Mini Dental Implants can Go where Full-sized Denture Implants Cannot

Dentures are wearable plates that hold a patient’s teeth together. These are commonly used by older individuals who have lost their natural teeth due to their advanced age or disease. Lower dentures tend to become loose because of the constant movement of the lower jaw when the patient eats or speaks. Sturdy denture implants were developed to securely anchor dentures to the jaw but there are situations wherein these implants may cause more harm than good. In an article for Dental Health Advice, Dr. Richard Mitchell, BDS explains how mini-dental implants can save the day. When size matters… in a small way There are no standard dimensions when it comes to patients’ bone structure or size. If a patient’s jawbone is slightly smaller than the rest, it would require a smaller implant to anchor his/her dentures without causing any damage.
