The MDI System consists 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. The O-ring snaps over the ball denture at a predetermined level of force. When seated, the denture gently rest on the gum tissue. The implant fixtures allow for micro-modility while withstanding natural lifting forces.

How Are MDI Implants Placed?

Placement of the implants is accomplished quickly in Dr. Pick's office, with local anesthesia or light sedation to help make you more comfortable. Using a precise, controlled, minimally invasive surgical technique, MDI Implants are placed into the jawbone. The heads of the implants protrude from the gum tissue and provide a strong, solid foundation for securing your dentures.  It is a one-step procedure that involves minimally invasive surgery, no sutures nor the typical months of healing.
