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:

• Cast Metal Partial

• Metal Free Removable Partial

• Sendax MDI System ~ Mini Implants

• Sport Guards

• Night Guards
