In times past, getting dental implants has meant a long-healing, somewhat painful process with some waiting before you can even wear your new smile. With Mini Dental Implants, you can visit our office in the morning and after a few short hours, have your brand new smile securely in place and go out for lunch.
The revolutionary MDI therapy has been one of the most significant advances in dentistry in the past 25 years. Patients who do not have enough bone density, who are seeking a lower cost option or who cannot withstand the rigor of traditional implants are now candidates for this advanced procedure.
Mini Dental Implants are placed with local anesthesia and act as your natural tooth’s root, securing your dentures. The process is very precise and is minimally invasive which allows your dentures to be worn immediately – no healing time.

What is a Mini Dental Impant?
A dental implant is a small, sturdy titanium post that is carefully placed in the jawbone. It can be placed in either the upper or lower jaw, and once healed, the titanium tooth implant functions much like a natural tooth root. After the dental implant has fused with the bone and is supported by the surrounding tissues, a replacement tooth or crown may be placed on top of the titanium tooth implant. A fixed bridge or removable denture can also be anchored by a dental implant to provide stability and comfort.
A dental implant is one of the most successful options available for replacing missing teeth.
Because a mini dental implant is smaller than a traditional titanium tooth implant, it is more easily placed in the jawbone. The mini dental implant procedure is minimally invasive, taking only about an hour. Most of the time, the surgical technique doesn’t require an incision in the gums or stitches afterwards. The mini dental implant can be placed in a single visit, without the typical months of healing required for a traditional dental implant.
The mini dental implant is an excellent solution to anchor and stabilize removable dentures.
