Dr. John Hopkins, a third generation Mississippi Gulf Coast dentist, has been one of the Gulf South’s premier cosmetic and general dentists for over 25 years.
After attending Tulane University and receiving his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Mississippi in 1977, Dr. Hopkins graduated from the prestigious Emory University School of Dentistry in Atlanta, Georgia.
At Emory, Dr. Hopkins studied directly under Dr. Ronald Goldstein, considered the father of modern aesthetic dentistry.
Following graduation from Emory in 1981, Dr. Hopkins joined an esteemed multi-specialty practice in Palm Beach, Florida, where he honed his skills in numerous dental specialties: endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery and aesthetics.
While in Florida, Dr. Hopkins also completed the continuum at the Pankey Institute, the most renowned dental education institute in the world.
Mini dental implants can help hold loose dentures in position or replace individual and multiple missing teeth.
Mini Implants are about half the size of traditional implant, and therefore don’t require as much bone. With less bone needed, costly, painful and time-consuming bone grafts are typically not required.
In most cases, the mini dental implant procedure is less than half the cost of a traditional implant case, saving you money.
Because they are less invasive, and don’t require the lengthy healing time of traditional implants, they can typically be loaded with crowns, bridges and dentures immediately.
Because mini implants are much smaller, placing them is a less invasive procedure—requiring less healing time and discomfort, and fewer visits.
Mini implants are made out of titanium—the same type of material that is used on artificial joints, and they are not subject to decay or periodontal disease.
