Mini Dental Implants are about half the cost of traditional dental implants. In the US, one traditional dental implant costs on average of $2,450. The cost of Mini Dental Implants are on average $1,000 per implant.
Mini Dental Implants are a single unit with a ball, or adaptor, on top.
Why are Mini Dental Implants less expensive than traditional dental implants?
There are several reasons that Mini Dental Implants are less expensive:
- Mini Dental Implants are about one-third of the size of traditional dental implants, so they require less titanium for fabrication.
- An abutment, which adds to the cost, is placed on a traditional dental implant to secure the dental crown in place. Mini Dental Implants don’t need abutments.
- The procedure for placing a Mini Dental Implant is quicker and requires less drilling than a traditional dental implant.
- Mini Dental Implants are an option for patients who may have needed bone grafting for traditional implants. This is because they get their strength from their length instead of their thickness. This is also going to reduce the price. It’s a win-win!
- Existing dentures can be retro-fitted for placement on Mini Dental Implants, saving the cost of new dentures.
- The healing time for Mini Dental Implants is quick, so you won’t need to make it as many times to the office.
How to decide if Mini Dental Implants are the right choice for you
Mini Dental Implants are not as strong as thicker, traditional implants. They are ideal for anchoring dentures and bridges. They can also anchor single teeth in small spaces or teeth that don’t have to bear the full force of biting. Because they are often used in patients who have experienced bone loss in the jaw, your dentist must place them carefully to ensure they are secured properly.
An initial assessment can determine if you are a good candidate for Mini Dental Implants. Your overall health and the number and location of teeth that need replacement will factor in to your ability to have Mini Dental Implants put into place.
