Bone Anchored Prosthetics

An implanted system is an option for patients for a variety of reasons and needs. Magnet clip or pin systems offer a variety of considerations as well. It is recommended that prospective patients research this subject and have previous experience with an adhesive-retained prosthesis before committing to a more permanent approach.
It takes an artist as well as a prosthetist to restore lives…

Osseo-Integration (Bone Anchored Implants)

A facial prosthesis can be held in place with either adhesive or a bone-anchored system that uses either clips or magnets. Genesis can fit for any of these methods of retention.
Osseointegration is the use of titanium implants that "bond" with the bone to allow the use of magnets or a "bar and clip" system to hold a prosthesis in place, replacing various adhesives. It is a surgical procedure that requires several stages before a prosthesis can be fit with that form of retention.
