Mini Implant Denture Stabilisation

Mini dental implants are a smaller, more streamlined option compared to traditional implants, designed specifically for patients with limited bone density or those seeking a less invasive implant solution. At Padstow Dental Centre, we use mini implants primarily to stabilize dentures or to replace small, single teeth. These implants are an excellent option for patients who may not qualify for standard implants due to bone loss, as they require less bone for placement and often do not need bone grafting.

The benefits of mini implants are numerous. Because of their smaller size, the placement procedure is less invasive, often completed in a single visit with minimal discomfort. This can also mean a faster healing process and a quicker return to daily activities, making them an appealing option for patients who want a swift and reliable solution for missing teeth or loose dentures.

Mini implants are particularly advantageous for stabilizing lower dentures, which can often shift or move. By anchoring the denture securely, mini implants improve comfort and function, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile with greater confidence. They also provide a long-lasting solution, helping prevent bone loss by providing the jawbone with stimulation, just like a natural tooth.

Overall, mini implants offer an affordable, minimally invasive alternative to traditional implants, ideal for those looking for effective dental solutions with reduced downtime. With these implants, Padstow Dental Centre can provide a comfortable and efficient path to restoring your smile’s stability and function.
