Low Occlusion: Is it possible to get mini dental implants?

Last Updated: Nov 25, 2014

Is it possible to replace two missing lower jaw teeth – second premolar and first molar, with mini dental implants if the dentist told me that I have low occlusion? I have enough bone for mini implants but because of a low bite and since I am not willing to make any radical procedures to raise it I refused the idea of putting regular implants. Can I use mini implants either for two single teeth restorations if I have a low occlusion or just for bone health to prevent bone atrophy (wearing dentures for 2 teeth on the top)? My bone quality is quite good. Also what about positive cases, 5 years and more of successful single tooth replacing with mini implants,that can be read about? By the way what about my second question when I ask if it is possible to insert mini implants into the gum and bone just to prevent bone atrophy without any crown part? Is it a solution for bone atrophy prevention?

Mini implants are associated with many complications and they are not recommended for routine use. Conventional implants are indicated and are the only viable choice for long term success. Dr. Kazemi

Conventional implants are designed to replace those teeth that have considerable masticatory load...
