Mini Implants

Riverwalk Dental offers many methods of dental restoration including mini implants.  Mini implants are about half the diameter of a traditional implant, and are relatively new to dentistry.  These new implants are important because their small size makes it possible for patients who were previously not able to receive implants in narrow places to have a fully restored tooth. 


Another common use for mini implants is the anchor a full upper or lower denture.  Between four and six mini implants are placed along the jaw bone.  The small size of these implants means they can typically be placed right through the gums into the jaw bone without an incision. No incision means no stitches, which shortens the recovery period. The restoration or denture can usually be placed a short time after, eliminating the often months-long process of waiting for the jaw bone to fuse around an implant.  Mini implants are also less expensive than regular implants.  Come see one of our dentists to find out if a mini implant is a good solution for you.
