Q. Hello, I have dental implants in my lower jaw to hold a fixed bridge and its been great. I could’nt have conventional implants in my upper jaw as the bone at the front of my palate was too thin. It is thicker at the sides and the back. I have just found out about mini implants, can you have them installed if the bone is thin, or do you need thick bone as with conventional implants. I would just like them in my upper jaw to support the upper denture, it would give me more confidence. Thanks Karen,
