Our experienced team can determine if you’re a good candidate for mini dental implants in Zanesville. If you are, you can look forward to all these benefits and more:

  • A beautiful smile that you’ll love showing off
  • Greater confidence when mingling and socializing

Mini Implants Can Give You a New & Improved Smile

Mini dental implants can work for you even if you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for standard implants. Our experienced team can determine if mini implants are the right solution for your unique dental situation. You may be a ideal candidate for mini implants if:

  • You want to secure loose dentures without messy adhesives.
  • You’re looking for a more affordable implant option.
  • You have limited jawbone density and want to avoid bone grafting.
  • You prefer a less invasive procedure with faster recovery.
  • You have certain health conditions that make extensive surgery risky.
  • You’re interested in completing your implant treatment in fewer visits.

These smaller dental implants work particularly well for stabilizing lower dentures, which typically cause the most problems with slipping and discomfort. They can also replace small teeth in narrow spaces where traditional implants might not fit.

Mini dental implant treatment is minimally invasive and often requires no sutures. Most patients report minimal discomfort afterward.

During your consultation, Dr. Hawkins will perform a thorough examination that includes digital X-rays to evaluate your oral health and jawbone structure. This comprehensive assessment helps determine if mini implants are truly the best option for your specific needs.

Common Questions About Being a Good Candidate for Mini Dental Implants
How do you determine if traditional or mini implants are better for me?

Dr. Hawkins will evaluate several factors: your jawbone density, the location of missing teeth, your bite force, budget considerations, and your overall health status. A thorough examination with digital X-rays helps determine the most appropriate option for your specific situation.

Can I get mini dental implants if I have diabetes or other health conditions?

Many patients with controlled health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or those taking blood thinners can safely receive mini dental implants. The procedure is less invasive with reduced healing time, making it safer for medically compromised patients. We will review your complete health history to ensure your safety.

I’ve worn dentures for many years. Can mini implants still help me?

Absolutely! Long-term denture wearers often benefit most from mini dental implants. Even with significant bone loss from years of wearing dentures, mini implants can usually be placed successfully. They immediately stabilize loose dentures, restoring confidence and improving chewing function dramatically.
