Dental implants replace missing teeth in patients who want to restore their smile. Here in our practice, we offer traditional and mini implants. We also offer SnapTite mini implant dentures. Mini implants are great because they are about half the size of traditional implants, making them easier to implant in the bone and requiring less jawbone. This decreases the need for bone grafting and can be done much quicker than with other dental implants.
Benefits for getting mini implants performed in our Pittsburgh, PA Northland Dental Implant office include the following:
- Less chance of requiring a bone graft.
- Minimally invasive procedure.
- There is less downtime after the procedure.
- Healing is faster and more comfortable.
- The mini implant is less expensive.
With proper care and maintenance of the implant, our patients can have their mini implant for a lifetime! Some patients do need to have the crown at the top of the implant replaced, but the metal post itself is permanent as their jawbone has grown around it. We offer both types of implants here in our practice, giving our patients the option of the mini implants if they choose it.
Schedule a consultation with Dr. Michael Corsello at 412-367-7400 to discuss your implants options further or request an appointment online.
