Regular dental implants and mini dental implants are essentially the same thing but the only difference between the mini dental implants and the regular dental implants is the size of the dental implants.

Regular dental implants are 3 to 6mm in size and diameter while the mini dental implants are smaller in size which makes the mini dental implants perfect for people who do not have enough bone density to support a full size dental implant.

If you have enough bone density then you can get the regular dental implants and if you don't have enough bone density then you can go with the mini dental implants.

So that's the only real difference between dental implants and mini dental implants is that the sizes are different and the mini dental implant is smaller and the regular dental implant is larger.
