Along with traditional dental implants, mini implants are able to last a lifetime with good treatment. Mini implants are great for smaller openings and for retaining dentures. It is for these reasons why Dr. Keith Rudolph, DDS of Fairfield, CT offers mini implants to his patients who need to replace a missing tooth or create more stable dentures.
Mini implants are half the size of traditional implants, so they can fit in more narrow spaces. In addition, they do not need to be surgically implanted like traditional implants, so the replacement tooth (the crown) is often able to be placed the same day as the implant. This is great for patients who do not have time to wait months for a full-sized implant to heal. The healing process is also a lot less complicated.
What is great about mini implants is that they are able to be used to create a much more stable base for dentures. Four to six mini implants are placed along the upper or lower jaw line and the dentures are made to clip onto the implants. The dentures are easy to clip in and out, so patients will feel comfortable doing it on their own. No more mobile dentures while you are eating, talking, or smiling.
