Mini Dental Implants - Hardy Smiles

A mini dental implant is just what it sounds like — a dental implant that is smaller than a standard implant. Mini dental implants are most often used to anchor a denture in place for a more secure, stable restoration. Many of our patients also find implant-retained dentures to feel and look more like their natural teeth.

Our doctor may recommend mini implants if you are interested in a less invasive alternative to standard dental implants. Mini implants hold many benefits, including:

• The process for placing a mini dental implant is less invasive than placing a standard implant, resulting in a more comfortable treatment and shorter healing period.
• Mini dental implants are more affordable than standard implants.
• In some cases, we are able to place the mini implants and attach the dentures in the same day, resulting in a faster tooth replacement process.
• When used to anchor dentures, mini implants can enhance the comfort of your smile and allow you to chew, eat, and speak without worrying about slipping dentures.
