Question

What is the difference between conventional dental implant and mini dedental implant and theiri costs? ?

Answer 1

Usually a mini dental implant is for dentures. Generally four or five little implants are made, anchors are added to the denture, and they snap in. Conventional implants are for one (usually at a time) tooth and it is permanently implanted. Mini implants are also permanent, but the denture is still removable.

Hi,

The main technical difference is the application bandwidth.  Conventional implants can be used in a variety of ways: Single tooth replacements, multiple tooth replacements, denture fixation and stabilization and orthodontic anchorage.  Mini and micro - implants, on the other hand, have only one limited application and that is to support a denture via a "snap-on" attachment.  The chance of upgrading later on to another prosthesis, which requires a different attachement or interface does not exist with these.  The success rates are somewhat lower with the micro and mini implants, but there is still very little data out there.  Finally, they definately are less expensive than their conventional counterparts.  I guess if you want to maintain the option to upgrate to a fixed prosthesis in the future, these implants would probably not be the ones to choose.  If you have your heart set on the prosthesis these mini and micro implants allow than they are a good alternative.

Answer 3

Mini dental implants are less costlier than conventional implants. Often in many jaw bone situations more numbers are required to bring better stability to dentures. Here the cost saving purpose gets defeated. Consult your dentist to evaluate your situation.
