What Are Mini Dental Implants?
Mini dental implants are a smaller, less invasive alternative to traditional implants. They offer a strong and stable foundation for dentures or crowns, particularly for patients who may not have sufficient bone density for standard implant posts.
Benefits of Mini Implants Include:
- Less invasive surgical procedure
- Shorter healing time
- Often completed in a single visit
- No need for bone grafting in many cases
- More affordable than traditional implants
They're ideal for stabilizing dentures or replacing smaller teeth, particularly in patients who may not be candidates for full-sized implants due to bone loss or medical conditions.

Dr. Jared Curtin, DDS, brings extensive surgical expertise in both standard and mini implants. As a specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery, he performs mini implant procedures with careful precision, combining advanced surgical techniques and state-of-the-art digital imaging to ensure optimal placement and long-term results.
Patients across Southern New Hampshire turn to Dr. Curtin for his compassionate approach, particularly those who require tailored sedation options to manage anxiety or complex health histories. Learn more about our full range of sedation options, including IV sedation and oral conscious sedation.
Are Mini Implants Right for You?
Mini dental implants are often recommended for patients who:
- Are missing one or more teeth

- Want to stabilize loose dentures
- Need a quicker, more affordable tooth replacement option
Dr. Curtin will perform a detailed evaluation at your consultation, using 3D imaging and diagnostic scans to determine if mini implants are appropriate for your needs. If you require additional support, options like bone grafting and ridge augmentation may be discussed.

FAQs
What's the difference between mini implants and traditional implants?
Mini implants have a smaller diameter and typically do not require invasive surgery or bone grafting. They're often used for stabilizing dentures or replacing smaller teeth, while traditional implants are used for larger restorations and complex cases.
Are mini implants permanent?
Yes, when properly placed and maintained, mini implants can last for many years. Like traditional implants, they are made from biocompatible titanium and integrate with the jawbone over time.
Is the mini implant procedure painful?
The procedure is minimally invasive and typically performed under local anesthesia, with the option for sedation. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and a short recovery period.
How long does it take to get mini implants?
In many cases, mini implants can be placed and restored in a single visit. However, the timeline can vary depending on your overall oral health and whether extractions or additional procedures are needed.
Am I a candidate for mini implants if I have bone loss?
Yes, mini implants are often a great option for patients with mild to moderate bone loss. During your consultation, Dr. Curtin will determine if additional procedures like bone grafting are necessary.
Act fast. Gently rinse the tooth (avoid scrubbing), place it in milk or saline, and contact our office immediately. Quick reimplantation can sometimes save the tooth.
