Mini Dental Implant-Retained Dentures

If you suffer with loose, slipping, or ill-fitting dentures, Dr. Smith may recommend mini dental implants to secure your prosthetic. Mini implants are small titanium posts placed, in our office, into a few sockets left by missing teeth. Bone naturally fuses to the biocompatible posts to create anchors that act like teeth roots. Dentures may be created or retrofitted with implant snaps so that they attach firmly to the mini implants.

This minimally invasive procedure comes with many benefits:

Improved denture stabilization
No need for suction or adhesives
No need for traditional implant surgery
One-appointment for the procedure
Improved enunciation/speech
Expanded diet choices
Improved self-confidence
Reduced potential for bone deterioration
Overall better quality of life

Patients who are not candidates for traditional implants because of insufficient bone density often choose mini implant-retained dentures.

At your consultation, Dr. Smith will discuss the procedure and explain what you can expect. He’ll answer all of your questions, as well.
