Mini dental implants are a narrower version of standard dental implants — typically 1.8 to 3.3mm in diameter compared to 3.5mm+ for standard implants. They are used in specific situations where standard implants are not suitable or where a less invasive approach is preferred.
Patients who have experienced bone loss and do not have sufficient bone width or height for a standard implant may be candidates for mini implants, which require less bone for placement.
Mini implants are particularly well-suited to stabilising loose lower dentures. Typically 2–4 mini implants are placed with ball attachments that clip into corresponding sockets in the denture — significantly improving comfort, confidence and quality of life.
Mini implants can replace small teeth in narrow spaces where a standard-diameter implant would not fit — such as lower incisors or upper lateral incisors — providing a fixed, natural-looking replacement.
Mini implants can often be placed without a surgical flap in a single shorter appointment, with faster healing compared to full-diameter implant placement in many cases.
In appropriate cases, mini implants may offer a more cost-effective solution than standard implants — particularly for denture stabilisation, where 2–4 mini implants can secure a full denture without the cost of multiple full-size implants.
Not everyone is suitable for mini implants. A thorough consultation including dental X-rays or CBCT scanning determines the most appropriate implant solution for your bone structure, bite and goals.
Call or WhatsApp us for a personalised quote — treatment cost depends on your specific clinical situation.
Clinical examination and dental X-rays or CBCT cone-beam CT scan assess your bone volume, gum health and suitability for mini implants. A full written treatment plan and cost breakdown is provided.
Your implant dentist plans precise placement of each mini implant using your scan data. Any pre-implant treatment — such as gum disease treatment — is completed before implant surgery begins.
Under local anaesthetic, mini implants are carefully placed in the jawbone. Many cases can be completed without a surgical flap — a smaller, more minimally invasive procedure than traditional implant placement.
Once healing is confirmed, the denture attachments or crown restorations are fitted and adjusted. For denture stabilisation, your existing or new denture is modified to clip securely onto the implant attachments.
