      The Mini Dental Implant Advantage

      Half The Size

      Mini Implants are about half the size of traditional implant, and therefore don’t require as much bone. With less bone needed, costly, painful and time-consuming bone grafts are typically not required.

      Significantly Less Expensive

      In most cases, the mini dental implant procedure is significantly less expensive than a traditional implant case, saving you money.

      Preserves Bone Structure

      Implants preserve your natural bone structure so you can maintain the shape of your face and avoid continued bone loss where teeth are missing.

      Immediate Results

      Because they are less invasive, and don’t require the lengthy healing time of traditional implants, they can typically be loaded with crowns, bridges and dentures immediately.

      Less Healing Time & Fewer Visits

      Because mini implants are much smaller, placing them is a less invasive procedure—requiring less healing time and discomfort, and fewer visits.

      No More Decay

      Mini implants are made out of titanium—the same type of material that is used on artificial joints, and they are not subject to decay or periodontal disease.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        For missing teeth, our practice offers a versatile and efficient solution with mini dental implants. Whether you’re missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or require replacement of an entire upper and lower arch of teeth, mini dental implants can address these needs in just one visit. This method is less invasive than traditional dental implant surgery, reducing discomfort and recovery time. Additionally, mini dental implants come at about half the cost of traditional implants, making this a more affordable option.

        Yes, we have an excellent solution for securing loose dentures: mini implant-secured dentures. This option utilizes mini dental implants to firmly anchor your dentures, providing a stable and secure fit. This means you can say goodbye to the discomfort and insecurity of loose dentures, and welcome the confidence of a well-fitted smile.

        Mini dental implants and traditional dental implants both serve the purpose of replacing missing teeth, yet they differ in several aspects. Mini implants are smaller and less invasive, making them ideal for situations with limited space or for patients with less bone density, and they typically come at a lower cost. Traditional implants, on the other hand, are larger and provide a more robust solution, especially for individual tooth replacement, but require a greater amount of healthy jawbone or potentially a bone graft. Understanding these differences is key, and we’re here to help you navigate these options.

        Absolutely, we offer same-day dental implants using mini dental implants!

This not only restores the appearance of your smile but also improves functionality in eating and speaking.

        Yes, we offer a fantastic alternative to the All-on-4 procedure, which we call “Fix-on-Six” using mini dental implants. This innovative approach is not only less invasive but also more cost-effective compared to traditional All-on-4 treatments. The Fix-on-Six method utilizes mini dental implants to securely anchor your new teeth. This process is designed to be less intensive, reducing discomfort and speeding up recovery time.

        Yes, we do offer an excellent option for a Snap-On Smile with mini dental implant-retained dentures. These are a fantastic choice for those seeking a stable and secure dental solution.
