How Are Mini Dental Implants Different from Traditional Ones?
Mini and standard dental implants are different in the following aspects:
Size: The main difference between these implants is their size. Traditional dental implants are larger and longer, while mini dental implants are smaller in diameter and shorter. Mini implants are typically used when there is not enough space for a traditional implant.
Placement: Because of their smaller size, mini dental implants can often be placed in a single appointment without requiring extensive surgery or bone grafting. Traditional implants, on the other hand, may require several appointments and more invasive surgery.
Stability: While both types of implants provide stability and support for replacement teeth, traditional implants typically offer higher stability due to their larger size and greater surface area. However, mini dental implants can still provide excellent stability in some instances.
Cost: Mini dental implants are generally less expensive than traditional implants due to their smaller size and simpler placement process. However, the price of each type of implant can vary depending on the individual case and the location of the dental practice.
Scheduling a consultation with our dental professional is necessary to determine the most suitable type of implant for each patient.
