About mini dental implants

As you can probably guess from the name, mini dental implants are smaller versions of traditional implants. They are smaller in stature and this makes them easier to tolerate. Mini implants are often recommended for patients who have issues with traditional dental implants because of a lack of dense bone tissue in the jaw. If the jaw lacks density, the implant may fail as it may not be able to integrate fully. With mini implants, the chance of failure is much lower.

Mini dental implants are most commonly used to anchor a denture and they offer a host of benefits for patients, especially those who have had problems with traditional dentures in the past.

The benefits of mini implants

Mini dental implants offer much greater stability than a traditional denture, as the denture is supported by the implants, rather than the suction of the gums. Implants also increase the power of the denture, allowing you to enjoy the same level of functionality as natural teeth. Your smile will also look incredible and the implants will also have a positive effect on the overall look of your face, as they will provide additional support for the cheeks, creating a more youthful look.

The procedure for mini implants is quicker and less invasive than traditional dentures and you can enjoy the results faster. Implants are also easy to care for.

What does the placement procedure involve?

Placement of the mini dental implants usually only involves one session and we are able to offer light sedation or local anaesthetic to ensure that you feel comfortable and don’t experience any pain. We use a very precise surgical technique to place the implants, leaving the head of the implant exposed through the gum. Once the implants are in place, the denture is then secured onto the head of the implants.
