What’s your favorite food of all time? Considering all of the options out there, this can be a difficult question to answer, but it’s likely that at least a few foods came to mind. What would you do if you could never eat that food again? Though it sounds like a nightmare, it’s the unfortunate reality for many people suffering total tooth loss. Even those with traditional dentures struggle to eat many foods due to their major stability issues, resulting in a change of diet. In some cases, sticking to foods that are softer or easier to chew can lead to a lack of nutritional intake, which has lasting consequences for your overall health. Fortunately, Dr. Aristodemo provides mini dental implant denture solutions!

Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts that Dr. Aristodemo places in the jawbone to secure restorations like dentures! Instead of dealing with unstable traditional dentures, you can have a secure implant denture that provides excellent chewing function! Happy Smiles Family Dentistry offers two dental implant options.
Traditional dental implants are large in diameter and require an invasive procedure. Unfortunately, due to their size, many patients with less jawbone structure aren’t eligible for traditional implant procedures. Often, a bone graft is required to get a traditional implant supported denture, which adds to the cost and length of your procedure.
In contrast, mini dental implants are smaller in diameter and require a minimally invasive procedure. Their narrow diameter makes these implants much more accessible to patients, while also facilitating faster healing! Unlike conventional implants, mini implants are instantly stable once Dr. Aristodemo places them, so she can secure temporary restorations on the same day.
When looking to replace your missing teeth, mini dental implant-retained dentures are the ideal tooth replacement option because of the amazing benefits they provide!
Mini Dental Implant Denture Solutions
There are three distinct mini dental implant denture options Dr. Aristodemo provides.
- Snap-on dentures: These dentures have a pink base like traditional dentures, but instead of using your jawbone for support, they rely on mini dental implants! For easy maintenance, you can snap these dentures on and off your implants when necessary, and secure them back on with ease.
- Semi-removable roundhouse bridges: Unlike traditional dentures, these prosthetics don’t need the pink base for support. With their innovative horseshoe design, they can secure directly onto your implants. These restorations are semi-removable because while you never remove them, Dr. Aristodemo will for routine cleanings.
- Non-removable roundhouse bridges: These restorations are incredibly natural looking, as they require no base and provide a seamless appearance. Non-removable roundhouse bridges are cemented in place and never taken out. Their strong bite, permanent nature, and beautiful appearance make these dentures about as close to your natural teeth as possible!
Breaking Down the Cost of Dental Implant Dentures
Because mini implants require fewer appointments, have fewer components, and rarely require a bone graft, they cost about half as much as traditional implants! Even so, Dr. Aristodemo recognizes that some patients are on a budget. Fortunately, she offers various ways to make your treatments more affordable.
Dr. Aristodemo works with multiple insurance companies, though they often don’t cover dental implant procedures. For those without insurance, she has an in-house dental savings program designed to help make your dental care more affordable!
Additionally, she works with multiple third-party financing companies to help break down the costs of your procedure into manageable monthly payments. Regardless of your payment strategy, Dr. Aristodemo and her team will help guide you through the process!
