Stabilizing Loose Dentures

If you have loose dentures, Mini Dental Implants can literally change your life!    With MDIs, Dr. Ras is able to place the implant directly into your jaw without having to do minor surgery.  The implants can be ‘snapped’ onto special housing built into your denture. As a result, your denture will be more secure.  To see if you are a candidate for denture stabilizing implants, call us today and schedule a FREE consultation!

Initial Visit

Diagnostics are necessary to help us evaluate the overall health of your bone. In order to determine if you are a good candidate for MDIs, X-rays and impressions will be taken.

The Stabilization Process

The Stabilization Process

Mini Dental Implants work in much the same way as conventional, root form implants do. However, because they are slightly smaller in diameter, they can be placed directly into your bone in one procedure. Your denture will have special housing built in that will snap onto the implant. This will help hold it securely in place for the rest of the day!

Questions & Answers

 

How long will the MDI Denture Stabilization procedure take?

Necessary diagnostics will be taken at the initial consultation.  After that, placing the implants and delivering the implant supported denture can be done in one visit.  However, if a new denture is needed, extra time will be needed.

Is this procedure painful?

Mini Dental Implants are smaller in diameter than conventional, root form implants, so it is not necessary for Dr. Ras to perform flap surgery.  MDIs are a less invasive treatment option and therefore patients usually feel little to no pain.  However, any soreness is usually relieved with ibuprofen or Tylenol.  Be sure consult with your physician to see if you can take those medications.

 

Will my stabilized denture feel different than my old one?

Definitely – but in a good way! For obvious reasons, a denture that is more secure will leave you feeling more confident in your daily activities. Also, an added benefit to having your upper denture stabilized with implants is that your palate will no longer be covered by the denture. Consequently, you will be able to enjoy tasting food like you did before you had dentures.

 

Will I have trouble eating with an MDI denture?

You will be able to enjoy eating most of the same foods you enjoyed when you had your natural teeth with your MDI denture.

 

How much do MDI Stabilized Dentures cost?

The cost of stabilizing your dentures will be unique to each individual, dependent upon how many implants are needed and whether we can use your existing denture or a new one has to be made.

 

Is Denture Stabilization covered by insurance?

Insurance may cover this treatment if your plan covers implants.  Please consult your dental insurance manual.  Our friendly, caring staff here at Hope Dental will help you in any way we can to be sure you understand what is covered.
