Mini Dental Implants in New York, NY

Mini dental implants are made from the same high-quality materials as traditional dental implants, but as their name suggests, they have a much smaller diameter, so you might also hear these being called narrow-body implants or small diameter implants. Unlike single tooth implants, mini implants have a screw instead of a post and are screwed into the gum tissue and straight into the jawbone, so there is no need for stitches during this process. The actual design of the implant is slightly different as mini dental implants are a single unit compared to traditional dental implants that generally come in two pieces. The advantages and disadvantages of mini implants are described below.
