What Are Mini Dental Implants, and Are You Suitable?
A mini implant is a narrow titanium post — under 3mm, against 3.5 to 5mm for a standard implant. That slimness is the point: it fits where a standard implant cannot.
Mini implants are likely right for you if:
- Your jaw is too narrow for a standard implant and you would rather avoid a graft
- Your upper or lower denture is loose and you are tired of adhesive
- A single gap is too narrow for a standard implant width
They are not for every case. Molars take too much bite force, and full fixed arches need standard implants. We will not place mini implants where a standard implant is the better long-term answer.
If bone loss is your concern across a whole arch, All-on-4 may suit instead. Your CT scan tells us honestly which fits. It costs nothing.
Why Choose WantTeeth for Mini Implants in Leicester
- We scan before we recommend. Mini implants suit narrow ridges and loose dentures — not every case. Your CT scan decides, not the cheaper option.
- We say no when standard is better. If a standard implant is the stronger long-term fit, we tell you, rather than sell you the smaller procedure.
- We plan upper arches properly. An upper denture needs six mini implants, not four — the upper jaw is less dense. We plan to what holds, not to what looks cheapest.
- Placed by our Clinical Director, Dr Azeem Mirza — start to finish.
How Mini Implants Work — Three Stages
Stage 1
Free consultation and CT scan
Dr Mirza scans your jaw in 3D at our Melton Road clinic to measure bone width, height and density at each site. The scan confirms whether mini implants suit you and how many you need. You leave with a written plan and an exact price. You pay nothing.
Stage 2
Placement
We place the mini implants under local anaesthetic. The technique is minimally invasive — usually no incision, no stitches — so most cases are one appointment and you go home the same day.
Stage 3
Your crown or denture
For a single gap, we fit a crown. For a loose denture, we clip it onto the implants — often the same day. Your denture now holds firm instead of floating on your gum.

Mini Dental Implants Leicester — FAQs
Yes, but an upper denture needs more mini implants than a lower one. The upper jaw is less dense, so it typically takes six mini implants against four for the lower. Your CT scan confirms the number.
For denture stabilisation and narrow single-tooth gaps, they work well. But they have less surface area, so they are not right for full fixed arches or high-load molars. We only recommend mini implants where they genuinely fit your bone.
Often, yes. We can usually retrofit your current denture to clip onto the mini implants, which avoids the cost of a new one. We assess it at your CT consultation.
Often, this is exactly why mini implants are chosen. A narrow ridge that rules out a standard implant can still take a mini one. Only a CT scan confirms it — not a 2D X-ray.
Yes. Most mini cases need no incision and no stitches, so placement is quicker and recovery is usually one to three days of mild discomfort — less than standard implant surgery.
