James A. Vito, DMD, is a dentist in Wayne, Pennsylvania, who concentrates on periodontics and implant dentistry. As an implant dentist, James A. Vito, DMD, can offer his patients a variety of procedures, including mini implants.
While many have heard of dental implants, mini implants are something of a best-kept secret. Mini implants are gentle, simple and do not require surgery. Being just half the width of a normal implant, mini implants are not fully submerged into the gum. For those who wear dentures, two to four tiny steel posts are installed and the dentures snap right over them. This simple procedure makes mini implants ideal for many denture wearers or those missing a tooth in a narrow space. Patients who could consider mini implants are those who have experienced bone loss or who need a less-expensive option than traditional implants. Mini implants are a fraction of the cost of full implants. Unfortunately, many insurance carriers still do not cover mini implant procedures. Therefore, it’s best to consult with a dentist to get the best recommendation for a particular situation.
Dental implant procedures have the potential to change patients’ lives. Many report higher levels of confidence and more reasons to smile after having such work done.
