Whether you're smiling, laughing, or eating favorite foods affordable dentures shouldn't get in the way of these and other pleasures. Mini dental implants through Bream Family Dental Care in Waynesboro, VA, make it possible for those who do not have the necessary bone content or cannot undergo standard implant surgery, to enjoy a more permanent solution to tooth loss. The “MDI Denture Stabilization System” was also created to help patients who cannot afford traditional implant surgery. Mini dental implants are the affordable denture option ideal for a variety of patients.

Waynesboro's top family dentist explains what you should know about denture stabilization with mini dental implants before scheduling an appointment:

• What: The MDI Denture Stabilization System features mini titanium implants. which function as permanent tooth root replacements. The implant head features a ball-like shape with the retaining fixture of a socket with a rubber O-ring. The O-ring snaps over the ball when the denture is affixed to hold it in place. The result is dentures resting on gum tissue, providing micro-mobility, and remaining unaffected by natural lifting forces.

• How: Your Waynesboro family dentist uses local anesthesia and a precise, controlled surgical technique, setting the implants in the jawbone. Implant heads extend beyond the gum tissue to provide a strong foundation that secures your dentures perfectly. It’s possible to stabilize dentures the same day implants are set due to the minimally-invasive nature of the procedure.
• 48 Hours: Dentures must be left in for 48 hours after placement. Mild discomfort is normal, however, you should not experience serious bleeding. Prescribed pain medication alleviates discomfort, and while you may eat right away, your Waynesboro family dentist recommends avoiding hard or sticky foods.
• Care: Rinsing your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash is necessary following denture removal, as is brushing teeth with a toothbrush specifically designed for mini dental implants. Such toothbrushes clean implants while stimulating gum tissue. Brushing the balls of implants is the same as normal brushing, and required to avoid plaque buildup.
