Springfield Dental Center Welcomes Patients to Mini Dental Implant Dentistry

Jan. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- SPRINGFIELD, MO — The Springfield, MO dental practice Barnett-Davis Dental Group is now providing patients with the revolutionary benefits of mini dental implant dentistry. This unique approach to modern dentistry offers new opportunities for individuals who have lost one or more teeth. For the first time, dentists can replace missing teeth with cement-supported implants and/or removable restorations in as little as one visit.
The caring staff at Barnett-Davis Dental Group is specially trained to provide mini implant treatment. The process begins with a consultation visit to determine if the patient is a candidate for implant placement. On the second visit, the dentists take computerized radiographs and impressions, and then the implants are placed on a third visit.
Without the complications of major oral surgery and long healing times, patients treated with mini implants are walking out the door and able to speak and enjoy the foods they desire without the fear of their removable dentures slipping out of place. In fact, the procedure is simple enough to be conducted with as little as one local anesthetic to numb the implant area.
“Mini dental implants are a great evolution in dental implant treatment and restorative dentistry,” said Springfield, MO dentist Dr. Tracy Davis of the Barnett-Davis Dental Group. “Not only is this treatment less-invasive and has a short recovery time, mini implants are also less expensive than other restoratives.”
With half the cost of conventional dental implants, mini implants are an affordable and equally reliable dental restorative to conventional implants adds Dr. Marc Barnett. Besides providing patients with renewed confidence and the ability to eat and speak without embarrassment, mini implants can also anchor dentures or cemented crowns and bridges. They also help preserve bone structure and facial appearance.
The Barnett-Davis Dental Group, a Springfield dental (http://www.barnettdavisdental.com/) practice,  provides many family dental services, including cosmetic, restorative, and preventative dental services. As a practice providing Springfield, MO cosmetic dentistry services, the practice offers Invisalign orthodontics, laser teeth whitening, bonding, porcelain veneers, tooth shaping, and more. The group’s restorative services include dentures, conventional and mini implants, crowns, bridges, root canals, and surgical procedures. Barnett-Davis’ preventative treatments include cleanings, sealant protection, athletic mouth guards, laser cavity detection, gum disease therapy, anti-snoring treatment, a patient education system, and more.
“Our practice takes great pleasure in treating our patients,” said Dr. Kelly Barnett. “Whether its preventative, cosmetic, or restorative treatment, we always provide quality treatment with as little expense to the patient as possible.”
