Mini implants are a smaller version of the implants that have become an everyday part of of modern dentistry. While the traditional implants are from 4 to 6 mm in diameter, the mini implants are between 1.8 and 2.4 mm in diameter. They are most commonly used as support and stabilization for lower full dentures, but can also be used for other applications. When used to stabilize a loose lower denture, the implants are usually placed and attached to the denture in one visit, without having to wait for the implants to heal. Because we do this procedure in our office and it can be done in one visit, it significantly reduces the cost of stabilizing a lower denture. As with any procedure, it will not work in all situations. Click on the link below for more information.
