What are mini dental implants?
A mini implant is a small, narrow post placed in the jawbone. A denture is fitted with attachments that snap onto the implants, which helps keep it from moving.
Because they are narrow, mini implants can sometimes be placed where there is less bone. For most patients, Dr. Desai recommends snap-on implant dentures, which use standard implants and give more predictable outcomes. For teeth that stay in, see All-on-X.
Who are mini implants for?
- People whose lower denture feels loose or slips
- People who want more stability without a full-arch treatment
- People with less bone, after a 3D scan shows mini implants are suitable
