Who is a Good Candidate for Mini Dental Implants?

In this video, Dr. John Coolican, an experienced Wilkes-Barre implant dentist, illustrates the qualities that determine if a patient would be an ideal recipient for mini dental implants.

A good candidate for mini dental implants typically include individuals who have or may not have bone density for the old fashioned style implant or prefer an immediate result less invasiveness, less cost, less visits to the dentist, and much less healing time. It may be the best solution when a patient is told they need bone grafting before having that old style conventional implant, it should be considered the first choice often in medically compromised individuals due to its minimal invasiveness. It is best to consult your mini dental implant professional to determine if the mini dental implant is suitable for your specific situation.
