Understanding Dental Implants
There are a variety of options available to replace missing teeth, such as traditional bridges and dentures. However, unlike other solutions, dental implants do more than just replace missing teeth.
Natural teeth have roots that embed in your jawbone, keeping them secure. But when you lose a tooth, you also lose its root. Without a root to stimulate your jawbone when you bite or chew, your bone structure will begin to deteriorate, causing other issues with your oral and overall health. A dental implant is the only tooth replacement option that preserves your bone health while also restoring your smile.
A dental implant is a titanium post we place in the jawbone to provide a strong foundation for crowns, bridges, and dentures.
Traditional dental implants are about 5 millimeters in diameter and have multiple components. To secure these implants, an incision must first be made in the gums to reveal the bone underneath. Then, using a series of larger and larger drills, a hole is made in the jawbone that’s big enough to fit the implant.
Unfortunately, this process is invasive and time-consuming, as each component must be placed at separate appointments between healing periods. Many patients don’t have time to wait for their replacement teeth, and those who’re afraid of invasive procedures want to avoid implants altogether.
At Brockley Dental Center, we understand worries about invasive and lengthy procedures. And with mini dental implants, we can help all patients restore their smiles without worry!
The Benefit of a Mini Implant
Mini dental implants are the smaller and sleeker implant option that many patients favor. Thanks to their sleek one-piece design and small diameter, more patients than ever can enjoy a fully restored smile. Additionally, these narrow-diameter implants are just as secure as traditional ones, despite their smaller stature. If anything, mini implants have numerous benefits over their more conventional counterparts, including:
- Smaller diameter: Traditional dental implants are large and require a significant amount of bone support. Many patients with missing teeth lack sufficient bone to secure implants, as tooth loss has caused their jaw to shrink over time. Fortunately, mini implants have a smaller diameter, requiring much less bone! This makes more patients eligible for mini implant treatment.
- One-piece design: Thanks to their sleek structure, mini implants don’t need multiple appointments. Instead, we place your implant in a single appointment and immediately secure a temporary (or sometimes final!) restoration on top.
Minimally invasive placement: Unlike traditional implants, which require an invasive placement procedure, mini implants use a much less invasive process. After making a small pilot hole in your jawbone, we then place the implant inside. Once in place, your implant will immediately begin stabilizing in your jaw.- Faster healing: Because of their minimally invasive process, mini implants heal much faster. Rather than waiting months before securing a final crown, bridge, or denture, mini implants support a final restoration in just a few weeks!
- More affordable: With only one component, one placement appointment, and a much simpler procedure, mini implants are often half the cost of traditional implants.
