Mini Dental Implant in Fairhope, AL

Mini Dental Implants

If you want to replace a missing tooth but do not require a large dental implant to do so, our dentist, may recommend mini dental implants in Fairhope, Alabama. This restorative treatment is less invasive than a traditional implant but also creates a permanent oral restoration to restore your smile. Give Eastern Shore Oral, Facial and Implant Surgery Center a call at 251-577-8302 to learn more and schedule a visit with our oral surgeon, Dr. Richard Cordero.

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 for a more secure, stable restoration. Many of our patients find implant-retained dentures to feel and look more like their natural teeth.

Our dentist 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.
• Mini implants, like standard implants, help to prevent bone loss after tooth loss, which helps to maintain your facial shape and volume.
