How Does Gum Disease Affect Dental Implants?

In this video, Dr. Rose Magno explains how mini implants minimize risks of gum disease-related failures compared to traditional implants. Visit our Emeryville office to learn more.

Mini dental implants have a significantly lower risk of complications compared to traditional implants. While traditional implants have a 90% chance of developing periodontal disease, which can lead to bone loss and implant failure, mini implants are far less likely to encounter these issues. The main cause of failure for traditional implants is bone loss due to periodontal disease, but this is rare with mini implants.

Mini implants have a remarkable 95% success rate, with only a 5% failure rate. Most mini implant failures are not due to periodontal disease, which is the leading cause of failure for traditional implants. This makes mini implants a highly reliable and successful option for many patients seeking dental restoration.
