The Mini Dental Implant Advantage
Half The Size
Mini Implants are about half the size of traditional implant, and therefore don’t require as much bone. With less bone needed, costly, painful and time-consuming bone grafts are typically not required.
Significantly Less Expensive
In most cases, the mini dental implant procedure is significantly less expensive than a traditional implant case, saving you money.
Preserves Bone Structure
Immediate Results
Because they are less invasive, and don’t require the lengthy healing time of traditional implants, they can typically be loaded with crowns, bridges and dentures immediately.
Less Healing Time & Fewer Visits
Because mini implants are much smaller, placing them is a less invasive procedure—requiring less healing time and discomfort, and fewer visits.
No More Decay
Mini implants are made out of titanium—the same type of material that is used on artificial joints, and they are not subject to decay or periodontal disease.
Mini Dental Implants Can Change Your Life!
Ensuring Affordable Dental Care in Albuquerque
We believe everyone deserves high-quality dental care, regardless of their financial situation. In addition to accepting a variety of insurance plans, we offer multiple financing options, including affordable monthly payment plans, to ensure our patients receive the treatments they need.
