Mini-Implant Mandible
Mandible showing mini-implant technology; mini implants are often used to secure dentures in place and are a slightly smaller version of the normal “locator” type. This allows for smaller drill sizes when fitting the implant and therefore less bone loss and some improvement in healing times.
A dental implant is an artificial substitute/replacement for the root portion of your natural tooth and is anchored into a pre-drilled socket in your jaw-bone to support a crown, bridge or secure a denture firmly in place. Implants are made from titanium, a material that is well tolerated by bone and integrates easily with bone tissue. During the placement of a dental implant, the goal is to achieve a close contact between the outer surface of the implant and the surrounding bone tissue so they can “fuse” together (osseointegration), creating a stable support for the new teeth.
