    Dr. Apel has been in practice in Melbourne since 1988. Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, he graduated from the University of Louisville’s School of Dental Medicine, a facility for training physicians and dentists. He maintained a successful private practice in Louisville for five years, but Florida’s pleasant climate and the promise of year-round outside activities brought the Apels to the sunshine state.

He also maintains ongoing professional relationships with recognized researchers and clinicians.

      The Mini Dental Implant Advantage

      Half The Size

      Mini Implants are about half the size of traditional implant, and therefore don’t require as much bone. With less bone needed, costly, painful and time-consuming bone grafts are typically not required.

      Significantly Less Expensive

      In most cases, the mini dental implant procedure is significantly less expensive than a traditional implant case, saving you money.

      Preserves Bone Structure

      Implants preserve your natural bone structure so you can maintain the shape of your face and avoid continued bone loss where teeth are missing.

      Immediate Results

      Because they are less invasive, and don’t require the lengthy healing time of traditional implants, they can typically be loaded with crowns, bridges and dentures immediately.

      Less Healing Time & Fewer Visits

      Because mini implants are much smaller, placing them is a less invasive procedure—requiring less healing time and discomfort, and fewer visits.

      No More Decay

      Mini implants are made out of titanium—the same type of material that is used on artificial joints, and they are not subject to decay or periodontal disease.
