What Are Mini Dental Implants?
Mini dental implants are made from the same high-quality materials as traditional dental implants but as their name suggests, they have a much smaller diameter so you might also hear these being called narrow body implants or small diameter implants.
Unlike single tooth implants, mini implants have a screw as opposed to a post and are screwed into the gum tissue and straight into the jawbone so there is no need for stitches during this process.
The actual design of the implant is slightly different as mini dental implants are a single unit compared to traditional dental implants that normally come in two pieces. The advantages and disadvantages of mini implants are described below.
Who Can Have Mini Dental Implants?
After natural teeth are removed, bone loss is a common problem as the jawbone quickly loses density and mass. It is also possible for the jawbone to deteriorate due to osteoporosis or simply as a natural part of ageing.
Placement of mini dental implants in NYC may also be a good solution for replacing incisors and where there is simply insufficient room to place a traditional sized dental implant.
Dental mini implants can be particularly useful for securing dentures. There is no evidence to suggest the success of this dental mini implant treatment is affected by age or gender.
What Is the Procedure for a Mini Dental Implant?
You will need a full consultation with Dr. Navid Rahmani to determine your suitability and to discuss this procedure in greater detail. If you decide to proceed, you will need a Cone Beam CT scan and digital dental x-rays.
