Less pain, less invasive, less time, less cost, less healing time, less complicated. These are the hallmarks of mini dental implants.
Unfortunately, less knowledge is associated with mini implants: Less knowledge of what a mini implant is and how they are used.
Mini implants are a smaller implant made of the same material as standard dental implants, but placed with a more conservative and less complicated process. Their success rate, when properly planned and placed, equals that of standard implants. However, a specific technique must be followed to make mini implants so much more useful and successful.
The Fabricated Implant Restorative and Surgical Technique (FIRST) system for mini implants developed by Dr. Todd Shatkin makes it possible to place implants in situations that are not candidates for conventional standard implants. After almost three years of placing and restoring mini implants using this technique, I have witnessed many “hopeless” situations and desperate patients walk out of the office with successfully restored smiles and function, thanks to mini implants.
After placing standard implants with the conventional techniques, I am daily amazed with the results of this simplified, less painful and less costly mini implant process. I stress the FIRST system patented by Dr. Todd Shatkin because a specific technique must be followed to make mini implants so much more useful and successful.
