Narrow Diameter Implants for Limited Bone
Narrow diameter implants, also referred to as mini implants, are smaller than traditional dental implants, often about the size of a toothpick. They are designed for areas with limited bone availability where standard implants cannot be placed without additional procedures like bone grafting. These implants are ideal for locations with minimal bite forces, offering a practical solution for patients with restricted space.
Advantages and Applications of Narrow Diameter Implants
These smaller implants provide several benefits, particularly in areas where standard implants are not viable. Their compact size allows for placement in narrow spaces, making them perfect for specific situations where traditional implants cannot fit.
One of the primary uses of narrow diameter implants is in securing full dentures. By strategically placing several mini implants (usually 4-6) along the gum line, a secure foundation for the denture can be established. Rather than placing individual implants for each tooth, an entire arch of teeth can be supported by these implants.
Minimally Invasive and Cost-Effective
One of the key benefits of narrow diameter implants is their minimally invasive nature. Due to their small size, they do not require an incision, and can be directly inserted into the bone through the gum. This eliminates the need for a lengthy recovery period. Additionally, restorations can often be placed right after or shortly after the procedure, saving time. These implants are also more cost-effective compared to traditional implants, making them an appealing option for many patients.
