Mini Dental Implant
Mini dental implants are slender implants that can be used instead of bone addition procedures when the jawbone is narrow due to resorption.
The difference compared to standard implants is their compact size. Mini implants are typically inserted in the front of the jaw with minimal procedures that take no longer than 15 minutes.
Because mini dental implants are approximately 50 percent smaller than conventional dental implants, the placement procedure for these implants is less invasive.
When Are Mini Implants Preferred?
If the expense of the bone graft procedure needed for traditional implant placement is avoided...
If the diameter of the jaw bone does not permit the placement of standard implants...
In cases where the surgical trauma of bone graft applications required for standard implant placement is avoided...
When older patients are requested to undergo surgical implant placement...
Enhancing the longevity of the prosthesis is often recommended for individuals with significant bone loss when using total prostheses.
