Do you have a loose denture? Do you hate having your entire palate covered by your upper denture? Have you heard that implants are too expensive? There IS an answer for denture wearers that won't break the bank...Mini Dental Implants.
Regular dental implants require a complicated surgical procedure and considerable expense. Mini dental implants are placed quickly and easily by your own Mortenson Family dentist, and at a fraction of the cost of regular implants.
Mini implants are designed to hold your denture tight and secure. They can make it possible to make an upper denture that doesn't cover your palate. In some cases they can replace a single missing tooth or help support a partial or a bridge if you lose a critical tooth.
Mini implants are placed painlessly with just local anesthetic, no need to be sedated. Usually the area will be numbed, as many implants as needed will be placed, attachments in your existing denture or partial will be placed, and then you can go home. Usually no sutures are needed. Most patients have very little soreness afterwards. You have tighter dentures right away!
Mini implants are a simple, cost effective alternative to regular implants. Visit your nearest Mortenson Family Dental office to see if you are a good candidate for this innovative procedure. Click on the "locations" tab on the left hand side of the page to find an office near you.
