Secure your smile with mini implants in Weybridge, Surrey

Mini implants, as the name suggests, is simply a mini version of standard implants. They have become increasingly popular because they are more affordable and less invasive than the larger style. This latest technology in dental implants was initially developed for temporary prosthetic stabilization. However, it was so successful, that it is now used as a permanent method of stabilizing partial or complete dentures and as support for dental crowns, and fixed bridges.

The concept of mini-implant retained dentures is very simple. The implant is stabilized in the jawbone and a socket, lined with an O-ring, is incorporated into the denture. The implant has a ball shaped head, which snaps into the receiving fixture in the denture. The denture rests gently on the gums when seated, and is extremely comfortable, stable, and secure.

We are proud to offer mini-implant retained immediate dentures for our patients in Weybridge, Surrey and the surrounding areas. The system is very cost-effective and patient-friendly, with numerous benefits:

• The dentures will not slip, which eliminates the sore spots and irritated gums that can be caused by denture movement.
• Patients can speak and eat with confidence, knowing that their dentures are not going to slip.
• Messy denture pastes or adhesives are not needed.
• Allows patients to eat a healthy diet including the fruits and vegetables that may be hard to chew with conventional dentures. This eliminates the digestive and nutritional problems that can affect patients with conventional dentures.
• Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs when teeth are missing. This protects the youthful contours of the face by preventing the sunken look around the mouth that typically occurs with tooth loss.
• It only takes about two hours to place the implants and seat the denture.
• The discomfort after the procedure is minimal, and patients can begin eating normally immediately after placement.
• The surgery for placing mini implants is minimally invasive, so it doesn’t require sutures or an extended healing period.
• The dentures are removable for easy cleaning, which promotes better oral health.
