How are Mini Dental Implants Placed?
Placement of the mini implants is accomplished quickly and easily in a process performed in our office, with local anesthesia or a light sedation to help make you more comfortable. Using a precise, controlled, minimally invasive surgical technique, Mini Dental Implants are placed into the jawbone. The heads of the implants protrude from the gum tissue and provide a strong, solid foundation for securing (or “snapping-in”) your dentures or partial. In some situations, a single crown may also be cemented over the mini implant in order to replace a single missing tooth. It is a one-step procedure that involved minimally invasive surgery, no sutures, nor the typical months of healing.
