Dentures

A Secure and Affordable Solution for Denture Stability

What Are Mini Dental Implants?

Mini dental implants (MDIs) are a revolutionary solution designed to provide greater stability for dentures. These small titanium implants act as artificial tooth roots, securing your denture in place with a retaining fixture. The head of the implant is shaped like a ball, and the retaining fixture features a rubber O-ring that snaps securely over the implant, ensuring a snug fit. With MDIs, your denture remains stable while allowing natural micro-movements to enhance comfort.

Benefits of Mini Dental Implants

Mini dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional implants and dentures, including:

• Improved Denture Stability – No more slipping or shifting while speaking or eating.
• Minimally Invasive Procedure – Less discomfort, no sutures, and faster healing.
• Affordability – A cost-effective alternative to traditional implants.
• Immediate Results – Most patients can have their implants placed and functional in a single visit.
• Ideal for Patients with Low Bone Density – A great option for those who may not qualify for full-size implants.

How Are Mini Dental Implants Placed?

Mini dental implants are inserted using a precise, minimally invasive procedure that is performed right in our office. Local anesthesia or light sedation is used to ensure your comfort. The implants are placed directly into the jawbone without the need for extensive surgery or long healing periods. Once secured, your dentures will snap into place, providing you with a firm and reliable fit.

Who Is a Candidate for Mini Dental Implants?

Mini dental implants are an excellent option for patients who:

• Struggle with loose or ill-fitting dentures.
• Have been told they lack the bone density for traditional implants.
• Want a more affordable alternative to full-size implants.
• Are looking for a quick and minimally invasive solution for denture stabilization.

What to Expect After Your Mini Dental Implant Procedure

After receiving your mini dental implants, you can expect:

• Minimal discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
• Immediate denture stability, allowing you to eat and speak with confidence.
• A short adjustment period to get used to inserting and removing your denture.
• A simple daily cleaning routine to maintain the longevity of your implants.

How to Care for Your Mini Dental Implants

Proper oral hygiene is essential for maintaining your mini dental implants. Follow these simple steps:

1. Remove your denture in the morning and brush your gums and implant area with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
2. Rinse your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash.
3. Ensure that the O-ring fixture is clean and free of debris.
4. Snap your denture securely into place, applying equal pressure on both sides.
5. Repeat this routine in the evening before bed.

Mini Dental Implants vs. Traditional Implants

Unlike traditional dental implants, which require extensive surgery and a lengthy healing process, mini dental implants provide an immediate solution with minimal downtime. They are also significantly more affordable, making them accessible to a wider range of patients.

Cost of Mini Dental Implants

One of the biggest advantages of mini dental implants is their affordability. They are a fraction of the cost of traditional implants, offering a budget-friendly way to achieve a secure and comfortable denture fit.
