MDL: Miniaturization: The beginning of a new technological era.

As in many aspects of medicine and technology, the art of miniaturization can offer a host of new and exciting advantages.  This is especially true for denture wearers, who are often plagued with a multitude of problems.  MDL Implants are dental implants scaled down to a smaller dimension with a modified self-threading pilot tip. The process of miniaturization also offers significant benefits.. you no longer have to deal with multiple surgeries and extended healing periods.  The mini implant simply threads itself into the bone and is immediately held tightly in place and the elastic properties of your jawbone provide immediate fixation and stabilization.  This procedure can be accomplished in one session and your existing denture can easily be retrofitted for the system.  Thanks to the MDL Denture Retention System technology, in addition to a pleasant, natural looking smile, you should be able to wear dentures that are solid, secure, stable and functional.

MDL Mini Dental Implants.

The MDL system consists of mini self-tapping dental implants.  Because of their small size an incision is not required to place them. They are threaded directly into the bone through your gum tissue and are immediately held fast due to the elastic properties of bone.

The upper part of the implant has the same features as a standard-sized implant; that is, an area to protect the gums and a fixture head designed for a specific purpose.  In this case, to secure and stabilize your denture.  Once in place, the location of each fixture is ten retro-fitted with a precision attachment that will snap onto each implant head.

MDL Denture Retentive System

1. Your denture is fabricated as a normal denture.
2. Four or more MDL Implants are placed in one visit. The procedure required only a few drops of local anaesthesia.  Each implant is placed quickly and easily.  Your denture is then retro-fitted to snap into the mini implant retention heads.  The MDL system required no extensive surgery, and with some care, are ready for immediate use.
3. Go out and enjoy life.  Laugh, smile, talk and celebrate by having a great lunch or dinner…

Care and Maintenance

1. You must clean around each MDL fixture with a conventional or electric toothbrush to keep debris and bacteria from accumulating on them, just as on real teeth.  They won’t hurt your fixture.  But may cause irritation to the surrounding gums or prevent your denture from fitting properly.  Brush them just as you would your teeth.
2. Your dentures should be kept in a cleaning solution every night.  Before placing them, make sure each attachment receptacle is clean and free from debris.  Your dentist will suggest cleaning methods appropriate for your case.
