The Dental Difference

Mini Dental Implants: A True Innovation in Dentistry

Mini Dental Implants (MDIs) have changed the face of implant dentistry. Unlike traditional implant placement, where multiple dental visits are often required, MDIs can eliminate the need for extensive surgery. The most common use for MDIs is the stabilization of dentures and overdentures. MDIs firmly anchor the dental prosthesis, which means there is no longer a need to suffer with ill-fitting, loose and ANNOYING dentures!

MDIs are designed to eliminate elaborate bone grafting and to expedite treatment. Traditional implants may require significant bone grafting and a longer recovery period. The latent period allows the anchor of the implant to properly embed itself into the jawbone. The smaller size of MDIs means that no recovery period is possible, and the denture can be fitted the same day.

What are the advantages of MDI placement?

MDIs are a true innovation for people who are reluctant to have invasive dental surgery and who are suffering denture wearers. One significant advantage MDIs have over traditional implants is that they offer a viable treatment choice for patients who have experienced extensive bone loss. Depending on the quality and density of jawbone available at the implant site, four or more of these mini implants may be implanted at one time. The most common use for MDIs is to stabilize a lower denture, however they can be placed anywhere in the mouth.

Other advantages associated with MDIs may include:

• Better smelling breath

• More self-esteem

• Clearer speech

• Easier chewing and biting

• Easier cleaning

• Firmer denture fit

• Good success rate

• Less denture discomfort

• No cutting or sutures

• No need for adhesives or messy bonding agents

• No rotting food beneath the denture

• No slipping or wobbling

• Quick treatment time

• Reduced costs

How are mini dental implants placed?

The whole mini dental implant placement procedure takes approximately one hour. Generally, in the case of lower jaw implants, four to six MDIs will be placed about 5mm apart. Prior to inserting MDIs, Dr. Mosmen will use many diagnostic and planning tools to find the optimal location to implant them.

After placement, a denture will be modified and affixed to the MDIs. The rubber O-ring on each MDI snaps into the designated spot on the denture, and the denture then rests snugly on the gum tissue. MDIs hold the denture comfortably in a tight-fitting way for the lifetime of that implant.

In almost all cases, no stitching is required, and no real discomfort is felt after the procedure. When the denture placement procedure is complete, light eating can be resumed. The denture can be removed and cleaned at will. MDIs enhance the natural beauty of the smile and restore full functionality to the teeth.

If you have any questions about mini dental implants, please call Dr. Kevin Mosmen for a FREE consultation appointment to see if you’re a candidate for this procedure or traditional implants.

“We created online classes and made art kits that people could pick up on the porch. We would make the kits with paints and canvas or other crafts that could be worked on at home.”

The name Leaping Dog studio name came from Szeto’s own leaping dog, Liza, who is now 15 years old. When thinking of the name Szeto thought of how Liza, a yellow Labrador retriever, would be so happy at time she would leap boundlessly.

“I thought, a yellow lab, off the leash is such a joyful being. I secured the website domain name, that night and Leaping Dog Art Studio was born,” she says.

“We were greeted very warmly from the beginning. We were filling a need in Bordentown for sure. We do also get students from Hamilton, Chesterfield, Florence, Princeton and even as far as Philadelphia.

“We began as a place for Mom and kids and then added classes for mom and dads by themselves. We help preschool kids develop their motor skills, but also help the kids develop their social skills. This is definitely a place for social interaction.”

More programs were added as calls came in for adult art classes and requests for paint and sip parties. “There is just this need to create something that people have. The staff and I figure the kids and adult classes are divided 50% love to create and 50% meeting new friends and continuing relationships,” she says.

The Leaping Dog Studio has 7 instructors on staff. There are classes offered for kids and adults in drawing, painting, cartooning and ceramics. The classes are once a week, and three sessions are offered; fall spring and summer. There are also summer camps for kids which are very popular.

The studio now has eight wheels for throwing clay and also offers classes for hand building with clay. Ceramics classes take a lot of effort and skill to finish the pieces to their conclusion. After the initial throwing of the pot or building of the piece, there is time to allow drying, then glazing and finally firing or baking of the clay.

Szeto taught herself the skills needed to run a successful ceramics program, during the quarantine time of the pandemic and now the studio has two kilns that are very busy. For artists who wish to work in clay but cannot commit to a class schedule, there is open studio time where they can come in and work on their pieces on their own schedule.

Being positioned squarely on Farnsworth Avenue, Leaping Dog is happy to be able to participate in the various street fairs and festivals that occur during the year, such as the Cranberry Festival, Bordentown Street Fair and Bordentown Porch Fest.

“We have an open house and even have had tables out front offering the students work for sale to the public. We work with fundraisers and try to be very community minded,” she says.

“The studio offers a family atmosphere and probably 50% of our student are repeat students. We love that they keep coming back and we can see the progress they make in their art.”

Looking to the future, Szeto would like to be able to offer more room and capacity for classes, especially ceramics.

“The students love working in clay so much. It is wildly popular,” she says.

Providing a means to create, teaching artistic skills and methods while allowing fun interaction with the community of artists and art lovers. Leaping Dog Art Studios fulfills and creates a need at the same time.
