Mini Dental Implants

Mini Dental Implants Upper West SideMini dental implants are tiny screws (1.8mm in diameter) which are very easy to place with minimal level of discomfort. They are a modern twist on traditional dental implants. Mini dental implants serve as anchors allowing for tooth movements which previously could not be achieved easily or achieved at all.  Because of this possibility several treatment modalities which have been widely used before requiring high degree of compliance by patients have been replaced.  For example, wearing of the night braces, and in some cases wearing jaw to jaw elastic bands can be eliminated if doctor is utilizing mini-implants as anchors. Dr. Olga Bukholts, DDS of Perfect Smiles Orthodontics, located on NYC’s Upper West Side, has taken multiple specialized coursed to become proficient in using this wonderful contemporary accessory.
