Standard Implants vs. Mini Implants for Lower Overdenture?
Last Updated: Oct 27, 2008
Lisa, a dental implant patient, asks:
I have been to two dentists who place and restore dental implants. Their recommendations are very different. One uses the standard implants and the other uses mini implants. I am going to be getting a lower overdenture. Both dentists do agree that the only function of the dental implants will be to hold the overdenture in place and to keep it from lifting off like my current lower denture. So what do you recommend – 4 mini implants or 2 conventional implants? Thanks.
