Everything just seems to be getting smaller these days – modern electronics being the best example. If your smartphone can get smaller but hold more data and be more powerful in general, can the same be possible for other aspects in your life such as, say, your dental implants? With mini dental implants, the answer is obviously yes.


Conventional vs. Mini Implants

The typical process for conventional dental implants could be lengthy and uncomfortable, and entail long recovery periods. There might also be a need for invasive surgery or for bone grafting before your implant can be placed. Mini dental implants take away most of these disadvantages.
The Structure

Mini implants are, by definition, much smaller screw-like attachments than the conventional types, with a diameter of a hundredth of an inch, as compared to the one-fifth of an inch conventional implants. The former are also a lot more solid and compressed, giving them more potential for strength than the traditional ones.

Single-Day Implants

Another inconvenience conventional dental implants bring is that they need two or more sessions to be fitted, so the process can be quite complex. Many dentists, on the other hand, have taken to calling mini implants “single day implants” because they need no more than a single session to be completely attached.
