I haven't seen ground down teeth with a denture that fits on top. It's very likely that is a technique that isn't widely used and could possibly be problematic. I can see why a dentist who isn't familiar with that or for whatever reason doesn't see it as a good idea reject doing it. And just because it works well for one person doesn't mean it will work well in all situations, KWIM? Regular implants aren't any worse than minis. I am more used to seeing minis with dentures but it doesn't mean the regular ones are wrong. Dentistry, especially prosthetics, can vary on what is best for the particular patient given the circumstances. And there are never any guarantees when you alter someone's body. There are a lot of variables to take into consideration and different people may come up with different treatment plans for similar work.
