Mini Dental Implants to

Secure Dentures

Dentures restore the healthy function and appearance of a

smile after tooth loss. These dental restorations are ideal

for replacing a few or all missing teeth. However, dentures

do not resolve the problem of bone deterioration, which is

a consequence of losing natural teeth. Losing the teeth also

results to the loss of tooth roots, which stimulate the

jawbone into maintaining its healthy condition. Without

this stimulation, the jawbone deteriorates and becomes

thinner in time.

Jawbone deterioration contributes to loose denture

problems, especially when the dentures are already being

used for a few years. Dentures that once fitted tightly over

the gums and jaw will become loose as the years pass by,

as the jawbone underneath continuously deteriorates and

becomes thinner without the stimulation from lost tooth

roots.

Securing Loose Dentures with Mini Implants

Mini dental implants are used to secure the dentures in place to

stop the problems caused by loose dentures. These implants are

smaller in diameter compared to traditional dental implants,

and can be placed into the jawbone using a minimally-invasive

procedure. Without the need for more complicated implant

placement procedures, the recovery period after placing mini

implants is much shorter (compared to traditional implants

placement). This minimally-invasive procedure also enables

the mini implants to be used immediately after loading – there

is no need to wait for a long time just to enjoy the benefits of

mini implants to secure loose dentures.

Loose dentures are held firmly in place with the help of

mini dental implants. The implants are embedded into the

jawbone to offer a secure base to which the dentures can be

attached to, preventing the dental restorations from their

uncontrollable movements. Dentures which once moved

around inside the mouth will be securely held in place,

preventing the discomfort caused by dentures that rub

painfully against the tender mouth tissue, gums, and the

tongue.

The embarrassment that comes with loose dentures can be

put to an end with mini dental implants. As the dentures are

secured in place with the smaller implants, denture wearers

will enjoy increased confidence in smiling, speaking, and

mingling with other people once more – without worrying

about a potential embarrassing episode with loose dentures

accidentally falling off. Dentures that once moved around

inside the mouth will be kept firmly in place and will be

stopped from accidental movements. Eating and chewing

on favourite food items will also be enjoyed even more

when dentures are secured with mini implants.
