Mini Dental Implants –
A Great Way to Hold in Dentures
 Lower
dentures are usually the most difficult tooth replacement to get
used to. It can be frustrating as you attempt to eat certain
foods, or even to speak confidently without the fear that your
lower denture will begin to float in your mouth.
Dr. Shulman
is certified in the placement of Imtec Mini Dental Implants.
These FDA approved implants are much smaller than conventional
implants and in most cases can be placed and attached to your
lower denture in the same visit. There is no need for any
incisions or stitches. In just one appointment, you can be on
your way with a secure lower denture, and able to eat and speak
much more comfortably.
When compared
to traditional dental implants, these implants are about half
the price. You will no longer need denture adhesive and will
once again be able to eat whatever you want.
What are Mini Dental Implants?
 The
Mini Dental Implant system consists of a miniature titanium
implant that acts like the root of your tooth and a retaining
fixture that is incorporated into the base of your 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. The O
ring snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds
the denture at a predetermined level of force. When seated, the
denture gently rests on the gum tissue.
How are Mini Dental Implants
Placed?
 Placement
of the mini dental implants is accomplished quickly and easily
in a process performed here in our office. The procedure
generally takes 1-2 hours. Using a precise, controlled,
minimally invasive surgical technique, Mini Dental Implants are
placed into the jawbone. The heads of the implants protrude from
the gum tissue and provide a strong, solid foundation for
securing either upper or lower dentures. It is a one step
procedure that involves minimally invasive surgery, no sutures,
nor the typical months of healing.
