A mini dental implant is a smaller version of a traditional implant. While traditional implants have a diameter of 3mm or larger, mini implants are 3mm or smaller, making them a less invasive alternative for tooth replacement and denture stabilization.
One of the key advantages of mini implants is their minimally invasive placement, which typically results in faster healing, less postoperative discomfort, and a quicker recovery. Additionally, mini implants are more cost-effective than traditional implants, as their placement procedure is simpler and requires fewer components.
Unlike traditional implants, which often involve two separate pieces (the implant post and the abutment), mini implants are often a single-piece design, reducing complexity while still providing strong, reliable support for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This makes them an efficient, affordable, and effective solution for many patients.
