What Are Mini Dental Implants?
Above is just one example of what mini dental implants can do for your smile.
This type of implant is a smaller, nonsurgical, cost-effective implant to retain and stabilize your lower dentures comfortably. This means no more rocking dentures! Mini dental implants are also regularly used for single tooth replacement and also in crown and bridge placements.
Mini dental implants vs dental implants:
Mini implants are surgical titanium implants that can be put into function (under a denture, under a bridge, or under a crown) on the same day that they are placed. They are smaller diameter implants (1.8 mm to 2.5mm) and can even be used where conventional implants do not have enough room.
How can mini dental implants help you?
They can be used for orthodontic anchorage, for single-unit crowns, to retain fixed bridgework and for secure retention of partial or full dentures. TheyΒ make it possible to floss between your teeth just as you did with your natural teeth. They make it possible to live as close as possible as you did with your natural teeth. Nothing touching the roof of your mouth.
Are you a good candidate for mini dental implants?
The criteria for all implant success is bone. You must have the right type, width, and height of bone.
How much do mini dental implants cost?
Mini dental implants generally start at $1000 per implant depending on the diameter and what type of crown or denture you will need placed on top of it. Conventional implants are about $4,000 per implant.
How long do mini dental implants last?
This is dependent on the patient’s health and the condition of the bone in the placement site. We generally assume mini dental implants will be very long-term as long as the patient takes care of his mouth and comes in for regular check-ups.
Complete treatment and fitting can be done in just a few hours, by a trained doctor like Dr. Bertolini. He has been certified in and placing mini dental implants in North Canton for over 25 years.
