Mini Dental Implants

Less Invasive

Because the mini implant requires only a small pilot hole to be placed, it is less traumatic to the bone and soft tissue; as compared to a traditional conventional implant that usually involves extensive surgery and bone grafts.

Less Discomfort

Less trauma to the gums, bone and underlying tissue means less discomfort. Many patients need only over the counter pain medication for a day or so after the procedure.

Less Healing Time

Because placing the smaller diameter mini implant does not cause as much trauma to the bone and soft tissue in the mouth, your healing time is reduced from months to days.

Less Time To Complete The Case

In many cases the mini implant can be loaded immediately after placement.  This means that most procedures, including anchoring dentures, can be done in fewer visits.  Total treatment time for conventional implant therapy can take from months to years.  Mini implant therapy total treatment time is greatly reduced to weeks to months.

Less Expensive

In many cases, mini implants cost around half the cost of traditional conventional implants. Mini implants require less bone so one is less likely to need additional costly bone grafts. Also minis are a one piece implant while traditional conventional implants have two or more pieces requiring multiple surgeries for placement.
