For many years, dentures had been a traditional way to replace missing teeth. However, many patients are not happy with their dentures or simply may not know about other options. 

One of the biggest disadvantages of dentures is they can be uncomfortable and slip out of place when speaking, eating, smiling, yawning or coughing. Additionally, missing teeth and dentures cause jawbone deterioration over time due to constant pressure from chewing food or clenching.

Are you missing one or more teeth and wondering what the right replacement option is for you? Have you heard of alternative options to standard implants?

I have placed dental implants since 1985 and many patients have asked me about mini dental implants and how they compare to normal-sized dental implants.

In this blog post, I will walk you through the difference between mini implants and standard dental implants and how to decide what is right for you.
