Mini dental implants work well for the lower front teeth because these teeh have very narrow roots and if the dentist squeezes two regular size implants instead, it can result in bone loss around the implants. You still should consult your local dentist for recommendations that are applicable to your particular case. Mini implants are very successful when done properly and for the right applications, but you still need to take care of them and they can be affected by gum disease just like your regular teeth. Since the costs associated with mini implants vary and involve the restoration with crowns also, you need to as your dentist about the specific costs involved. Good luck! Carlos A.
