Most people receive four mini implants to secure the lower denture, while at least six are used to secure the upper denture. Depending on how much bone the patient has, the dentist may suggest placing more mini implants to secure the denture. This allows those with unstable dentures to benefit from the secure feel of dentures.
If you are wearing partial dentures, mini implants will only be placed in the areas where teeth are missing. This allows the implant to snap into the portion of the partial denture that is used to replace the missing teeth.
