How Are Mini Implants Used to Support Dentures?
Dentures are prone to slipping and moving within the mouth. Patients can use adhesive materials to help secure dentures, although these are often tedious and may not provide the support desired. Mini implants can be inserted into the gums to support dentures, providing a much more secure fit. These implants have small, rounded tips that will snap into the patient’s dentures. As a result, implants will no longer slip around or pop out. Typically, four mini implants are needed to secure dentures on the bottom jaw, while six mini implants are needed to secure dentures on the upper jaw.
