When to get minimally invasive dental implants
When to consider minimally invasive dental implants
Few missing teeth
For example, if only one tooth is missing, minimally invasive procedures can quickly repair it, resulting in a small wound and rapid recovery.
Good gum and bone condition
With sufficient bone volume and healthy gums, no bone grafting or gingival transplantation is needed.
Older but healthy
For those who are afraid of pain or do not want to disrupt their daily lives, and who do not want to endure the trauma of traditional surgery, minimally invasive surgery results in less bleeding and less swelling.
High requirements for appearance
Minimally invasive techniques can preserve the shape of the gums, resulting in high postoperative aesthetics, and are suitable for anterior dental implants.

The biggest difference between traditional dental implants and minimally invasive dental implants lies in the surgical method, degree of trauma, recovery speed, and applicable patients.
| Comparison direction | Traditional dental implants | Minimally invasive dental implants |
| wound size | Large wound | Small wound |
| Surgical risks | Wounds exposed to air for extended periods are more susceptible to infection. | The surgery is quick and less likely to result in infection. |
| Surgery time | longer | shorter |
| pain and swelling | More prone to swelling and pain | Lower levels of discomfort such as swelling and pain |
| Does bone grafting need to be done? | When there is a defect in the alveolar bone, it can be repaired at the same time. | When alveolar bone is insufficient, large-scale bone grafting is not possible. |
| Doctor's medical skills | normal | High requirements |

Yes, it's necessary. After minimally invasive dental implantation, a crown is usually required. This is the final step in the entire implantation process and is crucial for restoring normal chewing and aesthetics. The implant is merely a replacement for the tooth root; the implanted bone is just the "foundation." A crown is needed on top to complete the tooth. Furthermore, the crown can withstand biting forces, allowing you to eat normally, and it also protects the implant, distributes pressure, and reduces the risk of implant damage.
Minimally invasive dental implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia and is virtually painless. Mild swelling or discomfort may occur post-surgery, but this usually subsides within 1–3 days.
Normally, patients can drink water 6 hours after minimally invasive dental implant surgery, eat soft foods within 1-2 days, and resume a normal diet after about a week.
- Regular follow-up appointments are necessary for the dentist to check the condition of the implants.
- In the initial stages, avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods to prevent putting pressure on the dental implants.
- Avoid smoking, as it can interfere with the healing process and increase the risk of infection.
- Avoid using your teeth to open bottles or bite hard objects to prevent damage to dental implants.
- If you experience persistent pain, swelling, or bleeding, contact your dentist immediately.
