Mini Implants for Dentures
Why Mini Dental Implants?
Even the best denture adhesives can’t compare to the denture stability achieved with mini dental implants. Mini Dental Implants are designed to help denture wearers laugh, talk and live with comfort and
confidence.
Mini Dental Implants were developed to provide greater denture stability for those who:
- Can't withstand the rigors of full-size implant surgery.
- Don't have enough bone to allow for full-sized implants to be placed.
- Are seeking a more affordable dental implant option
How Mini Dental Implants Work
Mini Dental Implant Denture Stabilisation System consists of:
- A metal housing that is incorporated into the base of your denture.
- A rubber O-ring, housed in the metal housings, to provide the seal that locks the pieces into place.
- Mini titanium alloy dental implants rooted into the jawbone, that act as an anchor to stabilise a lower denture.
The Mini Dental Implant Procedure
The Mini Dental Implant Procedure takes place in your Dentist’s Surgery, with a local anaesthetic. Typically, the procedure takes only one appointment and can be completed within 2-hours! Your dentist uses a precise and controlled technique to insert the small diameter implants (around 2 millimetres wide)
into your jawbone.
- With heads that are shaped like a ball, the implants protrude from the gum tissue where they will provide a secure anchor for your dentures.
- Metal housings that carry a rubber O-ring will be inserted into the bottom of your dentures.
- When your dentist seats the dentures onto the mini dental implants the O-ring snaps over the ball like a socket and locks the dentures firmly into place as they gently rest on the gum tissue.
Implants are designed to help your dentures work like natural teeth, allowing easy and comfortable mobility for functions such as eating, talking and laughing.
The Results
Because of the minimally invasive nature of the mini dental implant procedure, the Mini Dental Implant placement won’t require you to go through a lengthy healing period.
Within a few days, you’ll be out and about, enjoying lunch, talking with ease, laughing and smiling freely. All the time, you will be feeling a new stability in your dentures secure that they have the staying power you need without messy denture adhesives or creams.
