Feb 04, 2015 /prREACH/ -- Los Gatos, CA cosmetic dentist, Dr. Gregory Sawyer, is helping denture patients finally get the permanent, natural-looking smile they’ve always dreamed of even after tooth loss. With mini dental implants, denture patients are able to get a permanent, functional smile that will allow them to eat all of their favorite foods and smile confidently without major surgery and at an affordable price.

Mini dental implants are some of the latest technology available for restorative procedures, and represent a much smaller version of their traditional implant counterparts. Because mini dental implants are much smaller than traditional implants, they are a viable solution for denture patients who have experienced bone resorption after tooth loss and may not have the proper bone density to support traditional implants. For denture patients, mini dental implants offer the opportunity to have permanently fixed dentures that restore total function to their smiles.

“A lot of our denture patients feel like they lost a part of their life when they had to resort to removable dentures,” said Dr. Gregory Sawyer. “With removable dentures, they often can’t eat the foods they want, they can’t smile or speak the way they want, and they have the daily hassle of denture removal and cleaning on top of that, too. With mini dental implants and fixed dentures, all of those problems are eliminated. They can go back to enjoying life just like they did when they still had all of their permanent teeth.”

Mini dental implants can be completed using local anesthetic and only require 1-2 office visits. To support permanent dentures, typically 4-6 mini dental implants are inserted along the upper and lower bottom arches of the jaw. Once the full dentures are permanently attached to these implants, patients can enjoy an entirely new natural-looking, permanent smile. Because the procedure is much less invasive and time consuming, mini dental implants are much more affordable than traditional implants that require several different office visits over the course of several months.

In the case of former removable denture patients, mini dental implants have also shown to help improve overall health since patients are able to eat a more well-rounded diet and are able to chew their food much more properly, preventing digestion issues that are fairly common with removable denture patients. Additionally, mini dental implants eliminate the hassle of having to use adhesive strips or pastes just to keep dentures in place.

Dr. Sawyer is known as a global expert in dental implant technology, and often travels across the world to instruct other dentists about the proper use and placement of dental implants. He has more than 40 years of experience as a dental professional and takes pride in always remaining up-to-date with the latest dental technology and procedures.
