Mini Dental Implants
Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
Diagram of a Mini Dental Implant from Palani Center for Dental Implants in Rancho Palos Verdes, CAMini dental implants are about half the size in diameter of a regular dental implant. This offers many benefits, and they can also be used in situations where regular implants cannot. If an implant needs to be placed in a narrow space, mini implants are the preferred method because of their smaller size.

A main use for mini implants is to install a full upper or lower denture. A series of mini implants (4-6) are placed along the gum line and they serve as the base of the denture. Rather than placing a single implant for a single tooth, an entire lower or upper set of teeth are directly attached at the gum line.

The small size of mini implants often means that no incision needs to be made to place the implant. They can usually be inserted right through the gum into the bone. This eliminates the need for a recovery period, and the restoration can usually be placed right away or only a short time after.

Mini implants are also less expensive than regular implants. Only your dentist knows if mini implants are right for you, so call for your consultation today.

Dental Implant Experience Matters


Even if you’re an ideal patient with good overall health and healthy gums and bone, it’s important that you seek treatment from an experienced implant dentist. Dental implants are a complex treatment that requires more unique experience and skill than other restorative solutions. If you have many missing teeth and bone loss or are suffering from oral infection, this only adds to the complexity and the need for a qualified and experienced clinician. At Palani Center For Dental Implants, we have completed extensive training in dental implants and all related procedures. Additionally, we are trained in state-of-the-art digital software and surgical technologies that help us provide incredibly precise and accurate treatment, with personalized and lasting results.





Determining Your Implant Candidacy


Determining if you qualify for dental implants requires a comprehensive evaluation and diagnostics from our implant dentist in Rancho Palos Verdes. We will evaluate the condition of your gums, bone and teeth. Dental and medical records are also needed to assess any systemic conditions or harmful lifestyle habits, such as smoking. In general, the following are factors that affect dental implant candidacy:


Dental implants need a healthy oral environment to remain successful long-term. If infection is present, this can damage both the gum tissues and bone. Active gum disease will require treatment before dental implants can be placed to avoid failure.
The health of your jawbone is crucial to dental implant success. Without proper density and volume, dental implants will not have proper support. Bone will need to be rebuilt and strengthened through bone grafting surgery.
Underlying medical conditions such as diabetes and immune system disorders make it more difficult for your body to heal after surgery. Systemic disease also increases the risk of infection after surgery. Having these conditions doesn’t mean we can’t offer you dental implants, it just means we may adjust your treatment plan to improve the chances of a successful outcome.
With proper maintenance, dental implants have the potential to last for the rest of your life. This includes maintaining excellent physical and oral health. If you smoke, consider quitting before your surgery and practice good daily oral hygiene habits.
