MINI DENTAL IMPLANTS

Introducing...Mini Dental Implants (Mini's)

New! to Colorado and Neighboring States Technology's Solution for Denture Wearer's Problems

For Denture Wearers -- Mini's FDA-Approved for Safe, Long-term Use. Some Patients Have Successfully Worn Mini's For Several Decades

	Are you one of the 50,000 people in the United States who wear dentures?
	Do you struggle daily with loose, ill-fitting dentures. Are you unable to eat certain foods?
	Do you gag? Have you lost your sense of taste? Do you avoid social functions?
	Do your family members complain about disagreeable breath because food is trapped under your loose dentures?

Mini's can Solve All These Problems

Successful Placement of the Mini's Solves All of These Social and Practical Problems.

Your current denture can often be snapped onto Mini's. Custom "hybrid" dentures can also be made to achieve a higher level of comfort. For example, with MIni's the palate of the upper denture can be omitted to eliminate gagging and restore your sense of taste. All in all, the placement of Mini's is quite a satisfying experience.

Ideal for patients who do not qualify for conventional (big) implants

Minis offer hope to patients who are otherwise poor candidates for implants due to lack of sufficient jaw bone, medically-compromised health or medications including steroids and blood thinners. Many of the reasons patients could not get conventional "Big" implants often do not apply to our new Mini implant technology.

Uniquely, Mini's can stabilize a denture in a one short appointment. You can leave our office with a secure denture, ready to eat with confidence!

For Our Patients with Teeth -- South Lakewood Dental is Proud to be the first in Lakewood to offer Minis for Crowns and Bridges

Simple Design, Minimal Surgery with Minimal Discomfort

Placement of a Mini is a relatively painless procedure requiring only very mild anesthesia and only two advil for post operative pain control! Mini's are about the size of wooden toothpicks. They are so narrow, they are typically inserted directly through the overlying gum tissue into the bone underneath. There is rarely a need to surgically cut and open the gum tissue, nor the subsequent need for stitches to close the tissues. The ultra small size of the Mini ultimately makes it safer.

Same Day Crown Placed Permanently -- Dinner that Night!

Once the Mini is placed, your teeth are carefully cemented onto the implant.

The procedure usually takes only 40 minutes and because of the unique, minimally-invasive procedure and the size of the implant, you can enjoy a meal an hour or so after the implants are placed. No more long periods of time for healing!

Affordable!

Minis are surprisingly affordable and are usually available at a fraction of the cost of big dental implants.

Implant Options for Missing Teeth

For denture wearers or those missing only a few of their teeth, it has never been better and we offer our patients very low cost financing. It's a really great story!

By choosing the Minis, you've chosen an enhanced way of life, free from the discomfort and heartache of loose, ill-fitting dentures. That's worth a lot!
