Mini dental implants are used for a variety of reasons but usually when the load to be placed on them is not significant. Mini dental implants are most often employed as a temporary measure to hold existing dentures in place whilst full implants set into the bone. Mini-dental implants are often proposed as the final solution to stabalise dentures especially where a full sized implant cannot be tolerated. The big difference between mini dental implants and full sized ones are the ability of full dental implants to maintain bone structure which would otherwise naturally deteriorate. If mini dental implants are fitted they will serve their purpose for a limited amount of time but later when bone has reduced they become much less effective and new dentures will need to be made to fit the shrunken gum line and new mini dental implants fitted. So in the long run this tactic may well work out to be much more expensive though in some cases it may be the only option.

Dental Implant Information
During the last 30 years the use of dental implants has
changed dentistry beyond recognition. Implants are no longer considered experimental
and it is equally rare to come across situations where they cannot be used
at all.
Following is a an extract of frequently asked questions about dental implants and associated subjects such as bone grafting which
is meant to serve as an explanation of what can be quite a complex subject.
Most patients will be very familiar with the dental
anaesthetics used for routine dentistry and will know how effective they
are. Implants are placed using the same anaesthesia. Depending upon the
complexity of your case, the operation might take anything from 30 minutes
for a single implant, to several hours for complex bone grafting and
multiple implant placements. Since the surgery normally involves exposing
the bone in the area where the implant and/or bone graft is to be placed
you can expect some minor swelling and occasionally bruising afterwards.
For most patients, any of the simple painkillers you might take for a
headache will be all that is needed for a few days. If you experience
more discomfort than this, contact your treatment provider who can prescribe
a stronger medication. During the first few days you should report any
unexpected levels of pain or swelling so that it can be assessed. If
in doubt always ask for advice, as early detection of a problem will
often lead to a simpler solution. You may also be asked to take a course
of antibiotics and to follow some simple procedures such as rinsing with
salt water or an antiseptic mouth rinse. It is important that you carry
out these instructions.
How
many teeth can be supported by implants?
All the common forms of tooth replacement, such as
bridges or dentures can be replaced by dental implants. If you are missing
just one natural tooth, then one implant is normally all that will be
needed to provide a replacement. Larger spaces created by two, three
or more missing teeth do not necessarily need one implant per tooth,
however the exact number of implants will depend upon the quality and
volume of bone at each potential implant site.
Occasionally, it is even possible to join natural teeth to implants with
a conventional bridge thus saving the expense of an additional implant.
In the upper jaw, bone density is generally poorer than in the lower
and if you have no teeth at all, most treatment providers will want to
place a minimum of 8 implants to support a complete arch of 12 or more
replacement teeth. In the lower jaw, the bone towards the front of the
mouth is often very strong and as a direct result, fewer implants may
be needed than are required to treat a whole upper jaw.
Hungary is in sharp to contrast to most European countries
in that it has a hugely competitive army of highly trained dental professionals
fighting for a relatively small home market. Competition has been stoked
further by waves of foreign clients initially crossing the immediate borders
from Austria and Germany in search of a better deal. Now, with the recent
entry of Hungary into the EU, it's marketplace has expanded and competition
has grown even more fierce producing some of the best clinics Budapest has ever
seen. Prices have remained constant and in some cases fallen whilst quality
and levels of service have risen sharply.
Hungary and specifically Budapest is now a world leader in dentistry. No
one else has so many highly trained and experienced dentists per capita.
