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 in the dentist's office. The procedure generally takes 1-1 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 dentures. (upper dentures can also be secured). It is a one step procedure that involves minimally invasive surgery, no sutures nor the typical months of healing.
