Mini Implant Dentures Rejuvenate Your Smile

As we age, it’s natural for our bodies to change. Bones may lose density, hair can turn grey, and even the enamel on our teeth can weaken. Older adults are also more likely to break a hip, lose hair, and suffer total tooth loss than their younger counterparts. Fortunately, society has developed ways to aid in the aging process, allowing the older generation not just to survive but thrive! At Happy Smiles Family Dentistry, we believe that aging doesn’t have to be a setback. Using mini implant dentures, we can rejuvenate your smile, providing you with lasting and secure teeth that look as good as new!

What Are Mini Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts secured into the jawbone that support artificial teeth. When facing total tooth loss, we suggest using dental implants to replace your teeth, as they are a stable and long-lasting solution that revives your smile! While we offer two types of dental implants, we recommend using mini dental implants for most cases. Mini implants provide many benefits that traditional implants just can’t offer.

Mini implants are narrow, single-piece posts that measure less than 3 millimeters in diameter. Despite their compact size, they are remarkably sturdy and provide instant stability.

Thanks to their innovative design, Dr. Aristodemo can place mini implants with a minimally invasive procedure that eliminates the need for incisions and stitches. First, she will create a small pilot hole in the gums to reach the jawbone underneath. Then, she will carefully screw the implant into the hole, securing it in the jawbone. Due to their ease of placement and single-piece design, we place mini implants in just one appointment. After placing the implants, we will secure your temporary restoration, providing functional teeth immediately!

Unlike other implant options, mini implants offer a shorter healing period, a less invasive procedure, and faster results! Additionally, mini dental implants are half the cost of conventional implants—their larger, more time-consuming counterparts.

With so many benefits, we often suggest using mini dental implants to secure dentures and bring your smile back to life!

The Advantages of Mini Implant Dentures

Traditional dentures are notorious for slipping or even falling out of the mouth. With mini implants, that’s never a problem! By strategically placing these narrow-diameter implants, we provide a stable foundation for your teeth that will keep you smiling with confidence.

At Happy Smiles Family Dentistry, we offer three mini implant denture options:

• Snap-in dentures: As their name suggests, these dentures “snap” in and out of your mouth with ease. While they are completely secured to 4-8 mini implants, you’re able to pop them off whenever you need to. This makes cleaning your dentures and maintaining oral hygiene a snap!
• Semi-permanent roundhouse: This denture option is only removed by Dr. Aristodemo during routine cleanings, so it feels almost like having your natural teeth again. Stabilized with 6-10 mini implants, the roundhouse restoration stays securely in place without the need for the bulky pink base found in traditional dentures.
• Permanent roundhouse: These dentures feel the most like your natural teeth, as they never come out once we put them in. We attach these beautiful artificial teeth to 10-12 mini implants and then cement them in place! The restoration looks seamless in your mouth and is made of zirconia, an incredibly durable material. If you want to feel like you have your natural teeth back, a permanent roundhouse is your best choice.

Using any of these mini implant dentures, we can restore your smile so you feel like yourself again!
