The
Immediate Implant with Nobel “Speedy Groovy™”
The immediate difference is in the GROOVEs
|
| Your
teeth are an important part of your personal appearance
and lifestyle. Your beautiful smile enhances your
overall presence, and healthy teeth allow you to
eat and speak with confidence.
Healthy teeth are not something
to be taken for granted. Cavities, gum disease,
and accidents are everyday occurrences that can
lead to the loss of teeth. The loss of one tooth
or several teeth can compromise your eating habits,
speech, and appearance. In addition, when a tooth
is lost, the bone that surrounds the tooth root
can deteriorate affecting your appearance and
bite. |
|
Fortunately, now, our latest
immediate “Speedy Groovy™” implants have
offered a solution for not only immediately replacing
your teeth. These new Dental implants provide
a stable foundation for a tooth replacement that
looks, feels, and functions like your natural
teeth immediately. Recently, much has been done
on placing implants, loading them almost immediately,
and then delivering replacement teeth within a
few DAYS!
Thanks to Groovy™ – our
new and unique grooved threads implant. Since
bone forms more rapidly in the grooves, the GroovyTM
implants integrate faster than another implants
and are indicated whenever immediate or early
loading is applied. The Groovy implants are preferred
over models without the groove in soft bone indications.
• Bone forms preferentially within the grooves,
compared to other parts of the implant
• Enhanced osseoconductive properties of the grooves
and a guiding effect on bone forming cells
• Up to 30% increase in stability from mechanical
interlock created by bone formation within the
groove
What’s new in Groovy™?

Grooves on all our implants
You will now have the grooves on the threads of
all our implants and on the collars, where appropriate. |
 |
Groovy on the collar too
With research showing that bone loves bonding with
grooves, we have extended them to the collar of
most new implants so they:
• Increase surface
area
• Increase area for bone-to-implant contact |
 |
TiUnite is the
most significant breakthrough in Osseointegration
today. The unique oxidized surface unites
the biocompatibility of commercially pure titanium
with an enhanced oxide surface and an optimized
texture. TiUnite incorporates a multifaceted approach
to influence the complex biological events that
make osseointegration possible. Upon insertion,
the early bone healing phase is enhanced by the
textured titanium oxide surface. |
Textured
surfaces are known to accelerate the initial healing
phase through absorption of protein, the accumulation
and activation of platelets, fibrin retention, and
consequently an increased amount of surrounding
bone.

TiUnite™
- now 'all the way up'
Our unique implant surface, TiUnite®, is a biomaterial
with better ability to maintain primary stability
than machined surface implants, while shortening
healing times. Numerous studies have revealed that
TiUnite® enhances the rate of osseointegration,
which supports Immediate Function™ and makes
it possible for a wider range of indications. The
surface roughness has been increased, giving the
fixture optimal surface texture with an enlarged
surface area. |
The surface
texture was achieved by increasing the thickness
of the titanium oxide layer. The unique combination
of controlled oxide texture and porosity will aid
in the ability to absorb proteins from the patient's
blood for optimal biologic effect.
|
| As a result,
dental implants may be just the immediate tooth
replacement solution you are looking for. |
Step by Step
The course of treatment described
here is one of several options available. Consult
Our implant dentists to find out what the best solution
is for you, given your specific condition. |
 |
1: Before the procedure
Our implant dentist makes a first
examination and takes one or more x-rays
of the area to prepare for the procedure. |
|
2: Installing the
implant
The implant is installed. At this time,
if your bone is good, a temporary tooth
is provided that allows you eat and function
like normal almost immediately. The implant
will need a few months to integrate with
the jawbone before the next step is taken.
|
 |
3: Attaching the
new crown
The final step is the placement of the permanent
ceramic tooth. The new tooth is installed
for life. No additional treatment is needed.
|
 |
4: End result
You should expect the new tooth to fit and
function just like a natural tooth. Do your
usual dental hygiene to keep the tooth and
gum around it clean and healthy.
