Dental implants have become very popular over the course of the last decade and they are hailed by most dentists as the best alternative to natural teeth; however, in some cases, standard implants are not suitable. If this is the case, there is no need to panic and start looking at other options, as mini implants could be the perfect solution. In essence, mini implants are the same as traditional implants, but they are smaller. Like standard implants, mini implants are made from titanium and they are placed in the jaw. In many cases, mini implants are suitable for patients who cannot tolerate full-sized implants and they are hugely beneficial for patients with dentures, as they provide much greater levels of support for the denture. Implant-retained dentures hold the denture firmly in place, so you can rest assured that your denture will never come loose or slip while you are eating or speaking; as the implants anchor the denture in the same way as a tooth root anchors a natural tooth, the bite power of the denture is also maximised. If you have thought about having dental implants or you have experienced issues with dentures in the past, it may be worth considering mini implants.
