About Mini Dental Implants

Mini dental implants are smaller versions of traditional dental implants, typically less than 3mm in diameter, made from biocompatible titanium alloy that integrates with the jawbone. They consist of a one-piece titanium screw with a ball-shaped end that protrudes through the gumline, requiring less invasive surgery than conventional implants and allowing for immediate loading. These implants are particularly suitable for replacing single front teeth or premolars, stabilising dentures, and helping patients with insufficient bone density who might otherwise require bone grafting procedures. While they offer advantages including lower initial cost, faster healing time, and a less intensive procedure, mini dental implants generally have a shorter lifespan of approximately 6-9 years compared to traditional implants that can last 15+ years with proper maintenance.

Mini dental implants offer a less invasive and cost-effective solution for replacing missing teeth, particularly for individuals with insufficient jawbone density. At London Dental Specialists, our streamlined process ensures optimal results: beginning with a comprehensive consultation and assessment, we develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs. The minimally invasive procedure involves placing the small titanium implants into the jawbone, often allowing for immediate attachment of replacement teeth.

The Benefits of Mini Dental Implants

The conditions we treat for Mini Dental Implants in London are:


  • Missing Single Teeth: Mini dental implants are ideal for replacing individual teeth, particularly front teeth and premolars, using small titanium screws less than 3mm in diameter.

  • Loose Dentures: These biocompatible implants can stabilise existing dentures, preventing embarrassing slippage and improving chewing function without the need for adhesives.

  • Limited Jawbone Volume: Mini implants are perfect for patients with insufficient bone density who would otherwise require bone grafting for traditional implants.

  • Front Teeth Replacement: The one-piece design of mini dental implants makes them particularly suitable for replacing visible front teeth with excellent aesthetic results.

  • Premolar Replacement: These small diameter implants provide effective solutions for premolar teeth that don't bear as much chewing force as molars.

  • Immediate Tooth Replacement Needs: Mini dental implants can often be loaded immediately, allowing for same-day tooth replacement in many cases.

  • Full Denture Stabilisation: Multiple mini implants can secure a complete set of dentures, dramatically improving quality of life for those with full tooth loss.

  • Medically Compromised Patients: The minimally invasive nature of mini dental implants makes them suitable for patients who may not be candidates for more extensive surgical procedures.

  • Long-term Temporary Restorations: These affordable dental implants can provide medium-term solutions while planning for permanent restorations.

  • Narrow Tooth Spaces: The smaller diameter of mini implants allows them to fit in tight spaces where conventional implants would not be possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Considering mini dental implants? You're not alone. These smaller alternatives to traditional implants offer solutions for patients with insufficient jawbone density or those seeking a less invasive option. At London Dental Specialists, we understand you may have questions about cost, longevity, procedure details, and suitability for your specific needs. Mini implants, measuring 3mm or less in diameter, can support dentures or replace individual teeth with a streamlined procedure. While typically ranging from £5,000 to £7,000 for full-mouth restoration, they generally require less recovery time than conventional implants. Though they may have a shorter lifespan of 6-9 years compared to traditional implants, they remain an excellent option for many patients. Here are answers to the questions we hear most frequently.

What are mini dental implants?


Mini dental implants are smaller versions of traditional dental implants, with a diameter of three millimetres or less. They consist of a single solid titanium post with a ball-shaped end that protrudes from the gumline to support a replacement tooth or denture. Unlike conventional implants, mini dental implants don't require extensive surgery and can often be placed in a single visit at London Dental Specialists.



How long do mini dental implants last?


With proper care and regular check-ups at London Dental Specialists, mini dental implants typically last 6-9 years. To maximise their lifespan, patients should maintain excellent oral hygiene, attend regular dental check-ups, avoid smoking, and follow all aftercare instructions provided by our specialists.



What is the cost of mini dental implants in London?


At London Dental Specialists, mini dental implants typically cost between £5,000 and £7,000 for a full mouth treatment, depending on the number of implants required. Unlike traditional implants, mini implants rarely require additional procedures such as bone grafting, which helps keep costs predictable. We offer various payment plans to make treatment more accessible.



Who is a good candidate for mini dental implants?


Ideal candidates for mini dental implants at London Dental Specialists include:



  • Long-term denture wearers experiencing bone loss

  • Patients missing one or more teeth

  • Individuals with insufficient bone density for traditional implants

  • Patients seeking a less invasive alternative to conventional implants

  • Those looking for a more affordable implant option



What are the advantages of mini dental implants?


Mini dental implants offer several benefits, including:



  • Less invasive procedure with minimal recovery time

  • No need for bone grafting in most cases

  • Lower initial cost compared to traditional implants

  • Can be placed in a single appointment at London Dental Specialists

  • Suitable for patients with bone loss or thin jawbones

  • Immediate stabilisation of dentures



What are the potential disadvantages of mini dental implants?


While mini dental implants are an excellent solution for many patients, they do have some limitations. Their shorter lifespan (6-9 years) compared to traditional implants (15+ years) may mean higher long-term costs due to earlier replacement. They also may not be suitable for supporting larger restorations or for use in areas with high biting forces. At London Dental Specialists, we thoroughly assess each patient to determine if mini implants are the right choice.



What is the procedure for getting mini dental implants?


The mini dental implant procedure at London Dental Specialists typically involves:



  1. Initial consultation and comprehensive examination

  2. Digital imaging to plan precise implant placement

  3. Local anaesthetic administration

  4. Minimally invasive placement of the titanium implants

  5. Attachment of dentures or replacement teeth


Most patients can have the entire procedure completed in a single visit, with minimal recovery time.



How do I care for my mini dental implants?


Proper care for mini dental implants includes:



  • Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush

  • Daily flossing around each implant

  • Using antimicrobial mouthwash as recommended

  • Attending regular check-ups at London Dental Specialists

  • Avoiding hard or sticky foods that could damage the implants

  • Refraining from smoking, which can compromise implant success



How do mini dental implants differ from traditional dental implants?


Mini dental implants differ from traditional implants in several key ways. They have a smaller diameter (less than 3mm compared to 3.5-6mm for traditional implants), consist of a single piece rather than separate components, require less invasive surgery, and can often be placed without bone grafting. At London Dental Specialists, we offer both options and can help determine which type is best suited to your specific needs based on your oral health, bone density, and treatment goals.
