Mini-implants

Not every patient requires—or is suitable for—traditional dental implants. At Alpha Dental Group, we offer mini dental implants, a less invasive and more affordable alternative designed to replace missing teeth or stabilise loose dentures. With a simpler procedure, shorter healing time, and immediate function, mini implants provide a reliable solution for restoring your smile.

‍

What Are Mini Dental Implants?

‍

Mini dental implants are smaller, narrower versions of traditional implants. They consist of a titanium post with a ball-shaped end that connects securely to replacement teeth or dentures.

Because of their size, mini implants can often be placed without the need for bone grafting, making them especially suitable for patients with reduced bone density or those looking for a less invasive treatment option.

‍

Why Choose Mini Dental Implants at Alpha Dental Group?

• Minimally Invasive: Placement requires a smaller incision, meaning less discomfort and faster recovery.
• Immediate Results: In many cases, replacement teeth or dentures can be attached on the same day.
• Bone-Friendly: Often suitable even if you have reduced bone density, without the need for grafting.
• Secure Denture Stabilisation: Mini implants can lock dentures firmly in place, eliminating slipping or discomfort.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Generally less expensive than full-sized implants, making them an accessible treatment option.
• Comfort & Care: Treatment is performed with precision in a calm and supportive environment.

Who Can Benefit from Mini Dental Implants?

‍

Mini implants are ideal for patients who:

• Struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures.
• Have insufficient bone volume for traditional implants.
• Need a less invasive option with quicker recovery.
• Are seeking a more affordable implant-based treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

‍

Are mini implants as strong as traditional implants?

‍

Mini implants are durable but may not be as strong as full-sized implants. They are best suited for denture stabilisation or replacing smaller teeth.

‍

Is the procedure painful?

‍

No. Mini implants are placed under local anaesthesia, and most patients report only mild discomfort afterwards.

‍

How long do mini implants last?

‍

With proper care, they can last many years, though their lifespan may be shorter than that of traditional implants.

‍

Do mini implants require bone grafting?

‍

Usually not. Their smaller size often means grafting is unnecessary.

‍

Can mini implants replace a full set of teeth?

‍

Yes. They are commonly used to secure full dentures, providing stability and confidence.
