Mini
dental implants are very strong, small, titanium screws
that are approximately the size of wooden toothpicks.
They can be used to anchor a bridge or denture, or for
single tooth replacement.
Dr. Fletcher
will first do an exam or consultation to determine how many
mini-implants you will need. Then under mild anesthesia the
mini-implants are gently placed. If you have a denture it
is then created to fit over and "snap" onto the
implants, resulting in a tight fitting denture that doesn't
"float" around the mouth interfering with speech
and trapping food underneath.
