Three Methods of
Implant Denture Replacement

1. Mini-Implant Dentures - "Snap In" Dentures

This type of implant denture is an economic alternative for those who cannot afford conventional implants or the available bone is too sparse for conventional implants.

• Mini-implants can are used even when there is very little bone structure.
• Although this is a great alternative mini-implants may not last as long-term as conventional implants.
• Mini-implants cannot change the tightness or holding power of the denture as can conventional implants.
• A snap down denture is still a denture, meaning it still rests upon the gums.
• Although the chewing force achieved is much better by adding the snap down implants, it is still much less than your natural teeth. 
• When economics is a major concern this method is the best choice.

2. Conventional Implant Dentures - "Snap In"

This type of denture is very similar to the mini-implant snap down denture. There are several fundamental differences.

• Conventional implants have been around since the 1960’s.
• There is an abundance of documented research that shows these implants to have long term stability.
• The holding power of the snaps used can be adjusted to be weaker or stronger by switching out the retentive inserts.
• The larger diameter makes for a stronger implant.
• The cost is more than the mini-implant solution
• There must be adequate bone structure.

3. Implant Bridge Dentures

This by far is the best solution if you want to chew as well as you did with your natural teeth. This type of implant replacement does not rely on your gums for support. The entire bridge/denture is supported solely by the implants.

• The bridge/denture is permanently attached to the implants.
• There is no need for removal.
• They are brushed and flossed similar to your natural teeth.   
• The chewing power is similar to your natural teeth.
• The cost is considerably more than the other two solutions
• There must be adequate bone
