Looking for a quicker, more affordable alternative to traditional dental implants? Mini dental implants offer a minimally invasive, cost-effective solution for replacing missing teeth or stabilizing dentures—without the need for complex surgery.
At Laguna Heights Dental in Laguna Niguel, CA, Dr. Nazita Gaff specializes in mini dental implants, providing patients with a secure, long-lasting solution that requires less recovery time and lower costs than standard implants.
What Are Mini Dental Implants?
Mini dental implants are smaller, thinner versions of traditional implants that provide permanent support for crowns, bridges, or dentures. They are ideal for patients who:
✔ Want a quicker, less invasive procedure
✔ Have limited jawbone density (and want to avoid bone grafting)
✔ Need to stabilize loose dentures
✔ Want an affordable alternative to traditional implants
With mini dental implants, you can enjoy a fully restored smile with less downtime and fewer complications.
Why Choose Mini Dental Implants?
✔ Minimally Invasive Procedure – Less pain, swelling, and discomfort.
✔ Faster Healing Time – Most patients recover within 24–48 hours.
✔ Affordable Alternative – Costs 30–50% less than traditional implants.
✔ Immediate Results – Mini implants can often be loaded with crowns or dentures the same day.
✔ No Bone Grafting Required – Great for patients with low jawbone density.
✔ Denture Stability – Prevents slipping, clicking, and adhesives for a more comfortable fit.
If you’ve been told you don’t qualify for traditional implants, mini implants might be the perfect solution!
How the Mini Dental Implant Procedure Works
Step 1: Consultation & 3D Imaging
Dr. Gaff will evaluate your jawbone health and determine if mini implants are the right choice for you.
Step 2: Implant Placement (Minimally Invasive Surgery)
The mini implants are placed quickly and comfortably in a single appointment, using a minimally invasive technique that requires no stitches.
Step 3: Immediate Tooth or Denture Attachment
In many cases, a crown, bridge, or denture can be attached immediately, so you leave the office with a fully functional smile the same day.
Step 4: Quick Recovery & Long-Term Success
Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours and experience minimal discomfort. With proper care, mini implants can last 10–20 years or more.
