Mini Implants
Problems With Your Dentures?
The shock of losing teeth can be significant. As an effective solution, many patients turned to dentures. However, if you wear dentures, you may experience a number of problems, such as:
- Being unable to eat what you want
- Dentures shift, tilt and wander
- Tired of the taste and feel of denture adhesives
- Gums sometimes become sore
- Trouble speaking clearly
- Afraid to smile
City Smiles is able to remedy these problems by providing mini dental implants. Mini dental implants were developed to provide greater denture stability.
A mini dental implant consists of a tiny titanium implant, which acts like the root of a tooth and serves as a retaining fixture that is incorporated into the base of the denture. The head of the implant is shaped like a ball and the retaining fixture acts like a socket that contains a rubber o-ring. When the denture is seated, the o-ring snaps over the ball and holds the denture in, at a predetermined level of force. The denture then rests gently on the gum tissue.
As the mini dental implants are placed, they screw into the bone, stretching the elastic bone so that there is immediate stability. Once integrated, they can last a lifetime. No more denture problems.
Placement of mini dental implants is quick and easy. It is a one-step procedure that involves minimally invasive surgery, no sutures or the typical months of healing. It can be a simple two hour treatment. A local anaesthetic is administered to help make you more comfortable.
