What are Dental Implants?

Dental Implants are today's best alternative to natural teeth. They are tooth replacements that allow you to function more normally than conventional dentures and bridges. They can be the foundation for greatly improved smiles and overall facial appearance.

Are Dental Implants "Approved"?

Absolutely. The developmental phase of dental implantology ended more than two decades ago. Technology is always being improved, but research studies have clearly established the effectiveness of dental implants. Our Omni Tight Dental Implants are manufactured from safe, biocompatible materials. All implant devices are regulated by agencies of the federal government.

What can implants do for me?

Dental implants can provide a level of self confidence that dentures, bridges and conventional kinds of tooth replacement can not. Eating, smiling and speaking are as normal as with natural teeth. The embarrassment, irritation, and self-consciousness often experienced by people who wear dentures or who have suffered through older methods of tooth replacement are overcome with the confidence of permanently anchored dental implants. Today, for hundreds of thousands of people around the world, dental implants are a new-found source of security and confidence in family, social and business activities.

Is there an age limit?

Dental implants have been found to be beneficial for children, adults, and the elderly. The procedure is often the foundation for substantially improved function and esthetics in a variety of dental situations. Whether for a single missing tooth or for replacement of all of a patient's teeth, dental implants are now recognized as standard treatment for a full range of problems.

• Enhancement of appearance
  
• Self-confidence
  
• Restoration of normal eating
  
• Restoration of normal speaking
  
• Improved denture retention

Because of the growing public awareness that implants can improve overall health and well-being, at any age, the use of dental implants has tripled since 1986. The availability of extensive data on the high rate of long-term success of these procedures has also added to increased use of implants for more and more people of every age.

Why should I consider Basic Dental Implants?

Don't let our name give you the wrong impression. Basic, or Bio-Anatomic System Implant Company, does not produce some generic, low-budget implant. By drawing on the research and lessons learned from over twenty-five years of implant placement, we were able to improve upon the procedure and implant design to make it more compatible with the general dentist. Since its inception, the system has gone through continual improvement, distilling the implant and componentry to their most basic and fundamental level.

In addition to the benefits of implants, Basic Dental Implant offers the patient some unique benefits:

• Basic Dental Implants are placed by your general dentist so there is usually no need to see a specialist.
  
• Basic Dental Implants are usually less expensive than other systems.
  
• Other implants are placed by "laying a flap" which is considerably more traumatic and uncomfortable than the Basic procedure which allows the dentist to place the implant without laying a flap in most cases.
  
• Other systems require two surgeries, one to place and one to uncover the implant. Basic Implants are placed in a single-stage procedure.
