If you have been wearing dentures for a long time, you are likely familiar with their challenges—discomfort, instability, and reliance on adhesive. Mini dental implants can significantly improve your experience. If you struggle with a lower denture that shifts or feels loose, mini implants can stabilize it, reducing or even eliminating the need for adhesive.
For patients who do not want a removable option, mini implants can also provide a fixed solution. While implant-supported dentures remain removable, they are designed to closely mimic the natural contours of your gums and teeth for a more secure and comfortable fit. In many cases, full arch restoration can be achieved with 8 to 10 implants rather than 12, though bone availability varies among patients.
For those seeking a completely non-removable option, we offer a fixed implant-supported restoration that is cemented in place. Once secured, it remains in place unless removed by a dentist for maintenance and cleaning. This approach provides stability and a natural appearance while preserving full oral function.
When fabricating your prosthetic, we ensure that it matches the natural color of your gums and teeth, so your smile appears as natural as possible. Whether you choose a removable or fixed solution, mini implants provide a more secure and functional alternative to traditional dentures.
