Like traditional implants, Mini dental implants can be as effective with additional benefits including smaller parts and procedure time. Normal screw sizes have a diameter less than 3mm that include the ball shaped end piece.

KEY DIFFERENCES IN IMPLANTS

What are the differences in implants?

A key difference between traditional implants and the mini dental implant is the placement of the implant in regards to the gum layer. Mini dental implants are placed over the gum while while traditional are placed under. This technique of over the gum placement has led to quicker procedure times and faster healing. However, certain procedures will need a bone graft for additional support.

How do I care for my mini implants?

The same care schedule must be followed like the conventional implant. This includes multiple daily brushing and flossing combined with normal dental visits.
