Mini dental implants are smaller-diameter implants that may be considered for selected denture-support or tooth replacement needs. An examination helps determine whether they are appropriate for you.
Partial dentures are removable appliances that replace selected missing teeth while working with your remaining teeth and oral structures. Discuss fit, appearance and everyday use during a consultation.
Implant suitability and denture options depend on your oral health, supporting structures and clinical evaluation. Treatment availability, costs and timing are discussed with the office.
