Suamico Dental Implant Center
The older conventional implants have multiple parts - a screw is used to attach the abutment to the implant. One-piece implants on the other hand are exactly what they sound like: the implant and the abutment (the part that connects to the crown) are a single solid unit of titanium. This eliminates the need for multiple components—and with fewer parts, there are fewer problems. This streamlined structure simplifies the implant process and offers numerous advantages.
Benefits at a Glance:
No screw connections = No weak points
Reduced risk of infection and failure
Faster healing and fewer appointments
Ideal for patients with limited bone volume
Lower overall cost compared to traditional systems
Here you can see the multiple parts in the two piece system. This older design has many drawbacks that make the one piece a more ideal solution.
Mini dental implants are smaller in diameter than conventional implants—usually under 3mm—but don't let the size fool you. They're incredibly strong and often used to stabilize dentures or replace missing teeth. They can be ideal for patients with limited bone density or those seeking a less invasive procedure. The minimally invasive nature of mini implant placement results in reduced discomfort and a quicker return to normal activities. If you are looking for small dental implants that offer great stability, minis are a fantastic option.
Quick, minimally invasive placement
No sutures, no incisions—just a small pilot hole
Immediate loading in many cases
Ideal for tight spaces and lower bone volume
Who It's For:
Perfect for denture wearers, older adults, or patients who’ve been told they don’t qualify for implants due to bone loss.
Mono implants are made from high-strength titanium alloy and are designed for immediate loading—meaning you can often walk out with new teeth the same day. These implants are placed into the cortical (dense) bone, which provides excellent stability even in cases where bone volume is reduced.
Immediate function (eat and smile faster)
No bone grafting needed in most cases
Lower chance of implant mobility or failure
Great for full-arch restorations (like All-on-4 alternatives)
One piece implants are suitable for a variety of patients. Using both mini implants and mono implants gives us the ability to handle any clinical situation. However, determining your suitability for one-piece implants requires a thorough consultation so we can assess your individual needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
"The one-piece implant procedure typically involves:
Consultation and Treatment Planning:A detailed assessment to determine the best approach.
Implant Placement: The implant is carefully placed into the jawbone.
Healing Process: Varies depending on the situation.
Restoration Placement: The final restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) is attached.
The minimally invasive nature of mini and mono implant procedures ensures a smoother and more comfortable experience.
The cost of one piece dental implants varies depending on factors such as the number of implants required, the type of restoration, and individual patient needs. To obtain a personalized cost estimate, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. We are committed to providing affordable dental implants to our patients.

✅ Experienced surgical team
✅ Honest, transparent pricing
✅ Same-day treatment options
✅ High success rates—even in complex cases
It has multiple parts making the whole method more complicated
It has a screw which can break, and now you've got a broken screw stuck way down in the implant
There is a seam between the implant and the abutment which holds bacteria and makes it more prone to gum disease
The two parts flex during function which allows more ingress of bacteria into the seam, and creates structural problems
Because of the screw and design, they need to be wider diameter which means they often require bone graft surgery to widen the jaw bone before they can be placed.
A large hole needs to be bored into the jawbone
Often the gum tissues need to be flapped open for implant placement
The implant often needs to be submerged to heal under the gums for 4 months, and then requires the gums to be cut open to expose the implant later
The cost for the implants is high, as well as the associated lab costs
When they are used for denture replacement as with the "all-on-4" procedure, large amounts of bone must be removed.
Two-piece implants had their day—but like floppy disks and fax machines, they’re becoming obsolete. With advancements in materials and surgical protocols, one-piece systems are leading the charge into the future of implant dentistry.
Half the cost of conventional implants
Can be placed in most areas without bone grafting or surgery
Less invasive: We drill a small hole and thread them in
No extended healing time
No bone removal needed
Simpler and faster
No gum surgery needed
Reduced Surgical Time
Faster Healing and Recovery:
Lower Risk of Complications:
The integrated structure reduces the potential for issues associated with multiple components.
Simplified Restoration Process:
Streamlined procedures result in a more efficient restoration.
The single piece design decreases the possibility of micro-movements, which increases implant longevity.
Cost-effectiveness:
💥 Reality: With mono and mini implants, most patients don’t need bone grafting at all. These implants are designed to work with
limited bone volume, saving you time, money, and surgery.
💥 Reality: Modern mini implants are made from aerospace-grade titanium alloys. They’re small—but mighty. When placed correctly, they last years, even decades.
💥 Reality: One-piece systems actually eliminate the weak point where most two-piece implants fail: the screw connection. Less hardware = fewer problems.
💥 Reality: Mono and mini implants are often placed and loaded the same day. That means eating, smiling, and living life immediately
