Dental implants typically come in different sizes, heights, and types to accommodate patients with varying dental needs. Short dental implants are usually defined as implants with a length of 10 mm or less. Wide dental implants are usually defined as implants with a diameter of at least 5 mm. Short and wide dental implants are very useful with immediate dental implant therapy or in cases where you need to avoid a nerve or sinus. If you need dental implants, the staff at Sarasota Dentistry can perform an evaluation and recommend the best implant size and height for you.
