What Issues Can Dental Implants Correct?
In this video, Dr. Aaron Bratton explains how mini implants offer a versatile and minimally invasive solution for replacing missing teeth, stabilizing dentures, and restoring multiple teeth. Schedule a free consultation at Atkins Dental Clinic today to learn how mini implants can provide a tailored solution for your dental needs.
If you’re missing a tooth anywhere in your mouth, a mini implant is an excellent single-tooth replacement option. It also serves as a stable anchorage device for securing a loose denture, eliminating the need for adhesives and improving comfort.
For individuals with a strong gag reflex who struggle to tolerate a traditional denture, mini implants provide a way to restore teeth without the discomfort of an appliance triggering the gag reflex. This allows patients to regain their smile and function without constantly feeling uneasy.
If multiple teeth are missing in the same arch but a partial denture is not the preferred solution, mini implants can be used to **span the gap** without requiring a long-span bridge that could compromise the long-term health of adjacent teeth. For example, a setup with four mini implants can effectively support multiple missing teeth without the need for extensive dental work on surrounding teeth.
The versatility of mini implants allows for a customized approach to tooth replacement, providing solutions tailored to individual needs. Whether replacing a single tooth, stabilizing a denture, or restoring multiple missing teeth, mini implants offer a minimally invasive, effective, and long-lasting solution.

A Closer Look at the Smile Makeover Process
When we hear the word “makeover,” our minds often go straight to a movie montage.

Denture Stabilization Made Simple With Mini Dental Implants
A tent can provide shelter from both rain and sun. But it’s not the kind of structure anyone would call dependable. It does the job in fair weather, but once the wind picks up, the fabric rattles, the stakes loosen, and the whole setup feels unsteady. Traditional dentures work much the same way. They allow you to smile, speak, [...]
