Don't Believe It

I constantly see an ad on TV for Mini- Implants. The dentist says that Mini-Implants are really good and are much cheaper.

Wrong and wrong.

Ask a surgeon who has to take out mini-implants due to infection. The mini implant does NOT integrate into the bone like regular implants. What does that mean? It means that the bone does not grow around and attach to the bone. And what does that mean? It is much easier to lose an implant. Do mini-implants have a place in dentistry? Sure in an 80 year old man who can't eat with his dentures....Go for it.
