Mini Implants
Mini implants, also known as small-diameter implants (SDIs) or narrow-diameter implants (NDIs), are smaller in diameter compared to traditional dental implants. They are used for various dental applications, including the stabilization of dentures, replacing small teeth, and in situations where space or bone volume is limited.
About Mini implants
Technique
- Initial Assessment: The dental professional begins with an initial assessment to evaluate the patient’s oral health, the specific need for tooth replacement or stabilization, and bone density in the jaw.
- Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, a personalized treatment plan is developed. This plan outlines the steps for placing the mini dental implants.
- Mini Implant Placement: Mini dental implants are smaller in diameter than traditional implants, typically ranging from 1.8mm to 3.3mm. They are surgically placed directly into the jawbone without the need for extensive drilling or bone grafting in many cases.
- Restoration Attachment: Once the mini implants are securely placed, they can be used to support various types of restorations, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. The restorations are customized to match the patient’s natural teeth in appearance and function.
Benefits
- Minimally Invasive: The placement of mini dental implants is often less invasive, resulting in shorter recovery times and less discomfort.
- Cost-Effective: Mini implants are generally more cost-effective than traditional implants, making them a budget-friendly option for many patients.
- Versatility: Mini implants can be used to stabilize dentures, anchor single crowns, or support small bridges.
- Quick Solution: Mini implants can often be placed and restored in a single visit, allowing patients to enjoy the benefits of their new teeth quickly.
- Less Bone Required: Mini implants can often be placed in areas with reduced bone volume, reducing the need for bone grafting in some cases.
