DENVER, CO, August 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) Mini dental implants provide a way to stabilize and secure your dentures. Although dentures continue to be a viable tooth replacement option for numerous individuals, dentures continue to have the disadvantage of instability. Some people experience discomfort and irritation of the gums while wearing dentures. Dentures can also slip loose while you chew and speak. Mini implants anchor your dentures in place so you can enjoy the confidence of durable teeth.
What are Mini Dental Implants?
Like traditional dental implants, mini implants are titanium posts implanted into your gums; however, mini implants are much narrower than other dental implants. The size of mini dental implants has two main advantages:
- The mini implants can be placed in about an hour, in a single dental appointment.
- If you are not a candidate for traditional dental implants because of bone deficiency, you may be a candidate for mini dental implants.
Traditional dental implants typically require several months before the permanent replacement tooth can be placed. With mini implants, you can have your dentures affixed to the implants as soon as the implants are placed.
Your dentures will snap onto the mini implant attachments. Your dentures will still be removable, and you will still have to take them out every evening.
Although widely effective, the traditional dental implant procedure requires a fairly invasive placement surgery and several months to complete. The mini dental implant procedure is completed in just an hour and no stitches are necessary.
Benefits of Mini Dental Implants
Like traditional dental implants, mini implants have many benefits, including:
- Improves chewing ability and comfort.
- Improves ability to chew and articulate.
- Anchor dentures so they will not slip around.
- Prevent dentures from falling out of your mouth.
- Lets you enjoy the confidence of secure dentures.
Mini dental implants offer an affordable and durable way to replace teeth. Many patients find that they are able to chew a greater range of foods when their dentures are stabilized by mini dental implants.
Some patients prefer to abandon dentures all together, opting instead for traditional dental implants utilizing tooth crowns or a dental bridge to replace teeth. These teeth replacements are not removable, so they behave and feel more like natural teeth.

Surgical Errors

Surgical errors are unfortunately common.

Dental Implants for Supporting Dentures
2012-08-01
Dentures are one of the oldest methods of tooth replacement. In the last few decades, improvement to denture design has made the devices more comfortable, functional and natural-looking than ever before.

Sometimes, Dangerous Intersections Can Be Fixed Only After Community Activism
2012-08-01
Middle school students in the Bronx have taken up the cause of improving the safety of city streets. After three years of lobbying the city, they can finally point to a result, although it was not the result they wanted. The students, members of a youth program called Bronx Helpers, have tried to get a traffic light installed at the intersection of East 172nd Street and Townsend Avenue.
The students say that motorists speed down Townsend Avenue without regard for pedestrians. Moreover, they say it's difficult for pedestrians trying to cross the street to see oncoming ...
Fatal Day Care Accident Leads to Multiple Lawsuits
2012-08-01
Just weeks ago, a day care van filled with children veered wildly toward oncoming traffic before leaving the road and crashing into a tree. The accident injured 15 passengers -- 14 of them children -- and killed a 31-year-old woman.
Bystanders who rushed to help the screaming children were horrified to see that many of them had been improperly restrained in seat belts.
"I'm just going to tell the truth -- they had four kids in one seat belt," said James Jaggers, a good citizen who assisted the injured children after witnessing the van crash. Jaggers told ...
Modifying Child Support and Child Custody Orders in Texas
2012-08-01
When Texas children do not reside with both parents -- either because of a divorce or because the parents were never married -- either parent can go to court to request an order for child support or child custody (also called conservatorship).
Many parents mistakenly believe that these orders are set in stone. This is not true. Although the bar can sometimes be high, both child support and child custody orders can be changed.
Child Support Modification
Under Texas law, a parent's child support obligations can be modified under one of two circumstances. The first ...
New Jersey Legislature Considering Marijuana Decriminalization
2012-08-01
In recent years, marijuana has started to gain a reputation as a "soft drug" that is less dangerous to society than harder drugs like heroin, cocaine or methamphetamine. However, changes in public opinion do not necessarily translate into changes in the law. In New Jersey, possession of even small amounts of marijuana is still considered a serious drug crime.
Under current law, possession of 50 grams or less of marijuana is a disorderly person offense punishable by up to six months of incarceration and a maximum fine of $1,000. The sale of any amount of marijuana ...
Pennsylvania Texting While Driving Ban Goes Into Effect
2012-08-01
A state law that prohibits texting while driving, which was passed by the legislature last fall, recently went into effect -- making Pennsylvania the 35th state to put a ban on this form of distracted driving.
Under the new law, texting while driving is considered a primary offense -- meaning that drivers can be pulled over if caught texting, even if they're not committing any other moving violations at the time. Those who are caught breaking this law will face fines of around $135.
According to PennDOT, the new law applies to texts that are sent from any Interactive ...
New Override System to Reduce Consequences of Unintended Acceleration
2012-08-01
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has proposed a brake throttle override (BTO) requirement for all vehicles to help drivers stop runaway cars and avoid serious accidents.
The NHTSA's decision rides on the heels of the recent issue with unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles. It would require all vehicles that weigh 10,000 pounds or less with electronic throttle control to come equipped with a BTO system. Toyota started to install these systems in 2009 after its sticky accelerator pedal debacle. Other manufacturers, like Nissan, General Motors ...
Joint Credit Presents Challenges for Married Couples
2012-08-01
All that most New Jersey couples need to become legally joined in life is a marriage certificate and a ceremony. If they are lucky, they also receive a few bonuses, such as cake, music and a nice meal. Becoming legally joined in debt is even easier. All a married couple needs to do is sign on a dotted line.
It is essential for married couples to educate themselves on the world of joint credit. They should learn who is responsible for payment and how joint debt affects credit scores. It is also important to learn how potential lenders view joint debt.
There are many ...
