SMALLER IMPLANTS, BIG RESULTS

They are not possible for everyone, though, given that they require a certain level of bone mass in the jawbone in order for the carefully designed three-part system to be effective. In some cases, either due to bone loss or otherwise compromised oral or general health, dental implants may not be feasible. However, in some cases, mini dental implants can provide a sound alternative to traditional dental implants.

Words cannot express enough, how wonderful, caring and professional Dr. Haigney and his staff are! After being rushed to the Huntersville hospital with an orbital fracture, broken nose and other facial damage, Dr. Haigney rushed me into surgery (on his day off I must add) and corrected all my problems. I only wish all doctors cared as much about their patients and their recovery as Dr. Haigney and his staff did. Thank you so much for everything! Your attention and compassion has helped me make my recovery as comfortable as possible. 5 star service!
