Regular-sized dental implants need a certain amount of bone structure to surgically implant the post. Mini implants don’t need as much space. This means less bone is required.

Placing mini implants is usually less time-intensive than full-sized implants. Full-sized implants usually require several months of healing before dental restorations are placed on top. Mini implants on the other hand can often support a denture right away.

Mini implant placement is usually simple and relatively pain-free with recovery in just a day or two. Modifications to the denture are made on the same day as placement. This means you can begin wearing your new teeth right away.
