“I was told I couldn’t get regular implants… then I heard about mini dental implants.”
If you’ve been told that traditional implants aren’t an option because of bone loss… or you’re just looking for a quicker, more affordable alternative to full-size implants, let us introduce you to a game-changer: mini dental implants.
Here at My Brand New Smile in Tewksbury, MA, we’ve helped countless patients restore their smiles using this smaller but mighty solution. And yes—they really work.
Let’s talk about what mini implants are, why they might be a perfect fit, and how they can bring your smile (and confidence) back—fast.
What Are Mini Dental Implants?
Mini dental implants are exactly what they sound like: smaller versions of traditional dental implants.
They’re made from the same strong titanium, but they’re about half the size. That makes them easier to place—especially for patients with thin jawbones or less bone density.
And unlike traditional implants, mini implants are often placed and restored in a single visit. That means you could walk in with missing teeth—and walk out smiling.
How Mini Implants Work
Mini dental implants have a screw-like base and a small ball at the top. That ball fits into a rubber O-ring inside your denture or crown. Snap it on—and your tooth is locked in place.
They’re ideal for:
- Securing lower dentures
- Supporting partials
- Replacing small teeth or front teeth
- Patients who want implants but can’t undergo extensive surgery or bone grafting
Why Patients in Tewksbury Are Choosing Mini Dental Implants
Let’s be real. Not everyone has the time, money, or bone structure for traditional implants. That’s where mini implants shine.
-
Less Invasive
The smaller size means no cutting, no stitches, and less downtime. In most cases, we use local anesthesia and place them in a single visit.
-
Faster Healing
Because the surgery is minimal, healing time is shorter. Many people go back to normal activities the next day.
-
More Affordable
Mini implants usually cost about half as much as traditional implants. That’s a big deal for patients who thought implants were out of reach.
-
Great for Denture Wearers
If your lower denture drives you crazy (moves, rubs, clicks), mini implants can lock it down—no more glue, no more fear of eating in public.
What to Expect at Our Tewksbury Office
Here’s how we do it at My Brand New Smile:
1. Free Consultation
We take a 3D scan of your jaw and see if you’re a good candidate. (Most people are!) No pressure, just info.
2. Placement Day
Dr. Elaine Wu places your mini implants—often in less than an hour. You’ll be awake, but totally comfortable.
3. Immediate Use
In many cases, your denture or temporary crown is snapped on right away. You leave with a secure smile that looks and feels great.
4. Long-Term Success
Over the next few weeks, your jaw naturally adapts around the implant, giving you stability that lasts for years.
Are Mini Implants Right for You?
You might be a good candidate if you:
- Wear a loose denture
- Have some jawbone loss
- Want a non-surgical or low-sedation option
- Are medically unable to undergo traditional implant surgery
- Want a faster or more affordable solution
Mini implants aren’t for everyone—we’ll go over all your options during your consult—but they’ve been a great solution for many of our Tewksbury patients.
