What Is a Mini Dental Implant?
Mini dental implants are the new gold standard for a variety of oral applications, from replacing missing teeth to supporting dentures. In this video, Dr. Vahid Bashi discusses their advantages and uses.
The primary distinction between a mini dental implant and a traditional dental implant lies in their shape and size. Traditional implants resemble the screws you might find at a hardware store like Home Depot, with a bulky design that requires a significant amount of bone for placement. These implants are threaded directly into the bone, necessitating a larger bone area for successful installation.
On the other hand, mini dental implants are designed for situations where bone deterioration has occurred, leaving insufficient bone to support a traditional implant. Despite their smaller size, mini dental implants fulfill the same purpose: providing a stable anchor for replacing missing teeth or securing dentures. However, their compact design allows them to be used in areas where traditional implants cannot, making them a versatile solution for various dental restoration needs.
If you’re considering dental implants and wondering which type might be suitable for you, the best approach is to schedule a free consultation and scan. During this consultation, we can discuss all available options, allowing you to make an informed decision based on your specific dental situation.
