ATLAS

Retain, Stabilize, Cushion

The Atlas® Implant System is designed for long-term use to retain and stabilize dentures.

Eliminating the hardware typically associated with overdentures, the Atlas System uses no O-rings, no housings, no adhesives.

Instead, the unique Tuf-Link™ silicone reline is mechanically secured within the denture by an undercut and provides a cushioned fit for stress-free denture insertion, retention, and removal.

Advantages and Limitations of Dentures

For the edentulous patient, dentures offer many advantages compared to the alternatives. Dentures can be esthetically pleasing, they provide support for both vertical and horizontal profiles, they are easy to maintain and cost effective.

However, these benefits are often hampered by patient discomfort, difficulties in chewing, problems with pronunciation, laughing and smiling.

To compensate, denture wearers often change their daily routines and diets in ways that expose them to general health risks. Today with greater focus on the relationship between dentistry and systemic health, we recognize that edentulism has a direct impact on patients’ overall health with problems ranging from psychological, to nutritional and digestive concerns.

As a result, many dentists are hesitant to readily recommend dentures as a viable solution, but one treatment option will dramatically improve the quality of life of denture patients.

 The Simple Solution for Denture Comfort

Dentatus Atlas Implant System consists of 4 or 6 implants and the Tuf-Link silicone liner. The liner compensates for ridge changes and bone resorption, cushioning the denture-ridge interface while optimizing patient comfort.

This is accomplished without the use of housings, O-rings or adhesives and therefore overcomes restrictions of parallelism, space, stress, and the other limiting obstacles of the edentulous arch. Patients will no longer suffer with sore spots caused by a hard-acrylic denture base rubbing against the sensitive gingival tissue.

Tuf-Link is easy to maintain and retains its resiliency for 18-24 months. Tuf-Link will not disintegrate over time, ensuring protection of the implants.

The minimally invasive Atlas procedure is often performed without a surgical flap, depending on ridge anatomy. Atlas implants can be loaded immediately, and thus patients can leave the single-visit chairside procedure with a cushioned, comfortable, and stable denture. Patients express very high satisfaction while wearing their Atlas retained dentures and appreciate the ease of inserting and removing their dentures.

With Atlas Denture Comfort, patients are assured of having prostheses that look and feel like their very own teeth. They enjoy healthier and better-looking smiles. Bone loss in the ridge is decreased, and patients experience substantial relief from the pain and discomfort of ill-fitting dentures. The stabilization of their prosthesis gives patients a heightened quality of life that only comes from the confidence of being able to laugh, to speak and to eat like once before.
