Dental
Implants & Prosthetics
There are several options to consider when replacing missing
teeth. Two common types of dental
prosthetics are conventional dentures and dental implants.
Dentures and implants are very similar in function, but
dentures are inserted by fitting new teeth between already
existing ones. Implants are added by surgically putting
metal nuts into the gum, and screwing the new teeth into the
nuts with small screws found at the end of each tooth.
The choice depends on the amount of bone available, the
patient's general health and restoration preference.
At
Carlos A. Tamayo, DDS, Inc., we are proud to offer
Imtec MDI Technology. The Sendax MDI System is a
smaller version of the dental implant and was developed in
order to provide greater denture stability for those
patients who cannot withstand the rigors of conventional
implant surgery, do not have enough bone to allow for
full-sized implants to be placed, or are in on-going therapy
from one prosthetic system to another.
We
offer many different kinds of Prosthetics ~ some are:
