What Is a Mini Dental Implant?

In this video, Dr. Rose Magno explains how mini dental implants offer a less invasive, faster alternative to traditional implants, with a success rate over 95%. Visit us in Emeryville to explore this innovative option, serving San Francisco, East Bay, and Oakland.

A mini dental implant is a smaller, narrower alternative to a conventional implant, offering several benefits. It’s less invasive because it doesn’t require gum surgery or the need to flap open the gums. Additionally, mini implants allow for a quicker process, meaning you don’t have to wait 6 to 9 months to receive the final crown, unlike traditional implants that require a longer healing time.

Mini dental implants have been around since the 1970s, primarily used to stabilize dentures. However, in the last 10 years, they have increasingly been used to replace single teeth, multiple teeth, dentures, and even fixed bridges. Despite being smaller, mini implants have a similar success rate—over 95%—to that of conventional implants, making them a reliable and effective option for dental restoration.
