It\u2019s important to get teeth replaced, not just for aesthetic reasons but for your oral health as well. A dentist is more likely to recommend implants over other replacement teeth options because they are the option that most closely mimics natural teeth. But not everyone has strong enough bone in their jaw to get traditional implants. That\u2019s where mini dental implants <\/strong>come in.<\/p> If you\u2019re interested in learning more about mini implants in the UK, this article has got you covered.

Sizes range from 1.8 to 3.3mm in diameter (a little wider than a toothpick) and 10 to 15mm in length.<\/p> Mini implants consist of a titanium post with a ball at the end. The ball then supports whatever prosthetic teeth are being placed; whether removable snap-on dentures<\/a> or permanent crowns or overdentures.<\/p> Get a free quote for dental treatment abroad<\/a> Mini implants are different to normal dental implants<\/a> because of their size and design. Conventional implants have a diameter of 3.4 to 5.8mm, whereas most mini dental implants measure less than 3.3mm in diameter.<\/p> Mini dental implants are also simpler in design. Whereas traditional ones are designed with a post that has an abutment attached to it, which the crown then attaches to, mini dental implants consist of a post with a ball at one end and a rubber O-ring that secures the crown or dentures.<\/p> Another main difference is that mini dental implants protrude out of the gum surface when they are placed into the bone, whereas normal implants are placed under the gums.<\/p> The greatest difference between mini and full-sized dental implants is largely the way in which one implant is utilized over the other. Mini implants tend to be used in rather special scenarios in which the patient doesn’t have enough room for a full-sized implant or if there are special oral health conditions to consider. <\/p> A key area of note when considering a mini versus full-sized implant: the ability for the implant to properly absorb the pressure from chewing — if the implant isn’t strong enough it could fail, such as a mini implant used in a high-pressure chewing locale (e.g. back of the mouth). An ideal mini dental implant candidate would be a patient who is not in need of an implant in a high impact chewing location in the mouth, or for those who don’t quite have the spacial capacity for a full-sized implant. In some cases we see patients who prefer to utilize a mini dental implant to support existing dentures, or who are not ideal candidates for extensive oral surgery.<\/p> Dr. Igal Elyassi, Wilshire Smile Studio<\/strong><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> Regular implants require a certain amount of bone strength and density in order to be successfully placed and supported over the long term. But if you have been missing one or more teeth for a while, the bone in your jaw may have started to deteriorate, meaning it cannot support a traditional implant. Trauma and disease may also cause bone loss.<\/p> Standard implants require a minimum of 6mm<\/a> of bone width in order to be successful, but if you\u2019ve experienced bone deterioration, you might not meet the requirements.<\/p> Since implants are currently the best way to replace missing teeth<\/a>, your dentist may recommend that you get mini dental implants instead, since they can be placed in a narrower ridge. However, a narrow ridge is not the only reason that a mini implant may be recommended by your dentist instead of a regular one.<\/p> Other reasons include:<\/p>
