When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

You will be better off putting 2 regular implants to support an overdenture to start with. You can always add at least 2 more in the future for a possible fixed case (like a hybrid appliance). Mini-implants are truly temporary implants. I have been placing a lot of implants in my practice, and taking your age into account, I will not recommend mini-implants.

Sincerely,
