Narrow Dental Implants

The development of long term Narrow Dental Implants now allows Dr. Lieu to place anchors in the jaw during one non-invasive treatment.  The most common use for Narrow Dental Implants is the stabilization of dentures and overdentures which firmly anchor the dental prosthesis. There is no longer any need to suffer with ill-fitting, loose dentures.

What is the configuration of narrow dental implants?

A Narrow Dental Implant is a tiny dental implant (similar to a screw) that is designed to act in place of a natural tooth root.  They are generally constructed from titanium and are either sprayed with calcium phosphate, or contain it along the length of the screw portion.  The design and structure promotes quick healing and long lasting results.  The head portion of the implant looks very much like a ball or a cylinder which fits firmly into the retaining mechanism and together these structures hold the dentures at a designated level.  The dentures sit comfortably on the gum tissue and are able to withstand significant amounts of pressure and natural force.

What are the advantages of Narrow Dental Implant placement?

Narrow Dental Implants are a true innovation for people who are reluctant to have invasive dental surgery and for denture wearers.  They offer a viable treatment choice for patients who have experienced extensive bone loss and don’t require invasive surgery.
