Do you have dentures that slip around or are just plain uncomfortable to chew and to talk ? Mini implants may be the solution!

Mini dental implants are extremely valuable for edentulous (denture) patients that have loose LOWER dentures and want an easy solution to secure them in place.

Most denture patients have highly resorbed, thin jawbones (Mandible and/or maxillary bones) and bone addition or graft, is required for a standard dental implant solution. If you have been told you are not a candidate for a regular implant due to bone loss don’t worry.  You could still qualify for a mini implant. 

Placing the mini implants is a non-surgical treatment and usually is completed in about an hour.  There is no extensive recovery time.  Most patients have only mild discomfort for about 48 hours.  The majority of patients go home and enjoy normal activities like eating right away!

Healing time is decreased, and immediate satisfaction achieved with this minimally invasive approach. The shorter treatment time translates to lower costs as well; an important factor because implants are not typically covered by dental insurance programs.

Usually, 2 to 4 mini implants are necessary to support a denture.  The lower denture is fitted with attachments. The lower denture is then easy to remove in a “snap on” like method.
