Mini Dental Implants

Look to Mini Dental Implants as an Option

Those concerned about getting dental implants either because of the surgery or the number of them should consider mini dental implants. It’s a less invasive procedure with a faster recovery time but offers the same tooth function and good looks.

What Are Mini Dental Implants?

The biggest difference between a conventional implant and mini dental implants is the minis have a smaller, one-piece screw. It’s less than 3 mm in diameter and is shaped differently from traditional implant posts. The teeth themselves look the same as your natural teeth.

Easier Placement

Placing mini dental implants is less invasive than conventional implants because they are smaller. They are put into the jawbone over the gum surface instead of under the gums like conventional implants. The process is quicker and the procedure may only require local anesthesia. Conventional implants require stitches but mini dental implants sometimes don’t.

Who Should Get Mini Dental Implants?

Mini dental implants are a good alternative when you can't undergo invasive surgery or don't have enough time where you schedule multiple dental visits.

It is also an option when you don't have enough jawbone to accommodate a full-size implant.

It Could Cost Less

Less invasive techniques mean mini dental implants can cost less than conventional implants, saving you as much as 50 percent. It depends on each individual case. Mini dental implants can also mean less recovery time. Make an appointment and let us see if mini dental implants are a good option for you.
