Mini Implant Technology good for long term denture stabilization?
Last Updated: Nov 25, 2015
I have had a full upper denture for the past two years, I gag every time I put it in, I just had them relined and still have a problem even with fixodent, biting into a sandwich or hamburger. Most of the information I have read says mini implants on the upper are not proven to be long lasting. Some dentists say they put in four implants and others say up to six depending on my bone density. I was also told they would remove most of the palate area for the denture to make my gag reflex less apparent.
I have received cost from $3,900 to $6,900 for 4-6 mini implants and a new upper denture. I just retired and I want to make sure if I spend the money will the minis last
