Mini dental implants is a procedure that involves inserting small titanium posts into a patients jaw in order to the denture to fit securely. The miniature titanium is used to replace missing roots that and hold up to artificial teeth. The Implants are very comfortable and are not different from real teeth if inserted properly. A patient can even eat few hours after the procedure is done.

The miniatures titanium is usually inserted into the jawbone for it to act as a replacement of the root of a normal tooth. The implant has a head that is shaped like a ball while the retaining fixture operates as a socket. An artificial tooth is attached to the implant to replace the missing tooth. Implants act as anchors that hold the tooth replacement in the right place.

Proper examination is done through x-rays of the jaw.Proper planning of medical procedure and how it should be carried out helps in ensuring that the surgery is a total success.The patient should practice proper oral hygiene and visit the dentist regularly to ensure that the implants fitting and well taken care of.

Research shows that 70% of dental implants that are carried out today are successful. However mini implants may not be successful because of some factors like the density of bones and lateral forces. The risks involved vary between patients and not all of them are prone to these risks hence they should be handled differently.

However this medical procedure can be carried out within one to two hours. No stitching is done on the gum tissue as the small implants are screwed gently into the ridge of the jaw. This procedure is better when it is done on the lower as opposed to the upper jaw.

Denture retention is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. These implants have been used for decades by different kinds of patients in the world. Dentures have been improved over the years with the presence of high technology in the medical industry, they no longer slide into patients jaws hence they help in retaining the jaw bones normal shape.

While very little anesthesia is used during this procedure some patients have very sensitive gums that may react to this during and after surgery. Where the nerves of the lower jaw are damaged the patient may feel numbness temporarily. X-rays and CT scans will enable the dentist to see where the positions of the nerves in the jawbone which in turn will help minimize bleeding and numbness.

The duration for healing is short compared to other kind of dental surgery however it may vary in patients. The difference is highly due to the difference in the quality of the bones of patients. Generally there is little or no discomfort after the surgery of mini dental implants is done and where the patients feels uneasy, it only take two days or less and the feeling is gone.
