What Do Mini Dental Implants London Look Like?

Mini implants are ultra-small diameter, biocompatible titanium alloy implant screws that are as strong as a normal-sized conventional implant. It takes the form of a slim titanium screw with a retaining fixture that can be incorporated into a denture. The retaining fixture (meta housing) contains a rubber ‘O-ring’ that acts like a socket.

This ‘O-ring’ holds a denture in place by snapping over the ball on the top of the implant. This enables the denture to rest easily but securely on top of the gum tissue.

Who Would Choose a Mini Dental Implant?

Patients with loose dentures, with small gaps or those for whom conventional implants are not suitable. Also, patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, do not want to have extra-oral anchorage (headgear).

Are Mini Implants reliable?

Yes, with very high long-term success rates.

What Is The Procedure For A Loose Denture Solution?

The procedure is quicker than that for a normal dental implant. Due to their size, they cause little or no discomfort and are placed gently in the jawbone.

Your London dentist will administer a local anaesthetic to start with. He will drill a small hole in the jawbone to create a space for the placement of the dental implant.

If we are using the dental mini implants London to secure a denture, then the denture will be marked at a series of ‘points’ to show the position of the implants. Each of these points will have a metal attachment added which anchors the denture to the implant. This process usually takes around an hour.

Risks of Mini Dental Implants London

• Mini implants are less stable – Overall, mini implants tend to be less stable than traditional dental implants. This is why multiple mini implants are often used to stabilize a set of implant-supported dentures or an implant-supported dental bridge.
• Not a good option if you grind your teeth – Teeth grinding can damage and wear down mini-implants much more quickly than traditional implants. However, proper care like a night guard can prevent this issue.
• Jaw bone still must be healthy – Even though you don’t need as much bone material as a traditional implant, you still must have a healthy jaw bone with enough vertical bone support to accommodate a mini implant.
