Dental implants are often a great choice in order to replace missing teeth. But at Northland Dental Medicine, Dr. Michael Corsello also offers additional options including mini implants. The mini implant is used to provide denture stability.
The procedure involves having a number of mini implants placed on the gum line. Because the implants are small, an incision in the gum line is usually not needed. Once the mini implants are inserted, the dentures are snapped on and are held securely in place. The mini implant becomes a base for the dentures. Mini implants can be used on both lower and upper dentures.
There are several benefits to having mini implants including the following:
- Quick and Easy: The procedure is less complicated than getting traditional implants and is usually completed in one office visit.
- Less Cost: Mini implants are often less expensive than having multiple traditional implants placed.
- Decreased denture movement: Using mini implants also decreases denture movement, which means you won’t have to deal with loose fitting dentures.
Mini implants are not appropriate in every situation. At Northland Dental Medicine, we would be happy to provide you with a free consultation in order to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
