Midi Implants

Osteocare Midi Implants - One Visit

As a result of experience with the one piece 'mini' implant systems, Osteocare developed a more robust version with a variety of widths and applications.

These truly amazing implants have allowed a number of 'salvage' jobs to be done thus avoiding extensive and costly bridgework etc. This system has been developed to allow a single crown, small bridges or overdenture retaining studs to be placed in a very simple procedure similar to having a filling. Being a simplified approach, they are generally less expensive than full sized alternatives.

Often these implants can be placed where your bone is just too narrow to accept a full sized implant.

The placement of the implant takes only a few minutes and is performed under local anaesthetic. The gum is punctured by a tiny bur and the implant introduced gently through the gum with minimum fuss. There is not usually any need for stitches in the gum as the puncture site is so small.

Making the Crowns;

After placement the implant protrudes approximately 4mm into the mouth. On to this a temporary crown or bridge may be placed. This is then left for 2-3 months so that the bone fuses with the implant becoming a rigid extension that can then have a definitive crown or bridge made to blend in with the rest of your mouth.
