Mini Dental Implants Removal
Remove mini dental implants that have been damaged or worn down.
Mini Dental Implants Removal Treatment Explained
Mini dental implants removal is the process to remove narrow diameter implants (smaller than traditional dental implants) from where it was placed. Removal is usually done because a mini dental implant is damaged or worn down or no longer integrated fully into healthy bone. In some cases, removing a mini dental implant can be because of infections, nerve damage, or implant failure.
Quote:
“Most people assume that because the mini dental implant has the words dental implants in it, that they are both the same product. They are not. While mini dental implants have their own usage and purposes, they should not be placed as a cheaper or more affordable option to dental implants in all clinical situations. The long-term impact of placing a mini dental implant in an unsuitable location can result in potential complications.” – Dental Surgeon, Dr Gerald Tan

Mini Dental Implants Removal Treatment Duration
The treatment duration for mini dental implants removal can vary depending on the number of implants being removed, the complexity of the case, and the individual patient’s healing process. However, here’s a general timeline for the procedure and recovery:
The mini dental implants removal procedure itself typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes per implant. If you are having multiple implants removed, the procedure may take longer. The length of the procedure also depends on factors such as the location of the implants and the condition of the surrounding bone and tissues.
Immediately after the procedure, you may experience some swelling, discomfort, and mild bleeding. These symptoms usually subside within a few days to a week. Your implant dentist will provide you with instructions on how to manage these symptoms and promote healing, such as taking prescribed medications, using cold compresses, and maintaining a soft food diet.
Most patients are able to return to their normal activities within a day or two after the procedure. However, it’s important to avoid strenuous activities and smoking, which can delay healing.
The initial healing process typically takes about one to two weeks. During this time, the extraction sites will begin to close and the swelling and discomfort will gradually subside. Your implant dentist will schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your progress and ensure that healing is on track.
Complete healing of the extraction sites can take several weeks to a few months, depending on the individual patient and the specific circumstances of the case. In some cases, additional procedures, such as bone grafting, may be necessary to prepare the site for future dental work, which can extend the overall treatment timeline.
Throughout the healing process, it’s crucial to maintain good oral hygiene habits and follow your implant dentist’s instructions to promote optimal healing and reduce the risk of complications. With proper care and attention, most patients are able to achieve a full recovery and move forward with their dental goals after mini dental implants removal.
Mini Dental Implants Removal Treatment Cost in Singapore
The cost of mini dental implants removal in Singapore can vary depending on several factors, such as the number of implants being removed, the complexity of the case, and the specific dental clinic or provider you choose. However, here’s a general range of prices you can expect:
On average, the cost of removing a single mini dental implant in Singapore ranges from $500 to $1,500. This cost typically includes the initial consultation, the removal procedure itself, and any necessary follow-up appointments.
If you require multiple mini dental implants to be removed, the total cost will be higher. For example, removing two to four mini dental implants may cost between $1,000 and $4,000, while removing a full arch of mini dental implants (four or more) can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000 or more.
In some cases, additional procedures may be necessary, such as bone grafting to prepare the site for future dental work. These procedures can add to the overall cost of treatment. Bone grafting can cost anywhere from $500 to $2,000 or more, depending on the extent of the grafting required.
It’s important to note that these are general estimates, and the actual cost of your mini dental implants removal treatment may vary. Some dental clinics may offer package prices or discounts for multiple implant removals, while others may charge higher fees due to their location, expertise, or reputation.
To get a more accurate estimate of the cost of mini dental implants removal for your specific case, it’s best to schedule a consultation with a trusted dental provider. During the consultation, your dentist can assess your individual needs and provide a detailed treatment plan and cost estimate.
Keep in mind that while cost is an essential factor to consider, it’s equally important to choose a qualified and experienced dental provider who can ensure the safety, effectiveness, and long-term success of your treatment.

FAQs
Got questions? We’ve got answers! Check out our FAQ section for common inquiries and helpful information to guide you.
What causes mini dental implant complications?
Mini dental implant complications can be caused by various factors, including:
Implant overloading: Mini dental implants are designed to support smaller prosthetics, such as single crowns or small bridges. If the implant is subjected to excessive biting forces or is used to support a larger prosthetic than it was designed for, it can lead to implant failure or damage to the surrounding bone and tissues.
Poor oral hygiene: Failing to maintain good oral hygiene habits, such as regular brushing and flossing, can lead to the buildup of plaque and bacteria around the implant. This can cause gum inflammation (peri-implantitis) and eventual implant failure if left untreated.
Smoking: Smoking can impair the healing process following implant placement and increase the risk of implant failure. The chemicals in tobacco smoke can interfere with the osseointegration process, in which the implant fuses with the surrounding bone.
Inadequate bone quality or quantity: Mini dental implants require sufficient bone volume and density to achieve a stable and secure fit. If the jawbone is too thin, soft, or damaged, it may not provide enough support for the implant, leading to complications or failure.
Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or osteoporosis, can interfere with the healing process and increase the risk of implant complications. These conditions can compromise the body’s ability to fight infection and promote healthy bone growth around the implant.
Improper implant placement: If the mini dental implant is not placed accurately or at the correct angle, it can lead to complications such as implant loosening, damage to adjacent teeth or nerves, or difficulties with the final prosthetic restoration.
Allergic reactions: In rare cases, some patients may experience an allergic reaction to the materials used in mini dental implants, such as titanium. This can cause inflammation, implant failure, and other complications.
To minimize the risk of mini dental implant complications, it is essential to choose an experienced implant dentist, maintain good oral hygiene habits, and follow all post-operative instructions closely. Regular follow-up visits with your dentist can also help identify and address any potential issues early on, ensuring the long-term success of your mini dental implant treatment.
