Mini implants consist of a miniature titanium implant that acts like the root of your tooth and an O-ring that is incorporated into the base of your denture. This makes your denture much more stable and stops it coming out at embarrassing times. It allows small movements of the denture, but will not allow the denture to fall out unless you want to remove it.

Mini implants allow you to chew all sorts of foods that you may not have had in years, such as steaks and maybe even chewing gum! They are so small, they are placed very gently and so cause very little discomfort. They are regularly placed in people of advanced age as they are so gently placed.The most effective use of this unique dental product is securing a lower denture. There are millions of people worldwide who lack teeth and who struggle daily with loose teeth.

Mini dental implants are placed in a painless procedure and require only a mild local anesthetic. The mini dental implants, which are approximately the size of wooden toothpicks, are placed about five millimetres apart. The patient's denture is then carefully adjusted to allow it to snap onto the four mini implants. The result? A tight-fitting, completely reliable system that allows a patient to speak and eat with confidence. The mini dental implants are placed in about an hour. Because of the unique, minimally invasive procedure, the minute size of the implants, and where they are placed, the typical mini dental implant patient can enjoy a light meal an hour or so after having the mini implants placed. Furthermore, a denture patient who has had his or her prosthesis stabilized with mini implants can remove and replace the denture easily after a little practice, and can easily utilize good dental hygiene. All in all, far superior to suffering from a loose denture.

The cost varies depending on the complexity of the case. Mini implants cost less than regular implants generally and are a very inexpensive way to secure a denture. We can give you an idea of costs during your free consultation.
