Whether you want dentures that finally stay in place or you’re looking for a minimally invasive alternative to traditional implants, mini dental implants offer a proven, long-lasting solution designed around your comfort and goals.

Benefits of Mini Dental Implants

Dental implants are the closest possible replacement to natural teeth, giving you strength, stability and aesthetics that other options can’t match.

A More Comfortable, Less-Invasive Treatment

Mini implants are smaller in size, which means the placement procedure is gentler. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and a much shorter healing period.

More Affordable Than Standard Implants

Mini implants typically cost less, making them a great option for patients who need reliable tooth replacement without the higher cost of full-sized implants.

Faster Results, Sometimes the Same Day

In many cases, Dr. Kim can place the mini implants and secure your dentures in a single visit. You get a stable, functional smile right away.

Denture Stability You Can Trust

Implant-retained dentures feel closer to natural teeth, allowing you to eat, chew and speak confidently without worrying about slipping or shifting.

Helps Preserve Your Facial Structure

Like traditional implants, mini implants stimulate the jawbone and help reduce bone loss, which protects your facial shape over time.

What makes a good candidate?

You may be an excellent candidate for mini dental implants if you:

    • Struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures

    • Want a more affordable implant option

    • Prefer a less-invasive treatment

    • Have insufficient bone for standard implants

    • Want faster results without lengthy healing

    • Need a stable solution for long-term comfort and function

Dr. Kim evaluates your needs, bone structure and goals to recommend the best treatment plan for your smile.

What Our Patients Say About Us

"Couldn’t recommend this place enough"

I’ve been coming here the past 6 years give or take and always have such a pleasant experience! It’s great to know that current practices and techniques are constantly being refined, instead of just adhering to the norm and being stuck in the past. They recently fit me for a night guard and used new technology to get a “mold” for me without having to physically put my teeth against a material. Smooth, seamless, and right out the door! Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

"The best dental experience I’ve had to date!"

The best dental experience I’ve had to date! Dr. Kim was fast, efficient, kind, and did excellent work. His dental hygienist had the most calming presence and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. After not being in a dental chair for years I was anxious going in, but my experience went so well, any fears I had completely disappeared. I’m so grateful to Dr. Kim and his amazing staff. I plan on staying with Enhance Dentist.
