Branson, MO — Dental decay is on the rise among American children, teens and young adults. But, given the advantages of modern technology and dental techniques why should that be?

SPRINGFIELD, MO — The Springfield 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. (more…)
