Stemmed Implant Technology

Dr. Michael P. Lococo Sr. provides comprehensive dental care in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Dr. Lococo’s dental expertise includes the integration of stemmed dental implants. As the founder of stemmed implant technology, he believes this technology can lead to a huge change of direction in dentistry, medicine, and the veterinary healing arts. Stemmed implant technology is the first innovation for dental implants in over three decades. 

Why choose dental implants?

Dental implants are used in dentistry to replace tooth roots with metal, screwlike posts. They replace damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function similarly to real teeth. A missing tooth is a lot more than a gap in your smile. It can have adverse effects on your overall health.  

One of the most common issues with tooth loss is the deterioration of the jawbone. Without teeth to stimulate bone growth, the jawbone will start to resorb. Over time, this will cause your chin to protrude forward and upward. Additionally, when a person is missing teeth, their self-confidence can be affected, causing them to smile less.

What are stemmed dental implants?

Stemmed dental implants are the only screwless implant that reduces procedure time and cost while improving patient outcomes. They were created by Stemmed Implant Technology Inc. (SIT). In comparison to standard dental implants, they have a higher success rate and are user-friendly for doctors. The patented two-pronged contoured design on the implant is biophysically and biomechanically more efficient.  

Through this minimally invasive procedure, the implant is placed through a single-precision placement. There is minimal tissue removal allowing for a smoother and easier recovery for the patient. A quicker recovery means less pain for the patient and provides them with a better quality of life. 

What does the research conclude? 

An engineering comparison completed by Sigma Design in New Jersey concluded that biomechanically and biophysically stemmed devices can withstand dislodging forces better than conventional implants. This helps patients maintain bone structure which protects existing teeth, as well as have the ability to consume the foods they want and smile with confidence. 

Stemmed implant technology can completely change the way modern dentistry is practiced and enhances the doctor and patient experience. Patients will leave the office with a healthy and functional smile which can improve one’s general health. Many researchers believe there's a synergic relationship between oral health and overall wellness.
