Imagine this! Visit your dentist in the morning, have the "Mini-Implant System" placed, then go out and enjoy your favorite lunch. Eat comfortably, have a pleasant conversation, laugh, and talk with confidence. Your denture feels secure and is being held firmly in place. Sounds too good to be true, but it is true.

How does mini-dental implant technology broaden your options? The computer, medical, and dental worlds are working hard to develop smaller and smaller components. A very small version of the dental implant has been successfully utilized in selected cases. These mini-implants (1.8mm diameter) enables us to expand the number of patients that can be treated.

The Sendax MDI system was developed in order to provide greater denture stability for those patients who do not have enough bone to allow for full-sized implants to be placed. The MDI system consist of a miniature titanium implant that acts like the root of your tooth and a retaining fixture that is incorporated into the base of your denture. The head of the implant is shaped like a ball, and the retaining fixture acts like a socket that contains a rubber O-ring. It snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds the denture at predetermined level of force.

When seated the denture gently rest on the gum tissue. The implant fixtures allow for micro-mobility while withstanding natural lifting forces. This allows the denture to stay in place while you are talking or eating. This will allow you to have more confidence as well as comfort.
