Boston Affordable Dental Implants

Many people are absolutely miserable with their dentures. They don’t fit correctly. They move around. Their food gets under them. And they have to worry about them slipping out at embarrassing times. Sometimes these patients are in a quandary. While they know dental implants are the best solution to their problems with dentures, they may be out of reach with their current budget. Dr. Burba wanted to have a solution for his patients in that predicament.

The Option of Affordable Dental Implants

Mini Implants

A mini implant next to a traditional implant. The narrower diameter makes it a more affordable implant.

At Burba Dental we offer two options for affordable dental implants. The first is mini implants. As you can see from the picture, mini implants are about 1/3 the diameter of standard implants. The smaller diameter makes the surgery much simpler, which in turn saves you on surgical fees and recovery time. It does have limitations, and you need to be careful in selecting a dentist that understands those limitations. Mini implants may be able to stabilize a denture in some situations, but they are not as strong as standard dental implants and cannot support a tooth.

Snap On Dentures

A second affordable implant option is snap on dentures. The cost of implants is directly related to the number of implants you have placed. Therefore, if you have two standard implants placed instead of six, your cost will be significantly less. Two implants are enough to stabilize a denture to where you wouldn’t have to worry about them ever falling out in public again. Another benefit is the treatment is completely upgradable. While there is no doubt that implants are the superior treatment for replacing your teeth, if you can’t afford all of them, getting two is a good start. This way you can start with two and work your way up to getting more as you’re able.
