Option 1: Mini Implants
4 to 6 mini implants required
Provides improved denture stability
Involves a mechanical retention of the implant to the bone as
opposed to a biological integration, so the risk
of rejection is lower
Easy to clean
Smallest financial investment for patient
Easy to fix if an implant is lost
Painless procedure
No waiting time
O-rings easy to replace
6000 - 7000$ per jaw, and they cost less
when used with denture
