Can You Convert My Existing Denture Into an Implant Denture?

In this video, Dr. Robert Harvey discusses the advantages of mini dental implants for securing dentures, offering a transformative solution for better fit and comfort.

Absolutely, mini dental implants are particularly effective for securing dentures when patients are dissatisfied with the fit of their existing teeth. We provide mini implant solutions for both upper and lower dentures, depending on the patient’s needs and preferences. Mini dental implants are designed to stabilize a denture by using small implants that are placed in the jawbone. Attached to these implants are housings within the denture that contain black O-rings. These O-rings click onto the denture and securely lock it in place.

This system is especially beneficial for patients who struggle to maintain an upper denture due to a lack of sufficient ridge or because the denture easily becomes loose. The same concept applies to lower dentures, where the impact of mini dental implants can be even more transformative. With these implants, the denture stays firmly in place, eliminating the issue of a “floating” denture and significantly enhancing stability and comfort. This can be a life-changing improvement, enabling patients to eat comfortably again.

Since the best implant solution varies from person to person, we offer a free exam to determine the most suitable style of implant retention for each individual. We invite you to visit us for a consultation at no charge to explore your options and see how mini dental implants could meet your specific needs and help you achieve your dental health goals.
