Candidates for Mini Dental Implants

Dental implants are one of the most popular forms of restorative dentistry. However, the cost can be exorbitant, especially if your insurance doesn’t cover it. If you are one of the 40 million Americans that are without teeth and do not have dental implants, chances are it is because they are too expensive. Fortunately, now there are mini dental implants, a strong option for the more budget-conscious.

You may still be a good candidate for mini dental implants even if you were told that you require a bone graft for regular dental implants. Due to their small size, mini dental implants require very little bone for placement.

If you are free of periodontal disease, are not diabetic or suffer from an uncontrolled chronic condition, you should qualify for mini dental implants. Any of our dental implants doctors in Los Angeles will confirm that you should be in good standing, unless you have an irregular bite or jaw configuration issues.

Our expert in mini dental implants in Los Angeles will advise you that mini dental implants began as a temporary measure, and are best used to solve issues with a single tooth. This is especially true in the places where bite forces are low, such as the bottom front teeth. For other questions about mini dental implants, schedule a consult with our team.
