Snap Tite Mini

Pittsburgh, PA implant dentist Dr. Michael Corsello provides many options for replacing missing teeth, including dental implants. Dental implants require installing a titanium metal post into the jawbone of the missing tooth, where it heals around the post, holding it firmly in position. SnapTite Mini dental implants are smaller, needing less bone and providing a faster treatment process for patients choosing these implants.
The benefits to receiving SnapTite Mini implants, include the following:
  • The titanium posts are much smaller, and therefore requires less recovery time.
  • They are less expensive than conventional implants.
  • The treatment process is less complicated or time consuming than traditional implants.
  • They are installed in a single office visit.
  • Less bone retention in the jaw is needed for SnapTite mini implants.
While traditional dental implants take 3-6 months for the treatment, SnapTite Mini implants are accomplished in a single visit. They are about half the size, so they don’t need as much bone or as much healing time to complete and put an abutment on top of the post
 
If you are ready to replace one or multiple missing teeth with SnapTite Mini’s, contact our dental office in Pittsburgh, PA to get started.

SnapTite SR

SnapTite SR implants are a type of screw-retained dentures that provide more stability for people with missing teeth. Traditional dentures can be made of high quality, but our patients still have the risk of them shifting while they are talking or eating. Removable dentures always have this risk, but screw-retained hybrid dentures, such as the SnapTite SR we provide here at our Pittsburgh, PA dental implant office, have more stability to prevent shifting of teeth.
 
Some features of the SnapTite SR dentures, which are a non-removable rigid fixation appliance, include
  • being retained by the same titanium screws used in dental implants.
  • using just four implants to put them in place.
  • having the ability to be removed here in our office for maintenance and professional cleaning.
  • being made of strong and durable materials, including composite resin or ceramic. This makes them look and feel like real teeth that don’t shift or become embarrassing for our patients.
Our office uses advanced technology to create the SnapTite SR dentures for better quality and convenience. CAM/CAD technology helps us make the dentures with a high amount of accuracy and in less time.
