Q. I recently had 5 mini implants placed in my upper jaw immediately after the removal of several teeth.During my initial consultation I was advised that the larger conventional implants would be best. But on the day of surgery was told that because I had bad gum disease it would compromise the implants and therefore best to use mini implants.I am slightly concerned and my confidence in this clinic is a little shaken.Does the advice sound valid to you?,
A. I personally wouldn\’t change the type of implants at the time of placement. Implant treatment should be planned meticulously prior to the removal of the teeth and placement of the implants.
