Traditionally mini implants are used to help retain lower dentures. If you have a loose lower denture and want to 'snap it' into place, mini implants are a great way to do this with a reasonable cost.
But they can also be used to replace individual teeth in low stress areas. In this case a mini-implant was placed and restored with a crown the same day.
For high stress areas like molars it is best to use a full size implant which requires surgery and a waiting period. |
