About the clinic
Mini dental implants at SoftDentalCare Clinic in Los Algodones, Mexico, provide a stable solution for patients with low bone density. This procedure is led by Dr. Mario A. Garibay, who brings over 25 years of experience in dentistry and specialized implant training. These implants offer a less invasive alternative to standard versions, often helping patients avoid bone grafting surgeries.
Treatment with Mini Implants
Mini implants are smaller in diameter and length than traditional implants. They are typically made from titanium or zirconia. Doctors use them mainly in the lower jaw or to secure full dentures. Because they are thin, these implants fit into narrow spaces where standard hardware cannot go. This approach is helpful for patients who have lost bone over time. The procedure often removes the need for bone augmentation, which shortens the overall treatment time.
The placement of a mini implant is relatively quick. Dr. Mario A. Garibay can complete the insertion in about 90 minutes. After the surgery, a healing period called osseointegration begins. This process takes between 2 and 3 months for the lower jaw. Healing in the upper jaw may take slightly longer. Once the site is stable, the doctor attaches a crown, bridge, or denture to the implant.
Expertise at SoftDentalCare
Dr. Mario A. Garibay leads the dental team at SoftDentalCare Clinic. He completed specialized training in dental implantology at Loma Linda University in 2005. With over 25 years of experience, he focuses on restorative and cosmetic dentistry. The clinic holds accreditation from the Asociación Dental Mexicana, which confirms it meets national quality standards. Located in Los Algodones near the US border, the facility regularly treats patients from the United States, Canada, and Latin America.
Procedure Steps and Care
- Consultation: The process starts with a full assessment using X-rays or CT scans to check bone health.
- Insertion: The doctor places the mini implant into the jawbone using minimally invasive methods.
- Healing: The bone grows around the implant for several months to create a solid base.
- Restoration: A custom dental piece is fixed to the implant to restore the smile.
To maintain the results, patients should follow a simple oral care routine. This includes regular brushing and flossing every day. Professional cleanings are recommended twice a year to keep the gums and implants healthy. If you are looking for a way to secure your dentures or replace missing teeth, you can request a consultation through Bookimed.

SoftDentalCare: Committed to Compassionate Dental Care
The SoftDentalCare team is dedicated to providing compassionate and respectful dental care to all patients. The medical team offers a comprehensive range of skilled dental services to address patients' oral health needs. In a judgment-free environment, they work together to determine the best treatment plan that aligns with patients' needs and preferences.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth directly to the jawbone. This technique is suitable for individuals missing one or multiple teeth. A titanium screw, resembling a tooth root, is inserted into the jawbone. This foundation supports a single natural-looking artificial tooth, a bridge, or a set of dentures, effectively replicating the function and appearance of missing teeth. Dental implants restore your ability to chew and smile with confidence.
Cosmetic Dentistry
If the patient is dissatisfied with the appearance of the teeth or has cracked, broken, or decayed teeth, cosmetic and restorative dentistry may be the right solution for the patient. Various dental procedures can transform patient's smile, giving the pearly whites the patient constantly desired and restoring confidence to chew and smile freely. SoftDentalCare in Los Algodones offers a range of affordable treatment options for patients with stained, crooked, cracked, or worn teeth.
General Dentistry
The foundation of excellent oral health begins with a thorough dental exam. Upon the patient's visit, the clinic's team will review their medical history and address any concerns regarding their teeth, mouth, or oral health. A comprehensive dental examination will be performed, and the health of the patient's gum tissue will be assessed. Additionally, X-rays will be taken, and, if necessary, panoramic X-rays will be obtained to visualize the patient's teeth below the gum line. Dr. Mario will discuss the diagnosis and potential treatment options, answering all questions and carefully considering the patient's needs and concerns. Together, the clinic's team and the patient will collaborate to determine the most suitable treatment plan.
Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry encompasses techniques that promote long-term oral health, preventing cavities, gum disease, and other forms of dental damage. Regular dental checkups and cleanings, the most common preventive dentistry practices, are cost-effective treatments that can prevent costly dental procedures in the future. Dr. Mario A. Garibay provides cleanings for patients seeking to maintain their teeth's cleanliness, strength, and brightness for years to come.

I have been coming to Dr. Mario for several years now. Mario is very friendly, easy to talk to and a good listener. I always felt like he has my best interest in mind. He is very knowledgeable and always available for my questions. I am very satisfied with his work and so is my dentist back home.

This is a modest office but don't let that scare you. It has all the necessary equipment and Dr. Garibay and his wife are both wonderful. I have been to Los Algodones at least 4 times and at first saw a higher priced dentist with a fancier office and paid for mini implants that failed within a few years. I was required to pay that dentist for regular implants recently developed for small jaws which were considerably more expensive. That is why I changed dentists. Dr. Garibay immediately noted that my jaw was very small and that I might have to return after healing to get the work finished so that the implants would not fail. The other dentist completely blamed me for the failure of my upper mini implants although I had followed every instruction he gave me. Obviously Dr. Garibay is the better dentist. He has very reasonable prices and I cannot thank he or his wife enough for the many extra kindnesses and help they provided.
