Do you have a loose denture? If you have around an hour of time a few mini dental implants can be placed to secure that upper or lower denture.
3 out of 4 mini dental implants placed in the lower jaw to anchor in a snap in/out denture. Mini Dental Implants can typically be placed without cutting the gums, so less surgery, less healing time, less discomfort and less cost for the patient.
This also allows medically compromised patients, such as diabetics or patients on blood thinning medicines, to be potential candidates for mini dental implants.
Four snaps inside the existing denture. In this case we were able to use the patients denture and fit the retentive snaps inside the lower denture. These snap on top of the 4 mini dental implants.
About an hour later the mini dental implants are in place and the denture is fitted with the snaps. An easy and cost effective way to help patients suffering from loose or ill fitting dentures.

I met you last year in Las Vegas at the Mini Implant Seminar.
I've been doing several implants, but OCO is here in Albuquerque. I love the mini implants, but I'd like to get a more crown and bridge type head on the mini when I seat crowns or bridges over them.
I'd like to come to one of your seminars and learn how to augment bone after extractions and start to place lots of mini implants. Somehow I was not able to get the link to work to see if I could register for the Houston workshop.
Anyway, it would be great to get with you and learn from you on these minis.
Thanks
Kenneth Armstrong.

Ken,
I am glad that you have started offering mini dental implants at your office. It is a great service for patients. Less surgery, less healing, less discomfort and very cost effective.
The seminar in Houston will be for the ACE miniMark Locator implant. Overdenture solutions only. For a seminar more in what you are looking for I would recommend the Raleigh NC class in June. That will feature the OCO entire line of implants from minis to regular sizes. You should walk away with lots of every day uses for minis and an easy path to larger sizes. Best regards, Paresh Patel DDS
