Same-Day "Mini" Implants to Support Overdentures
For those patients who are missing all of their teeth and wish to replace them with something more secure and stable than removable dentures, Gentle Dental is pleased to offer the option of implant-supported overdentures. These resilient, natural looking dentures simply snap onto implant posts so that both the upper and lower dentures are completely stable, restoring the control and chewing ability afforded by healthy natural teeth. Furthermore, in many cases, we are able to secure overdentures with "mini" dental implants, so called because the titanium screws placed into the jaw are a mere 1.8 millimeters in diameter and between 10 and 18 millimeters long.
Unlike traditional dental implants, the placement of mini dental implants at our Queens practice does not require extensive oral surgery. Indeed, the minute size of the implants allows our dentists to insert them directly through the gum and into the jaw. As a result, there is no need for an osseointegration period, and the overdentures can be snapped onto the implants immediately. A complete set of dentures can be secured by a mere four implants, each carefully and gently placed into the lower jaw. Although a period of adjustment is necessary for most patients, these exceptionally durable overdentures fit comfortably, restore beauty to the mouth, and allow wearers to resume normal function immediately.
If you are missing most or all of your natural teeth, whether or not you are currently wearing removable dentures, you may be an ideal candidate for implant-supported overdentures.
