The cost of mini implant procedures depends on exactly what you are having done and what you are comfortable paying for. The most common denture problem that patients tend to have is loose ill fitting lower dentures. Lower dentures can come loose during normal chewing and make it difficult to eat many foods. Loose dentures can rub the gums raw and cause multiple sores spots in a denture wearer's mouth. These sore spots make it difficult to keep the dentures in. Loose dentures can also come loose during talking. This is embarrassing and causes a patient to continually hold a hand over the mouth while speaking. Mini implant dentures offer a possible solution.

          The cost of mini implant procedures when an old denture can be retrofitted to the new mini implant arrangement often runs between $ 3,500 and $ 4,000. In most cases, four mini dental implants can be placed in the anterior bone of the lower jaw and the patient's old denture retrofitted to the implants. This significantly decreases the dental implant cost by avoiding having to make new dentures and also significantly decreases the number of visits necessary.

          Of course, the cost of mini implant procedures is more when new dentures have to be made because the patient has to add the fee for the new dentures onto the dental implant fee. Mini implants do not make badly designed, over shortened, old dentures new again. Dentures should be replaced every five years to replace the worn away tops of the old denture teeth. If a patient fails to do this, the patient's face can badly collapse and cause a number of other problems.
