What Is a Mini Dental Implant?

In this video, Dr. Victor Apel, a renowned Melbourne implant dentist, explains miniature implant-retained dentures and how they are used to treat a variety of cosmetic dentistry cases.

A mini dental implant is a smaller implant, usually less than 3 mm in diameter. This allows us to place an implant in a smaller area of bone and help to provide a service of replacing a tooth, teeth, or stabilizing dentures for individuals. If you think you’re a candidate or have one of those issues, give us a call for a free consultation, and we’ll see what your options are so we can help you be you again.

Apel at Designing Smiles Dentistry in Melbourne, FL, to learn how life-changing treatments like mini dental implants can enhance your smile, improve your function, and restore your self-confidence.
