Mini Dental Implants in Fort Mill, SC

Looking for a quicker, less invasive solution to restore your smile? Mini dental implants at 803 Dental offer a streamlined way to replace missing teeth, especially if you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for traditional implants.

What Are Mini Dental Implants?

Mini dental implants are smaller, thinner versions of traditional implants, typically less than 3mm in diameter. They’re used to replace missing teeth or stabilize dentures in patients who have less jawbone density, without the need for bone grafting or extensive surgery.

Because of their size and design, mini implants can often be placed in a single visit and with less healing time. They’re a great option for patients looking for a cost-effective, minimally invasive solution for restoring their smile. At 803 Dental, we use mini implants to support crowns, bridges, or snap-in dentures, helping you chew, speak, and smile with comfort and confidence.

The Benefits of Mini Dental Implants

Less Invasive, Faster Recovery

Mini implants don’t require incisions, bone grafts, or months of healing like traditional implants. They’re placed using a minimally invasive procedure, often in just one visit, which means less discomfort and a quicker return to your daily routine. For many patients, this streamlined process is a game-changer.

Immediate Tooth Replacement

In many cases, mini implants can support a restoration—like a crown or denture—on the same day they’re placed. That means you can walk out of the office with a complete, functional smile without the typical waiting period. It’s a fast, effective way to regain confidence and function.

Affordable and Accessible

Because they require fewer materials and a simpler procedure, mini implants are often more affordable than full-sized implants. They also open the door for patients who’ve been told they don’t have enough bone for standard implants. No bone graft? No problem.

The Mini Implant Process

Step 1: Consultation and Planning

Dr. Xu will evaluate your oral health and bone density with digital X-rays or 3D imaging. Together, you’ll discuss your goals and determine whether mini implants are the right choice for your needs—especially if you’re looking for an alternative to dentures or bridges.

Step 2: Placement Procedure

During a quick and comfortable in-office visit, the mini implants are placed directly into your jawbone using a minimally invasive technique. No incisions or stitches are needed, and most patients require only local anesthesia.

Step 3: Immediate Restoration

In many cases, a crown or denture can be secured onto the implant on the same day. This means you leave with a restored smile right away—and can eat soft foods that evening. Over time, the mini implant fuses with the jaw for long-term support and reliability.
