Why don't more dentists use mini implants for fixed full arch?

Ma2la21
I'm in Houston, Texas and the cost of a fixed solution for both upper and lower dental implants is extremely high. I've read more then a few articles on mini implants being used for this with great outcomes. Some dentists seem to be uniformed or just simply do not want to use the Mini implants. Anyone have any personal experience with a full arch on MDI's or Small diameter implants? Thanks.
