Traditional Implants vs Mini Dental Implants

Watch this video to learn about the differences in the process and healing periods between conventional and mini dental implants.

Why would you want a mini implant instead of a regular implant? Well, first off, one huge reason is healing. Mini implants are way less invasive.

As you can see, this many implant here compared to the old fashioned two piece implants. In this case, this has to heal for three, four months before the top can be put on and a crown on top of it. This implant here was placed and a crown was on the same day. That’s a big plus.

Most people love the convenience and the fact that it’s less invasive, heals quicker, and also less expensive. If you think that sounds good, please come see us about mini implants and ask about a free consultation with a 3D scan.
