3M™ ESPE™ MDI
Mini Dental Implants
Minimally invasive
denture stabilization
Minimally invasive – highly profitable
It’s so easy to make your denture patients smile.
Living with a removable denture has never been a pure pleasure. Full-sized implants, on the other hand, are expensive and
are not suitable for everyone, depending on their oral situation. Now you can finally offer your edentulous patients the happy
medium: MDI Mini Dental Implants by 3M ESPE – an affordable, simple and proven solution for denture stabilization.
MDI implants are particularly beneficial for patients who have too little money, time or bone for traditional, full-sized implants.
And it‘s much sturdier and far more comfortable than adhesive cream. As well, because the procedure is so quick and simple,
it reduces patients’ discomfort and thus their fear of treatment.
As the demand for dentures continues to boom, there has never been a better time to start offering the MDI implants treatment plan in your practice. The uncomplicated and minimally invasive procedure makes it highly attractive, and thanks to its
low cost many elderly patients will opt for it. Demographic change means a new and profitable business for MDI implants.
By offering a quick chairside procedure at a reasonable cost of materials, you open your practice to a growing segment of
patients in this age bracket.
