The Mini Dental Implant Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

In this video, Dr. Jacob Baker introduces mini dental implants, highlighting their versatility, minimally invasive procedure, and suitability for patients who may not qualify for conventional implants. To discover if mini implants are the right choice for your smile, schedule a free implant consultation at Riviera Dental Care today.

We are excited to offer mini dental implants to our community, providing a versatile solution for a wide range of patients. Unlike conventional implants, which often require sufficient bone width and height, mini implants can be used in many cases where traditional implants were not an option. This allows us to provide implant solutions to more patients than ever before.

When you come in for a consultation, we begin by taking a quick and easy 3D scan of your jaw. This scan gives us a detailed view of your bone structure, including its height and width. Using advanced computer-guided technology, we carefully plan the optimal placement of each implant to ensure the best possible outcome.

Mini implants can be used to support single crowns, dentures, or other restorations, depending on your needs. With their minimally invasive placement, faster healing time, and broad applicability, mini implants offer a convenient and effective solution for many patients seeking a stable and long-lasting tooth replacement.
