured into your jawbone to act like a natural tooth root. |

The process for dental implants can take several months and will involve one or more complex surgical procedures. This process is necessary to ensure a strong hold for a porcelain crown, but requires sufficient bone structure for successful implantation. People who do not have enough bone density to support dental implants have traditionally had to look for other solutions for tooth replacement – often ending up with ill-fitting, uncomfortable dentures as their only option.
Advancements in dental implant technology and procedures have now created MIDI, or mini implants. This exciting new implant procedure can provide a solution for denture wearers, and offer similar functional results to traditional dental implants in a fraction of the time.
MIDI Implants
MIDI implants are similar to traditional dental implants in that they are inserted directly into your jawbone. The primary difference is that MIDI implants are so narrow that this placement can often be done without the surgical removal of gum tissue. This not only reduces the time required for implant placement, it makes them available to people who have not been ideal candidatesfor dental implants in the past.
Like traditional dental implants, MIDI implants are used to secure a false tooth. In the case of MIDI implants, these teeth are typically dentures instead of a porcelain crown. By securing your dentures to MIDI implants, you prevent slippage while also providing additional strength to your bite. Implants help protect the structure of your jaw, preventing jaw shrinkage which can occur when dentures are secured with adhesives. In addition, by having MIDI implants placed, you reduce the hassle and maintenance required by adhering your dentures to your gums on a daily basis.
MIDI implants offer an ideal solution to denture wearers who are seeking a stronger, more aesthetically pleasing smile. Working closely with an experienced implant dentist in your area, this permanent solution for holding dentures in place can often be achieved in just one office visit.
