Mini Dental Implants

A less invasive alternative

For patients struggling to adjust to dentures — or who are not candidates for full dental implants — mini dental implants can be an excellent option. Imagine Advanced Dental Arts uses 3M MDI mini-dental implants, FDA-approved and designed to secure dentures and help with eating, speaking, and smiling more confidently.

What mini implants can do

• Support and stabilize individual dentures
• Anchor cemented crowns and bridges
• Prevent denture slippage so you can chew and speak with confidence
• Reduce trapped food particles and "denture breath"

The procedure

A small titanium rod is placed into the gumline to mimic a natural tooth root and support your denture or restoration. The procedure is minimally invasive, performed in our office, requires no sutures, and the healing process is typically quite rapid — most placements take just over an hour.

"It has only been a few days with my new mini implants but I had a cheese steak last night and was able to enjoy it without worrying about my dentures flopping around. I am so happy so far." — Jim
