When a traditional-sized dental implant is too large to fit where a tooth needs replacement, it is nice to have another option. Here at Advantage Dentistry in Kenmore, NY, along with full-sized dental implants, we also offer mini implants.
Mini implants are great for when there is a narrow space a replacement needs to fit into. Because they are about half the size of a traditional-sized implant, there is no incision needed to insert the implant post. This means there is a much quicker healing period and the permanent replacement crown can often be attached in the same day.
Mini implants are also often used as base for dentures. Clipping the dentures into a set of implants offers a much more stable platform for them. Four to six mini implants are installed along the upper or lower jaw line (it can be done for both). Many dentures can then be adjusted so that they can be clipped into the implants. Others will have a new set of dentures created.
Mini implants are also able to last a lifetime with good care. If you think your oral health may benefit from mini implants, schedule a consultation in our Kenmore, NY dental office. To schedule, call Advantage Dentistry at (716) 877-2275 or visit our website, www.advantagedentistry.com.
