Mini Implant Patient
Case ID: 34258This gentleman had been wearing a poorly fitting partial denture. We placed 4 mini-implants to preserve the bone and provide a partial denture that wouldn’t pop out or rock.
It should be noted that without the mini-implants the denture would tip forward with chewing and put excessive forces on the lone bicuspid. This would lead to loss of this bicuspid. So the addition of implants or mini-implants can often help retain teeth by decreasing forces on these individual teeth.
