Dentures are a fantastic option for replacing missing teeth; however they are not always comfortable. Here at Hispano Dental Care in Reedley, CA, we offer mini dental implants for better denture stabilization. These mini implants create a solid base for the dentures so they are more comfortable and unable to move around.
Mini implants are installed into the bone socket just like traditional full-sized dental implants. However, since mini implants are about half the size, they do not require a surgical incision to place them. This also means that the healing process takes much less time.
Four to six mini implants are installed along the upper or lower gum line. Instead of a crown being placed on top of each implant, like the traditional ones have, mini implants have a small titanium ball that is above the gum line. The dentures are made to clip right onto the implants. Most dentures can be altered so that they fit into the implants, but new ones can be made, if not.
Mini implants are also great for holding replacement crowns in spaces where a replacement tooth is needed but a full-sized implant will not fit.
If you are looking for a more comfortable base for your dentures or need a smaller replacement tooth, mini dental implants may work great for you! To schedule a consultation with Hispano Dental Care of Reedley, CA, call us at (559) 637-0123 or visit our website, www.hispanodentalcare.net.
