Mini implants offer you many of the same great benefits of standard dental implants, including:
Like their full-sized counterparts, mini implants serve as replacement tooth roots. If your jawbone isn’t strong enough to support regular implants, or if you don’t want a bone graft procedure, you may be a good candidate for minis. After we place them into your jaw using 3-D imaging and a computer-guided procedure, they will fuse with your bone and create a stable base for brand-new replacement teeth.
Compared to standard implants, the healing time with mini implants is much quicker, so you’ll be able to get your new teeth sooner. You’ll enjoy a full smile and renewed biting power without waiting several months!
Below are a few teeth replacement options we can secure to your new mini implants:

I don’t like going to the dentist but these guys make it better. Everyone is very friendly and I’m in and out of cleanings fast but not rushed. They are taking COVID precautions and make me feel safe about that. I love these guys and will continue to go there as long as my insurance allows.
It’s always a great experience at Hartland Dental. Office staff, hygienists are professional every step of the way. Dr. Dan, is non judgmental congenial, caring and will explain every procedure if necessary. Pleased to be his patient for over 20 years.
Dr. Smith and Dr. Wetterhus have both worked on my teeth. Both the doctors and the staff are amazing. They treat their patients how they want to be treated. Gentle hands and excellent communication. As someone who has had some bad dental experiences in the past with other dentists, it is a huge relief to have found these wonderful caring people. Highly recommended!!
I have been going to Dr Smith for 12.5 years and wouldn’t ever consider anyone else. The staff is amazing and take the time to review your charts. Listen to your concerns and help o find solutions.
Best dental team ever. Everyone has a great attitude. Dr. Smith is amazing. Professional, caring, thorough. Highly recommended; you’re in excellent hands here!
Absolutely the best dentist I’ve ever been to. Every single interaction from check in and billing, to the dental assistants and hygienists to the dentists. Everyone is an absolute gem and completely concerned about your comfort, completely open about added costs and I’ve never waited even five minutes to be called back from the waiting room. I’ve had a lifetime of cavities and fillings so I’m quite familiar with the perils of the dentist office. They do a fantastic job keeping my smile as good as they can given my sugar addiction and horrible flossing habits. I would not change a thing here
Prior to my visit today, I’ve neglected my dental health, and was in need of an immediate visit. While looking online for a dentist in the area, I stumbled upon this office and tried to make an appointment. To my surprise they were able to fit me in this morning. I’ve had terrible experiences in the past with dentists and have never been able to find one that I actually felt welcome in. Dr. Smith explained things to me in a way that actually made sense, while comforting and reassuring me. While waiting, one of the office ladies even called my insurance to see what we could get covered so I would know ahead of time. Everyone that I interacted with went well above what they *needed* to do, in order to help me as much as possible, and for that I thank them. After today, I now have a dentist office I want to stay with.
Great first visit! Very friendly Dr. and staff. Seemed like a happy group which usually makes for happy patients. Exam was thorough and treatment follow up visits were efficently scheduled. Nice office and clean exam room. Very gentle with my mouth and teeth too!
I cannot say enough amazing things about this group of people! From the girls at the front desk, to the dental assistants, and of course the dentists. Everyone I know, knows how anxious I am about any dental work but this place makes me feel immediately at ease and I honestly look forward to coming back. On a regular basis! Not just when something starts hurting haha!
Best Dentistry Office in Washington The staff is an amazing 👏, they make sure your comfortable, they listen to your concerns, and the atmosphere is enjoyable 😉! You can tell they like their working environment 😀!
As the name implies, a mini dental implant is a smaller version of a dental implant. As with traditional dental implants, a post is surgically embedded into your jaw to act as a foundation for the dental restoration that will replace your tooth or teeth. The main difference between mini dental implants and traditional dental implants is that a smaller titanium post is used (about half the size of the titanium post used for traditional dental implants), which requires a less invasive procedure.
Mini dental implants are smaller, tend to be a less expensive option, and heal faster than traditional dental implants. They are an effective solution for tooth loss patients who can’t undergo a standard dental implant procedure due to loss of jawbone density and other oral health issues.
Mini dental implants are about half the diameter of full-size implants. Unlike conventional implants, they are made of one solid piece instead of two pieces (the implant itself plus an abutment for your dental restoration). Because of this, they aren’t right for every dental implant placement. Your dentist will help you determine which implants will work best for your situation.
