Comfortable, Quick, and Convenient Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, and for good reason. But not everyone has the necessary bone density to qualify for standard dental implants. Dr. Brace and the team at St. Louis County Dental have the perfect solution to make sure all our patients get the care they need.
Mini dental implants have the same structure as regular implants, the only difference being their size. Unlike conventional implants, they consist of a one-piece titanium screw that’s less than 3mm in diameter and includes a ball-shaped end that protrudes from the jawbone. Mini implants are a simple process with a faster recovery time, allowing patients to enjoy their new smiles faster.
The Benefits of Mini Implants
Because they’re much smaller, mini dental implants don’t require nearly as much bone density as traditional implants. For this reason, mini dental implants are an effective alternative for patients who don’t qualify for standard dental implants.
Other advantages of mini dental implants include:
- Cost-effective
- Reduced recovery time
- Same-day placement is often an option
- No dietary restrictions
- No slippage
- Easy speech
- Eliminates the need for bone grafting
- Transform Your Existing Dentures

Frequently Asked Questions
Will insurance cover my mini dental implants?
We understand the hesitation a patient may feel when committing to a dental implant treatment because of the cost. But we also believe that every patient deserves access to the treatments they need for a healthy smile. Visit our financing page to learn more.
What can I eat after mini dental implant placement?
We recommend that you stick to soft foods until your dental implant is healed. This includes foods like mashed potatoes, soup, smoothies, and yogurt. Eating foods that require chewing can hinder the healing process and cause complications.
Is the mini dental implant process painful?
At St. Louis County Dental, we do our best to make you as comfortable as possible during the entire dental implant process. To ensure you don’t feel any pain during the procedure, we’ll provide you with an anesthetic.
You may experience mild soreness after the procedure, but you can relieve any pain with over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses.
