Mini Implants Work Like Traditional Implants

Mini implants offer you many of the same great benefits of standard dental implants, including:

  • A complete, healthy smile that you’ll take pride in showing off
  • Improved oral health and potentially better overall health
  • The ability to eat any kind of foods you want
  • Increased confidence and self-esteem

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!

Take Your Choice of Implant-Supported Teeth

Below are a few teeth replacement options we can secure to your new mini implants:

  • Single Implant Crowns – We can replace a missing tooth with a new crown that will restore your biting and chewing power.
  • Implant-Supported Bridges – Replace several missing teeth in a row with a bridge that will anchor to two or more mini teeth implants.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures – Get a full arch of new teeth with dentures that are anchored to your minis.

Get your smile and your bite back with mini dental implants in Puyallup. Call us today to schedule your consultation: 253-999-9419. We look forward to helping you rebuild your smile! You can also make an appointment .

Commonly Asked Questions About Mini Dental Implants

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.
