Mini Implants
Mini dental implants have been used for many years to hold denture plates in position, providing patients with the ability to eat, smile and speak with comfort and confidence.
Today, use of this non-surgical mini dental implant technology has been expanding for anything from replacing a single tooth to a full mouth restoration. Thousands of implants have been placed with a 98% success rate using this simple, cost effective procedure. The entire process consists of a consultation visit with your dentist and an impression being taken. Then, at one treatment visit, your dentist will place the mini implant(s) in the mouth, and will place the final restorations(s). In about 45 minutes, a single tooth can be replaced without grinding down healthy enamel. You can walk out ready to enjoy the foods you wish, without the long healing times and costs typically associated with conventional dental implants.
