1. LESS EXPENSIVEIn many cases, mini implants cost around half the cost of traditional or conventional implants.2. LESS INVASIVEBecause the mini implant requires only a small pilot hole to be placed, it is less traumatic to the bone and soft tissue; as compared to a traditional conventional implant that usually involves extensive surgery and bone grafts.3. LESS HEALING TIMEBecause placing the smaller diameter mini implant does not cause as much trauma to the bone and soft tissue in the mouth, your healing time is reduced from months to days.4. LESS DISCOMFORTLess trauma to the gums, bone and underlying tissue means less discomfort. Many patients need only over the counter pain medication for a day or so after the procedure.5. LESS RESTORATIVE TIMEIn many cases, the mini implant can be loaded immediately after placement. This means that most procedures, including anchoring dentures can be done in one visit.6. LESS BONE LOSSA mini dental implant preserves the bone so that you can preserve the shape of your face.7. LESS BONE REQUIREDMini implants require less bone so you’re less likely to need additional costly bone grafts.

Peer Reviewed Article:How Successful are Small Diameter Implants:A Literature Review 2012Dr.Keyvan Sohrabi, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA, Clin. Oral Impl. Res. 0, 2012 / 1–11 Conclusion:Survival rates reported for SDI are SIMILAR to those reported for STANDARD width implants. SDIs could be considered for use with FIXED restorations and mandibular overdentures, since their SUCCESS RATE appears to be COMPARABLE to that of regular diameter implants. They might also be an efficient, low-cost solution for elders who wish to reduce problems with denture instability.

Mini Dental Implants

Tired of wearing dentures? Are you tired of struggling with loose dentures? With mini dental implants, we can stabilize your dentures; and with support that they provide, we can remove all or part of the palatal portion of your upper denture. If you are not comfortable with removable dentures, mini dental implants can be used to anchor cemented crowns and bridges, giving you a second chance at “real” teeth. Losing teeth results in many problems with chewing, speaking, and smiling, but did you know that it can also cause loss of bone? This bone loss can affect your facial appearance as well. Placing mini dental implants helps preserve the bone and prevents the ravaging effects of bone loss on your appearance and function. Perhaps the greatest news is that you don’t have to wait for months, or in some cases... years, to enjoy your mini dental implant supported restorations. Usually, you can use the implants the day they are placed!

The ‘Mini’ Implant Has ArrivedDr. Gordon J. Christensen JADA , Vol. 137March 2006“In my opinion, I find more indications for narrow-diameter implants (≈ 1.8 mm) than for standard-diameter implants (≈ 3.75 mm).
