Your teeth are
an important part of your personal appearance
and lifestyle. Your beautiful smile enhances
your overall presence, and healthy teeth allow
you to eat and speak with confidence.
Healthy teeth
are not something to be taken for granted.
Cavities, gum disease, and accidents are everyday
occurrences that can lead to the loss of teeth.
The loss of one tooth or several teeth can
compromise your eating habits, speech, and
appearance. In addition, when a tooth is lost,
the bone that surrounds the tooth root can
deteriorate affecting your appearance and
bite.
Fortunately, now, our
latest immediate “Speedy Groovy™” implants have
offered a solution for not only immediately replacing
your teeth. These new Dental implants provide a stable
foundation for a tooth replacement that looks, feels,
and functions like your natural teeth immediately.
Recently, much has been done on placing implants,
loading them almost immediately, and then delivering
replacement teeth within a few DAYS!
Thanks to Groovy™ – our new and unique grooved
threads implant. Since bone forms more rapidly in
the grooves, the GroovyTM implants integrate faster
than another implants and are indicated whenever
immediate or early loading is applied. The Groovy
implants are preferred over models without the groove
in soft bone indications.
• Bone forms preferentially
within the grooves, compared to other parts of the
implant
• Enhanced osseoconductive
properties of the grooves and a guiding effect on
bone forming cells
• Up to 30%
increase in stability from mechanical interlock
created by bone formation within the groove
What’s
new in Groovy™?

Grooves
on all our implantsYou will now have
the grooves on the threads of all our implants
and on the collars, where appropriate.
|
 |
Groovy
on the collar too
With research showing that bone loves bonding
with grooves, we have extended them to the collar
of most new implants so they:
• Increase surface area
• Increase area for bone-to-implant contact
|

TiUnite
is the most significant breakthrough in Osseointegration
today. The unique oxidized surface
unites the biocompatibility of commercially
pure titanium with an enhanced oxide surface
and an optimized texture. TiUnite incorporates
a multifaceted approach to influence the complex
biological events that make osseointegration
possible. |
Upon
insertion, the early bone healing phase is enhanced
by the textured titanium oxide surface. Textured
surfaces are known to accelerate the initial
healing phase through absorption of protein,
the accumulation and activation of platelets,
fibrin retention, and consequently an increased
amount of surrounding bone.

TiUnite®
- now 'all the way up'
Our unique implant surface, TiUnite®, is
a biomaterial with better ability to maintain
primary stability than machined surface implants,
while shortening healing times. Numerous studies
have revealed that TiUnite® enhances the
rate of osseointegration, which supports Immediate
Function™ and makes it possible for a
wider range of indications. The surface roughness
has been increased, giving the fixture optimal
surface texture with an enlarged surface area. |
The surface texture was achieved by increasing
the thickness of the titanium oxide layer. The
unique combination of controlled oxide texture
and porosity will aid in the ability to absorb
proteins from the patient's blood for optimal
biologic effect.

As
a result, dental implants may be just the immediate
tooth replacement solution you are looking for.
Step by Step
The course of treatment described here is one of several options available. Consult Our implant dentists to find out what the best solution is for you, given your specific condition. |
|
1: Before the procedure
Our implant dentist makes a first examination and takes one or more x-rays of the area to prepare for the procedure. |
|
2: Installing the implant
The implant is installed. At this time, if your bone is good, a temporary tooth is provided that allows you eat and function like normal almost immediately. The implant will need a few months to integrate with the jawbone before the next step is taken.
|
 |
3: Attaching the new crown
The final step is the placement of the permanent ceramic tooth. The new tooth is installed for life. No additional treatment is needed.
|
 |
4: End result
You should expect the new tooth to fit and function just like a natural tooth. Do your usual dental hygiene to keep the tooth and gum around it clean and healthy. |
