Is Bone Grafting Required for Mini Dental Implants?

Think you need bone grafting for implants? Mini dental implants might be the answer. Discover a less invasive option in the video below.

One of the advantages of one-piece or mini dental implants is that they require less bone than conventional implants. I often have patients who believe they don’t have enough bone for implants or have been advised that extensive grafting is necessary. While grafting can be an important procedure in certain cases, there are many instances where sufficient bone is available for mini dental implants.

Often, patients are told they need grafting because their dentist is considering conventional dental implants, which require more bone. However, mini dental implants are designed to work with less bone, making them a viable option for many patients who might otherwise need grafting.

If you’ve been told that grafting is necessary, you might be pleasantly surprised to find that mini dental implants could provide a solution without the need for grafting. It’s worth exploring this option to see if it could work for you.
