Affordable Dental Implants

If you are considering dentures, talk to us about affordable mini dental implants, which we use with an overdenture. This solution may get you the treatment you need at a price you can afford. 

Most of us have seen pictures of people who look like their face has folded in on itself. This condition is called facial collapse, and while it is sometimes mocked as a cliche of an elderly person, this condition is no laughing matter. Facial collapse happens when the natural teeth have been removed and the bones of the jaw have deteriorated due to reabsorbtion of the bone. While it takes years for the jaws to deteriorate to that point, the reabsorbtion of the bone begins almost immediately at the site of a lost tooth.

Long time denture wearers often suffer from this condition. Over time, the shrinkage of the jaw bones makes it impossible for them to wear any kind of denture at all. Dental implants halt bone loss, but to by the time a person cannot wear a denture anymore, there is often not enough bone left in the jaws to support the root forms of the implants without bone grafting surgery.

If dental implants are simply out of your reach financially, we can offer a solution that both helps halt bone loss and provides you with a stable, strong denture.

Affordable Dental Implants Explained

One of the things you do not want to do when looking for dental implants is to let price dictate your choice. Cheap dental implants can turn into an expensive and painful disaster. As an alternative, we offer mini-implants with an overdenture as a way to help keep costs under control.

		First, dental implant root forms are placed in the jaw (left). These root forms will act as anchors for the dentures. They will also help halt the bone loss that is inevitable when all of the teeth have been removed.
The denture pictured to the right has been fitted with "snaps", or slots with flexible o-rings that correspond to the locations of the dental implant root forms. These snaps hold the denture securely in place.

We especially want to hear from you if you are new to wearing a conventional denture. An investment in mini-implants with an overdenture now could save you tremendously in the future. Don't wait until you can't wear any kind of denture, and the only solution involves expensive surgery.
