When it comes to missing teeth, it’s not only the look of your smile that’s affected, hundreds of things like chewing, speech, and overall confidence are also affected. If you are looking for a less invasive, less expensive option, mini dental implants may be just the right option for you! Here at Partha Dental, we work in advanced, patient-friendly dental solutions, and mini dental implants are becoming one of the most popular options for tooth replacement.
In this blog post, we will discuss about the mini dental implants benefits, costs, procedure, recovery, what makes a good candidate, and also about the mini dental implants types so you have everything you need to make an informed decision.
1. What Are Mini Dental Implants?
Mini dental implants are a smaller, less invasive way of the traditional dental implant. While a standard dental implant has a diameter of 3.5–6 mm, mini implants are less than 3 mm wide. They consist of a titanium post that has a ball on the end that goes above the gum line. The ball attaches to a prosthetic tooth or denture.
Mini dental implants are advantageous in which they don’t require bone grafts or long healing time, by making them a great choice for patients who may not have enough bone mass. As long as you meet the minimal qualifications, you may be able to receive a mini dental implant during your first visit.
2. Advantage of Mini Dental Implants
Let’s take a look at the major advantage of mini dental implants and what makes them a good choice for many patients.
1. Less Invasive
Because mini dental implants are smaller, the procedure is less complex and less involved. That means less pain, less swelling, and a quicker recovery — and an overall more comfortable and less stressful experience.
2. Shorter Healing Time
Traditional implants can take months to heal. With mini dental implants, you may be able to return to normal activity within 24–48 hours.
3. Deliver Immediately
In many cases the implant and prosthetic can be placed on the same day. Therefore, you can eat and smile as soon as possible.
4. Affordable Tooth Replacement
Cost is a large contributing factor for most patients. Mini dental implants cost less than conventional implants, making them a more practical option.
5. Adds Stability to Dentures
Mini implants are commonly used for stability of loose dentures to prevent from shifting during eating or speaking.

4. Mini Dental Implants Types
Mini dental implants come in different types, each of which serves a different function:
1. Ball-shaped Mini Dental Implants
Ball-shaped mini dental implants are the most commonly prescribed type to anchor or retain dentures in position. The ball end fits into rubber O-rings that are inside the denture to hold it in position.
2. Fixed Crown Mini Dental Implants
These mini implants are used to replace a single missing tooth. They are fixed and support a permanent crown as opposed to a removable denture.
3. Hybrid Mini Dental Implants
Hybrid mini dental implants provide features of both a standard or “full-sized” dental implant and a mini instrument which may be necessary in complex treatment or cases to provide extra support.
