Securing your Dentures

Replacement teeth which look, feel and function like real teeth, with no surgery!

Clinician: Dr Richard Brookshaw,

The revolutionary mini-implants can be placed quickly and efficiently with no incision and with little or no discomfort or inconvenience to the patient. This latest implant allows for cheaper and easier placement and is becoming very popular in the UK. Mini-implants are smaller than the traditional implants and consist of titanium pegs, no bigger than the width of a matchstick which are placed into tiny perforations in the gum, made under local anaesthetic.

The peg is then used as a "virtual root" and patients can have one mini-implant placed and just a single tooth fitted, or several to stabilise a denture or even more for a fixed bridge. This minimally invasive procedure means that healing is often painless as well as very swift. In addition, costs connected with complex dental surgery in the case of traditional implants are avoided, resulted in more affordable treatment for all.
