Mini Dental Implants
If your dentures slip or fall out there is a relatively affordable and easy solution. We offer mini dental anchors to secure your dentures. The anchors hold the denture in place and can help with related issues including bad breath from food particles decaying under the dentures; clicking sounds while eating and speaking; and any fear of dentures falling out while eating or speaking. Basically, a mini dental anchor is a miniature titanium anchor that is placed to act as a sturdy root. The head of the anchor fits precisely into the retaining fixture that is attached to your denture, holding them comfortably on the gums and securely and functionally in place. Mini implants are usually placed in one visit providing instant results and improved patient comfort. These anchors are affordable making them an accessible option for a variety of patients and budgets. Best of all, recovery time is speedy and you can eat whatever you want - even a crunchy apple the next day. There are a few, if any denture wearers that cannot greatly benefit from this option.

A Scientific Breakthrough in Denture Stabilization
Before development of dental implants, dentures were the only alternative to replacing a missing tooth or teeth.
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.
Not everyone is a candidate for a dental implant, however. For a successful implant to take hold, a candidate must have proper bone density and have a strong immune system. In all cases, dental implants require strict oral hygiene.
Implants are so well designed that they mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. Implants are usually made of a synthetic yet biocompatible material like metal or ceramic.
Surgery is necessary to prepare the area for an implant and place the implant in the mouth. Following the procedure, a period of time is required for the implant to take hold and for bone tissue to build up and anchor the device. In some cases, metal posts are inserted into the implant during a follow-up procedure to connect the tooth.
Because implants require surgery, patients are administered anesthesia and, if necessary, antibiotics to stave off infection following the procedure.
Like any restoration, implants require diligent oral hygiene and proper care to ensure they last a long time.
