    Proto Mini Dental Implants are an option for patients who are looking to replace their lost teeth but who either don’t want or are not candidates for traditional implants. Many patients want to replace their missing teeth but do not want to undergo the invasive surgery that is required for regular implants. Other patients are not candidates for traditional implants because they lack the bone mass to support the implant.
