Conventional Implants vs Mini Dental Implants
Explore the benefits of mini dental implants with Vahid Bashi, DDS, and how they offer a less invasive solution for tooth replacement in this educational video.
Mini dental implants and conventional dental implants differ in several key aspects, though both are made from titanium, a material commonly used in various surgical procedures for replacing knees, joints, shoulders, and more. The primary distinction lies in their size; mini dental implants have a smaller diameter compared to traditional dental implants, which resemble the thick screws you might find at a hardware store like Home Depot. This smaller size means mini implants require less bone to secure them, making them an ideal solution in scenarios where teeth have been missing for a long time or in older individuals who have experienced bone and gum tissue loss. Consequently, mini dental implants can offer the same benefits as traditional implants without the need for bone grafts or additional surgeries.
Another significant difference is in their construction. Conventional dental implants consist of multiple parts, each incurring additional costs. In contrast, mini implants are a single piece, eliminating the need for extra components. This simplicity not only reduces the overall cost—making mini implants about half as expensive as their traditional counterparts—but also decreases the potential for complications associated with multiple parts. Fewer parts mean fewer chances of failure, leading to easier and faster surgeries, less post-operative pain, and lower costs due to the absence of extra components.
For those considering dental implants, mini dental implants offer a cost-effective, less invasive alternative, especially in cases where bone availability is limited.
