If you are a candidate for dental implants, we will determine whether conventional implants or mini implants are the best option for you. Every case is unique, and we customize treatment to ensure the best long-term results for your specific needs. In some situations, a conventional implant is ideal, while in others, a mini implant may be the better choice.

The primary difference between conventional and mini implants is their size. The decision depends largely on how much bone is available to support the implant. We will evaluate your bone structure to determine which option is most suitable for you.

Many patients believe that dental implants are a recent innovation, but they have actually been used since the 1950s. Over time, the procedure has been refined, and the structure of dental implants has significantly improved. Advancements in technology have made the process more efficient, reducing discomfort, treatment time, and overall costs, making implants a more accessible and effective solution for patients.
