Missing Tooth replaced with a Mini Dental Implant and Crown

This a part 2 of the missing lateral tooth post.  After orthodontics some patients have a space from a missing tooth.  My patient Zack was one of those.  His choices were:

Walk around with a plastic retainer with a denture tooth in it.  He would have to remove this retainer every time he wanted to eat or walk around with a gap between his front teeth.

So in one 30 minute appointment Zack had a mini dental implant placed.  A standard crown impression was taken and in 1 week First Impressions Dental Lab returned his final porcelain crown.

Mini dental implants are easy to place, easy to restore, cost effective and a painless way to replace a missing tooth or several missing teeth.

I think all dentists should get educated in placing mini implants.

There a several good courses that can provide this kind of training:

Mini Dental Implant Education CE Seminar with hands on training.
