Mini Implants

Mini Implants

Mini implants are a type of dental implant that helps patients replace missing teeth. Here at Orland Dental Wellness Center, we offer mini and traditional implants. Both versions are completed by Dr. Wook Kim, who implants a titanium post into the jaw bone of the missing tooth, with a permanent crown placed over the top of the implant. With mini dental implants, the post is about half the size, so much less bone is needed. They work on patients with minimal bone left in the jaw, and is great for those that don’t want to wait months before getting the crown fitted.

The benefits of getting mini dental implants include those that are related to implants in general, and the mini version. They include the following:

• They require less bone and can be done during a single visit.


• They allow patients to continue eating like normal.


• Mini dental implants are as permanent as traditional.


• They have the same stability as traditional implants.


• The healing time for mini implants is shorter.

Mini implants are done in one visit and provide a permanent solution to missing teeth. They should be cared for like other teeth, including brushing them daily. To find out more about the mini implant procedure, call our Orland, IL office at (708) 460-6666.
