Dental implants are metal screws made of titanium that we place in your jawbone. Thanks to their biocompatible nature, these screws integrate with your bone over time to form a strong connection<\/a><\/strong>. Using this connection, we can secure a crown, bridge, or denture restoration to your implants, anchoring them to your jaw! But with multiple types of implants to choose from, patients can feel overwhelmed. When choosing between mini implants vs. regular, or standard, implants, it’s important to understand the differences between them.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Dr. Fine<\/a><\/strong> at Fine Dental Care helps clarify the differences between these two implants to determine which solution works best for you!<\/p>\n

Mini Implants vs. Regular Implants<\/h2>\n

While both implants are titanium screws<\/a><\/strong> that lay a strong foundation for replacement teeth, they differ in size, structure, and placement.<\/p>\n

Regular Implants<\/h3>\n

Regular, also known as standard or traditional implants, are typically around 5 mm in diameter. Because of their large size, these implants require sufficient bone structure for support.<\/p>\n

However, most patients looking to restore their smiles have lost jawbone, requiring additional procedures to rebuild it. While effective, procedures such as injerto \u00f3seo<\/a><\/strong> increase both the cost and duration of your implant treatment.<\/p>\n

Additionally, regular implants have multiple components, which require multiple placement appointments. Between these appointments are long periods of healing while your gums and bone recover from the invasive procedure.<\/p>\n

Mini Implants<\/h3>\n

In contrast, miniimplantes dentales<\/a><\/strong> are smaller in diameter, less than 3 mm. Thanks to their small size, these implants can secure even in minimal bone. In fact, many patients who aren’t eligible for regular implants due to bone loss are still eligible for mini implants, even without the bone graft!<\/p>\n

Mini implants are also a one-piece implant, meaning they only have one component. To place these titanium posts, we use a minimally invasive procedure that can be done in one appointment.<\/p>\n

With no healing time between visits and a more comfortable placement process, it’s no wonder that most patients prefer mini implant treatment!<\/p>\n
