What If I Don’t Have Enough Bone For a Dental Implant?

In this video, Dr. Rose Magno explains how mini implants are ideal for patients with insufficient bone. Contact our Emeryville office to schedule a consultation and explore your options.

If you’ve been told by another dentist that you don’t have enough bone for traditional implants, you’ve come to the right place. In many cases, patients with insufficient bone for traditional implants can still benefit from mini implants.

Mini implants are designed for situations where the jawbone is thinner or has resorbed over time, such as after tooth loss or damage. These implants are smaller and require less bone density, making them an ideal solution for over 90% of patients in these circumstances.

To determine if you’re a candidate for mini implants, I’ll need to review your X-rays and conduct an examination. Once I assess your bone structure, I can confidently determine if mini implants are a viable option for you. Let me take a look at your X-rays, perform an exam, and I’ll find the right solution to restore your smile.
