Mini-dental implants

Many people who have missing or lost teeth with have tried to fill the gap using removable dentures. Dentures allow you to feel more confident when you smile. However, there are a number of disadvantages to wearing them too.

Dentures are removable so that they can be easily cleaned. In reality, however, this often means that your dentures can slip, slide and fall out at inappropriate times. Over time, as your face changes, they will become looser. On social occasions, in business meetings, eating in restaurants – these are all suddenly become situations fraught with potential problems. You start to feel self-conscious, nervous and constantly worried about how your teeth look.

This is an all too familiar story for many of our customers at the Manchester Implant Clinic. The more worried you become about your teeth, the more it affects your behaviour. For example, if can affect your speech. As you compensate for your dentures, you can find that you mumble more, fail to articulate certain words and sometimes even slur or mispronounce certain words. It can affect how you eat and people who wear dentures often avoid certain foods.

One of the most popular solutions that we offer to stabilise loose dentures are Mini-dental implants. We insert a small titanium rod into the gum which is used to hold the denture in place. It is a less complicated and much gentler procedure than a full dental implant, but it instantly eases the concerns about loose or ill-fitting dentures. For many people who have being missing teeth for many years, it can feel like having a new lease of life. Talk freely. Eat what you want. Smile without thinking twice about it.
