Mini Dental Implants for Denture Stabilization

A more secure smile can be life changing.

If your denture slips or feels uncomfortable, mini dental implants may help hold it more securely. Dr. William R. Gaston offers options for stabilizing an existing denture or fitting a new one.

How denture stabilization works

Small titanium posts in the jaw connect to housings inside your denture. O-ring attachments work much like snaps, helping secure the denture while allowing you to remove it for daily cleaning.

Options for your denture

Your options depend on the condition of your denture, the available bone, and your oral health.

Stabilize an existing lower denture

In suitable cases, an existing lower denture can be retrofitted with attachments that connect to mini implants.

Fit a new lower denture

A new lower denture may be made to connect to four mini implants, with placement planned for your needs.

Discuss an upper denture

Some upper dentures can also be adapted for implant stabilization, depending on the available bone and denture design.

Why consider mini implants?

Their smaller size can allow a less invasive placement procedure and may be an option when there is limited bone.

Explore an affordable option

Mini implants may cost less than conventional implants. Your cost depends on your individual treatment plan, including whether your current denture can be adapted or a new one is needed. Dr. Gaston can explain your options at a consultation.

What happens during treatment?

Dr. Gaston examines your mouth and reviews your health history before planning treatment. Mini implants are placed using local anesthetic, and the denture is fitted or adapted to connect to them.

The timing of attachment and use depends on the stability of the implants and your individual treatment plan.
