What is a mini implant?

A mini implant is a smaller and thinner  titanium implant than a traditional one , which is used to secure a removable denture. Usually, 4 implants are needed in the lower jaw and 6 in the upper jaw to achieve adequate stability. The implants are fitted into the bone with a screw and end in a so-called ball head.

The immobility of the prosthesis is ensured by the connection between the ball head and the rubber ring fixed to the teeth: thanks to this technology, the denture  fits like a patent  and no longer wobbles or slides.

The denture only needs to be removed for cleaning. The mini implant is therefore  ideal for all ages and lifest

What problems does the mini implant solve?

If complete dentures are required

In Hungary, approximately 800,000 people live with complete toothlessness. And toothlessness  must be treated quickly and permanently!  In addition to clearly worsening the quality of life (making it difficult to speak, eat), toothlessness can also cause additional problems if left untreated. In addition to stomach and digestive system complaints, it can also be responsible for the loss of self-confidence and the development of psychological problems.

Tooth loss can occur at any age for various reasons. Removable dentures can be an ideal choice even at a young age if you are looking for a durable, high-quality, yet cost-effective solution. We also recommend them to the elderly, as they carry minimal risk and guarantee safe intervention and long-lasting results even in cases of low bone mass.

If you find your removable dentures uncomfortable

Most of our patients have been using dentures for years, but  they are limited in their daily lives . Fixing dentures with adhesive is an unpleasant and cumbersome process, and can cause increasing difficulties in old age. In addition, removable dentures often move and wobble. This often leads to the following problems:

  • impaired sense of taste,
  • chewing difficulties,
  • stomach complaints, digestive problems,
  • deteriorating voice production,
  • cracked gums, gingivitis,
  • more difficult speech,
  • decreasing self-confidence,
  • Anxiety in company: many people don’t dare to smile or laugh because of removable dentures.

Why is this the most reliable way to secure dentures?

  • It ensures a stable fit: you can finally  chew, eat and laugh freely again!
  • It requires a short, expected  1-hour routine intervention  .
  • It is performed under local  anesthesia  , so  it is not painful .
  •  The procedure can be performed safely even when there is little bone available  .
  • Due to the low load,  it is also recommended for older patients  .
  • The surgery is typically  followed by rapid recovery  , with implants becoming load-bearing within 2-3 months.
  • After implantation, you will only need to remove your dentures for cleaning, so  you can say goodbye to denture adhesives forever .
  • Cost-effective: mini implant dentures  cost nearly 85% less than replacing your entire denture with a classic implant bridge.

Dental implant frequently asked questions

Who needs a mini implant?

If you are experiencing any discomfort from your adhesive-retained removable dentures (e.g. difficulty chewing, speech problems, impaired taste perception, gingivitis), denture fixation with mini implants is a permanent solution.

In our clinic, the prices for denture fixation depend on the patient’s condition and individual needs. Our specialists can provide a personalized quote during a consultation, as part of a detailed treatment plan. For general information, you can view  our price list.

Our dentists do everything they can to make the procedure painless. Mini-implantation is performed under local anesthesia, so it is not painful, only minimally uncomfortable. The procedure is performed with the utmost care, but you don’t have to be prepared for lengthy discomfort: the implantation is usually completed in one hour.

Not necessarily! We always examine the condition of your existing prosthesis. If the denture is suitable, we attach snaps that fit the ball heads of the implants.

The mini implant used in the Budapest Dentcare clinic is made of titanium. This is a top-quality material that is completely accepted by the body without resistance. The screw root of the implanted implant is grown into by the jawbone tissues within a few months. Therefore, the risk of rejection is minimal. The special design of the Denti implant heads minimizes the load on the mini implants and maximizes the anchoring and stability of the denture.

The lifespan of a mini implant (and dental implants in general) depends largely on oral hygiene and bad habits.

If the patient does not smoke and follows the oral hygiene routine recommended by the dentist, according to our experience, they will still be satisfied with the implants after 10 years.

The oral hygiene routine usually consists of the following:

  • The dentures should be brushed every morning and evening, after meals, and cleaned thoroughly with a hard-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste.
  • The neck of the implants should always be cleaned with an interdental brush to a shiny metallic color,
  • The rubber rings should also be treated once a week with white petroleum jelly, available at pharmacies.
