Small, they contain no internal screws used to attach a pillar that will host a crown, bridge or denture.
No sting, dreaded by some patients, no surgery is required to install the mini-implants. They are installed using an anesthetic gel that is placed directly on the first gum. Removal of a mini-implant is even simpler because it does not require local anesthesia.
They are often installed to fix a removable dental prosthesis; speech, chewing function and cleaning of a prosthesis secured with mini implants are easier, just as in the case of conventional dental implants.
They require little or no bone grafting, because a smaller volume of alveolar bone can host mini-screws, which may not be the case for conventional implants.
The implant treatment with mini-implants is shorter because no recovery period is necessary before placing a crown, bridge or prosthesis on a mini-implant.
The cost of treatment with mini-screw is significantly lower than with conventional implants.
They are often used to replace small teeth, the front teeth in the esthetic zone of the mouth or teeth that are in a restricted area of the mouth or whose roots do not provide sufficient space for insertion a conventional implant in the jaw.
