How Do Mini Implants Go in Orthodontics?

You may have heard of dental implants. Do you know anything about mini implants? If you are thinking of a dental implant, knowledge of mini implants will be beneficial to you. It is a newer type of dental implant where a 1-piece screw a little bit smaller than 3mm in diameter is used to fix the dental implant. Traditional dental implant uses two pieces of screws which are 3.25 to 5 mm in diameter. Mini implants are suitable for people who cannot go for traditional dental implant.




Eligibility for Mini Dental Implants


Mini dental implants don’t need much jawbone density. It means the newer type of implant is not for people with severe decay and bone loss. In addition, people with recessed gum are not eligible for mini implants. The implant is surrounded by the bone. People who have diabetes, vascular disease, periodontitis, bone disease, or hemophilia are not eligible for the new style dental implant. Some lifestyle factors like smoking, poor oral hygiene, and anticoagulant medications can prevent you to go for mini implants.


Benefits 

There are several key benefits of mini dental implants.

 

The medical procedure is recommended for a single missing tooth and multiple teeth. It is suitable to stabilize dentures.


It is a less invasive surgery than traditional dental implants. Therefore, it causes less pain after the procedure. A local anesthesia is administered to start the surgery. 


Since it is a minimal invasive surgery, recovery time is faster than traditional dental implants.


Cost of mini dental implants can vary depending on for how many teeth the implantation is going. But the medical procedure is cheaper than traditional dental implants. 

Traditional dental implants need more jawbone mass than mini dental implants. Therefore, it is a well suitable choice for people who have lost their jawbone density because of injury, tooth decay or bone loss because of conditions such as osteoporosis.


Traditional dental implants need enough jaw mass for which they may undergo for jawbone grafting before implants, but mini dental implants don’t need bone grafting.
