Mini Implants and Dentures

At Better Image Dentistry, Dr. Fairweather and his professional staff will do everything they can to restore or repair your natural teeth. But if many of your teeth are loose, painful, or badly damaged, it may not be possible to save them. This is often the result of advanced periodontal disease, which can cause severe bone loss.

In these cases, the best way to restore your dental health may be to removing most or all of your teeth and replace them with a denture. Better Image Dentistry offers a range of denture options for patients at our office in Bridgewater (Somerset County), NJ. Please contact us for more information.

When I started my career, 25 years ago, I was constantly faced with people with dentures they were unable to wear. They would slip and slide, click and clack!! Often people would come in, sometimes with 3 or 4 sets of dentures and each had a story about why they couldn’t be worn. Just eating the most basic foods like meat and vegetables was impossible. I felt so helpless. Here I am with all this knowledge and skill but I couldn’t help them.

Then, finally there was help. Implant secured dentures. I got to help many people. It was truly life changing for them. However, I still couldn’t help many people due to the high cost of conventional implants. Now, that’s all changed with Mini Dental Implants.

Mini Dental Implants are much smaller than conventional implants and can be placed without the incisions or healing time required with conventional implants. You can actually, in about 2 hours, have implants placed in the morning and eat lunch with your implant secured denture immediately!! All this at a fraction of the cost of conventional implants and without stiches and an involved surgery. Now we’re able to help so many more people with this affordable, simple procedure
 

Are Dentures a Good Option for Me?

If your teeth have deteriorated to the point that all or most of your teeth cannot be saved, removing the teeth is always the healthiest choice. However, a denture NEVER feels or functions exactly like your own natural teeth. That is why we will always work to save any teeth we can or recommend the placement of implants to stabilize your denture for better chewing ability and a more confident feel (no slipping!).

Because every patient is unique, Dr. Fairweather and his professional staff will evaluate your specific dental condition to determine whether dentures are right for you. Please contact us to schedule a consultation at our office in Bridgewater, NJ.
