Mini dental implants (MDIs) are exactly what their name suggests: smaller versions of traditional dental implants. Key characteristics include:
Understanding the differences is crucial for choosing the right treatment (mini dental implants vs traditional implants).
| Feature | Mini Dental Implants | Traditional Dental Implants |
|---|---|---|
| Size (Diameter) | < 3mm | 3.5mm - 6mm+ |
| Structure | Usually one-piece | Usually two-piece |
| Surgery | Less invasive, often flapless, faster | More involved surgery, often requires flap |
| Bone Required | Can be used in narrower/less dense bone | Requires adequate bone volume/density (or graft) |
| Strength | Lower load capacity | High load capacity, very strong |
| Primary Use | Stabilizing dentures, replacing small teeth | Replacing single teeth, bridges, full arches |
| Longevity | Generally considered shorter-term (5-10+ yrs) | Considered a lifelong solution (20+ yrs) |
| Cost | More affordable | Higher initial investment |
The procedure for placing mini dental implants is known for being quick and minimally invasive.
Consultation & Scan: A thorough examination and usually a 3D CBCT scan are performed to assess bone quality and plan the precise location for the mini implants.
Anesthesia: Simple local anesthesia is typically sufficient to numb the area completely.
Placement: The dentist makes very small pilot holes through the gum tissue directly into the bone. The mini implants are then gently threaded into place. Often, no stitches are needed.
Immediate Loading (Often for Dentures): In many cases, especially for denture stabilization, the denture can be modified and snapped onto the mini implants during the same appointment.
Recovery: Discomfort is usually minimal, often manageable with over-the-counter pain relief for a day or two.
It's essential to understand both the benefits and the disadvantages of mini dental implants.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Less Invasive Surgery: Often placed without cutting the gums or needing stitches. | Lower Strength: Cannot withstand the same biting forces as traditional implants; less suitable for molars or replacing multiple large teeth with a fixed bridge. |
| Faster Procedure & Healing: The surgery is quicker, and recovery time is significantly reduced. | Potentially Shorter Lifespan: Due to their smaller size and one-piece design, they may not last as long as traditional implants (how long do mini dental implants last is variable). |
| Lower Cost: Material and surgical costs are lower than traditional implants. | Limited Use Cases: Primarily indicated for denture stabilization or very small teeth in low-stress areas. Not ideal for most single-tooth replacements or fixed bridges. |
| Option for Less Bone: Can sometimes be placed where bone volume is insufficient for standard implants, potentially avoiding bone grafting. | Harder to Restore if Crown Breaks: The one-piece design can make replacing a damaged crown more complex. |
| Immediate Denture Stability: Can often provide instant improvement in denture retention. |
Mini dental implants are an excellent option for specific situations:
Choosing the right type of implant is crucial. At Dentalays in Antalya:
The average cost per mini implant in Antalya typically ranges from €300 to €650, which is significantly lower than the €1,500+ often charged in the UK or USA. Packages for denture stabilization (e.g., using 4 mini implants) start around €1,200.
While traditional implants are considered a lifelong solution (20+ years), mini implants generally have a shorter expected lifespan, often estimated between 5-10+ years, although longevity varies greatly depending on usage and patient factors.
No, the procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report very little discomfort afterwards, often less than a standard tooth extraction.
Generally, no. Mini implants typically lack the strength and stability required to support a full fixed bridge replacing all upper or lower teeth. Their primary indication for full mouth mini dental implants is to stabilize a removable denture, not support a fixed bridge.
The main disadvantages are their lower strength compared to traditional implants (making them unsuitable for high-stress areas like molars), a potentially shorter lifespan, and more limited applications (primarily for denture stabilization).
In dentistry, high-resolution photographs are taken to evaluate the patient’s existing tooth structure and facial aesthetics. These photos are used to document and analyze the condition, color, and shape of the teeth and their harmony with the patient’s face.
Why is it important? Professional photographs help dentists and lab technicians plan the restoration process and achieve ideal aesthetic results.
5D scanning technology allows for highly precise digital scanning of teeth and oral structures. This technology goes beyond traditional 3D scans by capturing additional information such as color, texture, and movement.
Why is it important? 5D scanning enables the creation of detailed digital models of teeth, allowing for more accurate and personalized restorations. This accelerates the treatment process and provides a more comfortable experience for the patient.
Special dental burs are used for shaping teeth with minimal preparation and for the precise placement of restorations. These burs are high-precision and sharp instruments.
Dental laboratories equipped with advanced technology play a key role in the production of restorations. These labs use CAD/CAM systems, high-precision manufacturing devices, and biocompatible materials.

Mini Dental Implant Real Customer Reviews
Real experiences, real smile
Wow !!! I’ve literally just had my new smile, I’m over the moon! Had a lot of work done to get the smile I’ve wanted for years but the whole team at Dentalays have been amazing! Can’t thank them enough. Every visit I was made to feel relaxed, informed of everything that was going to take place (most of which through a brilliant translator, who was with my every step of the way) I’d highly recommend Dentalays if you’re thinking about cosmetic treatments.
Dentalays Clinic is like home!!! Not only are our smiles beautiful and important to the entire staff! But who we are and what kind of people we are! I felt at home! Very warm atmosphere! In such a short time I got to know each of them very well! We are not just clients there, but they give everyone a lot of warmth and care! They want to get to know us. Which for me is very beautiful! Being there you will not lack anything! No matter how difficult the procedure you are going through, you receive a lot of support and care! Another thing that is important to me is that each of them does it with passion. The entire procedure must be done perfectly, every imperfection is corrected! We do not feel like a piggy bank! Because for them money is really secondary! The most important thing for the clinic is our well-being and health and satisfaction with the procedure performed! Nothing is done in a hurry and without discussing it with you or the Doctor! I loved these people and I know that I will go back there to spend some time with them! They are my second home and I know that I can always count on them! There are few people with such a good heart these days!
DENTALAYS I love you! Thank you for everything and I miss you already! Now I know that with a smile like the one you gave me I will find my HUSBAND 😂
