Mini-implants have become a bit of a celebrity in their own right in central Leeds although they came to be so through a stroke of fate.
They were only intended to be temporary, giving way later to their bigger brother, but it was soon discovered that they were quite useful themselves.
Firstly they are very easy to fit, (some dentists claim only 10 minutes) and they do the minimal of damage to the gums and jawbone, making them instantly available to use. One of the other advantages is that the jaw doesn’t require a bone graft, so this tiny titanium spike can be placed straight away.
Its was first used for replacing small teeth, but its greatest triumph has come for those among us that wear dentures. If the jaw is fitted with a number of mini-implants, the altered denture simply locates onto the spike, holding it firmly locked to the inside of the mouth and sometimes they are used to lock in dental bridges.
Of course, the benefit of a ‘mini’ is that it is a sight-more cheaper than a larger implant, as well as being easy to fit. Most dentists carry out this procedure so you should book a session with your dentists and find out about your suitability for this treatment.
