Narrow Locator Implants
Secure Implant Options for Patients with Limited Bone
At North Mankato Dentistry, our goal is to provide patients with the most effective and advanced treatment options. That’s why we are proud to offer Locator Dental Implants, a versatile solution for patients who require added stability and function. Depending on your needs, Dr. Flack or Dr. Schuck may recommend this system during your initial consultation.
What Is the Locator Overdenture Implant (LODI) System?
The Locator Overdenture Implant (LODI) System is specifically designed for patients who need narrow-diameter implants, often due to age, bone loss, or low bone density. This system provides an excellent alternative for patients who may not be candidates for traditional, wider implants.
Benefits of the LODI System:
- Minimally invasive placement with narrow implant design
- Progressive threads for enhanced primary stability
- Self-tapping feature for easier insertion and improved retention
- RBM surface technology along the implant for better bone integration
- Available as a two-piece system with the trusted LOCATOR® Attachment
- Option for a one-piece unibody system with a pivoting O-Ball Attachment
Why Choose Locator Dental Implants?
Locator Dental Implants are an excellent option for patients who want greater stability and comfort with their dentures. Traditional dentures often shift, slip, or cause sore spots, making it difficult to eat or speak with confidence. Locator implants solve this by securing the denture to small implants placed in the jaw, creating a snug and stable fit.
With Locator implants, patients benefit from:
- Improved chewing and speaking ability compared to traditional dentures
- Secure fit with no slipping or shifting
- Smaller implant design that works well even in cases of bone loss
- Easy maintenance with attachment systems that allow for simple cleaning
- Enhanced comfort and confidence in daily life
