What are mini implants?
Mini Dental Implants, similar to regular dental implants, are made from bio-compatible titanium alloy, but are smaller. They are FDA approved and can be used when needed for support purposes. In fact, they have been successfully functioning in patients for several decades.
What’s the primary and most effective use for mini implants? The most effective use of this unique dental product is long-term stabilization of a denture. There are approximately 30,000,000 people in the United States who struggle daily with prosthetic devices. A majority suffers a great deal of discomfort as a result of loose or ill-fitting dentures. Also, many denture wearers simply withdraw from any type of social engagement as a result of being compelled to wear them. Moreover, it’s not uncommon for family members to complain about a denture wearer’s disagreeable breath as a result of food being trapped and decaying under the denture prosthesis. Successful placement of the Mini Dental Implants resolves all of these social and practical problems and concerns.
How are mini implants different? Unlike traditional implants that require an incision of bone with months of healing, mini implant surgery is a revolutionary departure from routine implant methods. The small size of mini implants allows them to be inserted directly through the gum tissue. As a result, post-procedure soreness is significantly reduced. Another impressive advantage is that they can often be utilized immediately, stabilizing the patient’s denture on the day of placement. In one short procedure, you can have a stable denture with no surgical sutures or the typical months of healing.
What about cost? Good news! Mini dental implant therapy is often only half that of the fee associated with traditional implant treatment plans.
