She has been unable to find the o-rings that go on them. The dentist that originally did the procedure told her he couldn't get them and she has gone to another dentist who says that the kind she has have been "discontinued" and that she would have to get new ones. Another $1700.00 that she cannot afford. Is there anywhere that these o-rings maybe located? Are they a special material? Thanks for any help you can give. Shelly My mother has dental implants.

If you think private dentist is expensive you could go to general clinics or clinics in dental faculty so that they'll be able to help you at a cheaper price. You could tighten a denture with mini implant but do not use a mini implant to support a tooth like normal implant as this won't work. Wish you best of luck. Erica To Sylvia,

My dentist has made me another partial denture but he can't attach it until I have another implant.That will cost me an extra $750. I have already paid him $4000.00 and $5000.00 goes to the dentist. I don't know what to do.

This involved less invasive, flapless surgery and therefore less chance of swelling, less pain, and faster initial healing times.As a result, post- insertion irritation and soreness is reduced. The procedure generally takes 1-1 1/2 hours. [...] [...] Mini dental implant is a miniature titanium implants that is inserted directly through the overlying gum tissue and into the bone underneath.
