Having Problems With Your Dentures?

Do you currently have dentures? Are your dentures loose? Do they constantly shift and move? Are you tired of using adhesives to try to hold them in place? Are you unable to eat what you want and when you want? Do you have constant sore spots, and have trouble talking?

Mini dental implants are the latest technology in dental implantology. They are a reliable and affordable solution to denture stabilization.

What Are Mini-Implants?

A mini-implant is a miniature titanium rod that is placed in your jaw.

This implant would act like a root of your tooth. A retaining feature is incorporated into the denture base and snaps over the implant to secure it into place.

The placement of a mini-implant is a one-step procedure with minimal discomfort to the patient. When seated the denture gently rests on the gum tissue. The heads of the implants protrude from the gum tissue and provide a strong foundation for securing your dentures.

Who Is a Candidate

For Mini-Implants?

There are approximately 50,000,000 people in the United States who are edentulous (without teeth). Most patients who wear complete dentures experience embarrassment and are insecure. With mini-implant treatment you can retrofit your existing denture over the implants.

Mini-implants are an alternative treatment to conventional dental implants and are a cost effective approach to denture stabilization.
