Mini Implants

    DENVER, CO, August 01, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Mini dental implants provide a way to stabilize and secure your dentures. Although dentures continue to be a viable tooth replacement option for numerous individuals, dentures continue to have the disadvantage of instability. Some people experience discomfort and irritation of the gums while wearing dentures. Dentures can also slip loose while you chew and speak. Mini implants anchor your dentures in place so you can enjoy the confidence of durable teeth.

What are Mini Dental Implants?

Like traditional dental implants, mini implants are titanium posts implanted into your gums; however, mini implants are much narrower than other dental implants. The size of mini dental implants has two main advantages:

- The mini implants can be placed in about an hour, in a single dental appointment.
- If you are not a candidate for traditional dental implants because of bone deficiency, you may be a candidate for mini dental implants.

Traditional dental implants typically require several months before the permanent replacement tooth can be placed. With mini implants, you can have your dentures affixed to the implants as soon as the implants are placed.

Your dentures will snap onto the mini implant attachments. Your dentures will still be removable, and you will still have to take them out every evening.

Although widely effective, the traditional dental implant procedure requires a fairly invasive placement surgery and several months to complete. The mini dental implant procedure is completed in just an hour and no stitches are necessary.

Benefits of Mini Dental Implants

Like traditional dental implants, mini implants have many benefits, including:

- Improves chewing ability and comfort.
- Improves ability to chew and articulate.
- Anchor dentures so they will not slip around.
- Prevent dentures from falling out of your mouth.
- Lets you enjoy the confidence of secure dentures.

Mini dental implants offer an affordable and durable way to replace teeth. Many patients find that they are able to chew a greater range of foods when their dentures are stabilized by mini dental implants.

Some patients prefer to abandon dentures all together, opting instead for traditional dental implants utilizing tooth crowns or a dental bridge to replace teeth. These teeth replacements are not removable, so they behave and feel more like natural teeth.
