What Is a Mini Dental Implant?

In this video, Dr. Albert Hazzouri Jr. explains what makes mini dental implants different from traditional implant options.

A mini dental implant is a smaller, one-piece version of a traditional implant designed for less invasive placement. Because of its narrow diameter, it can often be placed in areas with limited bone, eliminating the need for bone grafting in many cases. This makes it a practical option for patients who have been told they are not candidates for conventional implants. The simplified design also allows for faster placement and, in many cases, immediate function. If you are looking for a more efficient and cost-conscious solution, a free consultation will determine if mini implants are the right fit for your situation.

If you or someone you love is struggling with missing teeth or loose dentures, contact Dr. Albert Hazzouri Jr. at the Mini Dental Implant Centers of America in Scranton, PA, for a free consultation to learn how our dental implant treatments can enhance your smile, improve your function, and restore your self-confidence.

Kind, caring, compassionate & very professional. I am a USAF Veteran that had a bad experience at the VA. This team is beyond amazing. When I’m done I’ll no longer be toothless after 2 years. Thank you so much. You’re greatly appreciated.

Dr. Hazzouri is a great guy and he’s cool as a fan. But that has nothing to do with him as a dentist. As a doctor, he is a wizkid. I sat there waiting one day for like 20 minutes and then went in the back for 10 minutes; I exited the chair with my smile back. He gave me my smile back in 10 minutes. He’s SUPER FAST! He’s precise and talented too! His office is always buzzing with life and happy customers. This rating does not accurately reflect the vibes that I’ve seen in his office. If you hate sitting in dentist chairs for long periods, then go see him!

My husband and I love Dr Hazzouri and his staff. They are always so personable, kind and caring. If you have an emergency, they will fit you in immediately. They go above and beyond to fit your schedule. I enjoy my time with Dr Hazzouri because he is so personable and can give you a good laugh. I never feel like just another patient. He takes time to get to know you as a person. I recommend everyone to go to him.

They do good work. They try to accommodate they days and times your available. They also are pretty quick with the work they do and do it well. One time I had a root canal done and it popped out maybe once or twice don’t remember but he had put a different cement bond on it and since than no more issues. The office staff is nice and it’s very clean. The hygenist is wonderful. Some of the complaints about Hazzori is totally wrong he is one of the best adult dentist. Years ago I had silver fillings he replaced them with white ones which is awesome. I was just there and have one filling that grounded down he is gonna fix and a silver one from when I was younger that had particles that are coming out from wear he is fixing November 6 th. I can’t speak highly enough.

Dr Hazzouri is without a doubt an excellent dentist. He has always been honest and compassionate. I have been a patient for a few years now at his office and have seen some of the other dentist's as well and can say they are equally as great! I would never go anywhere else. Dr Hazzouri and staff have always made sure im okay and explained everything to me as I suffer from a horrible fear of dental work. I used to be embarrassed about my teeth but since being treated here, I can honestly say I feel so much better about my teeth. They do exceptional work. In the event of a dental emergency they work to get you in immediately! I could go on and on but you get the point 😁
