Mini Implants at Cloppers Mill Dental Care

All dental implants are not the same. Depending on how big the implant itself is, it will be classified as either a standard dental implant or a mini dental implant, which is sometimes also called a denture implant.  A mini implant is smaller and thinner than a regular dental implant.  In addition, mini tooth implants are also considerably more affordable.

The mini dental implant system consists of a miniature titanium implant that acts like the root of your tooth and a retaining fixture that is incorporated into the base of the replacement tooth, or denture. The head of the implant is shaped like a ball, and the retaining fixture acts like a socket that contains a rubber O-ring. The O ring snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds the denture at a predetermined level of force. When seated, the denture gently rests on the gum tissue.

Placement of the mini dental implants is accomplished quickly and easily in a process performed in our office. The procedure generally takes around 1 to 2 hours. Using a precise, controlled, minimally invasive surgical technique, the implants are placed into the jawbone. The heads of the implants protrude from the gum tissue, providing a strong, solid foundation for securing the dentures.  It is a one-step procedure that takes less time and heals faster than standard implants.

Our staff has a vast array of experience in mini dental implants.  To discuss whether you're a candidate for mini implants, or to set your appointment, call us today!
