What is your opinion of them? ...Visitor from AZ     (answer)

  • Immediate Upper Denture: 9 days ago my husband had an immediate upper denture, since then he has been extremely sore, not to mention very depressed. I have been doing some research on mini dental implants to retain the denture. Is this an alternative or will he just have to live with the pain?

  • Mini implants - Temporary or Permanent? I have just had a new set of dentures made. Now I am looking at getting implants to stabalize them. My dentist told me that mini implants are a just temporary solution. I have heard otherwise so now I am confused. He also told me that I have great bone density on upper and lower. The cost of the mini implants seem to be much less and even though I have dental insurance it will only pay $1500 which leaves me with a pretty big bill if I get the traditional implants. So, my question is: are the mini implants just temporary? ...Visitor from FL     (answer)

  • Mini implants for Full Upper Denture: I have a full upper denture that is approximately 6 months old. Cosmetically it is fine but unless I use paste or powder to secure it.
