Same-Day Teeth in Butler, PA | Trust Mini Dental Implant Solutions

The more you practice a skill, the better and faster you’ll be able to perform it. Those attending piano lessons every week gradually develop their talents, allowing them to play the keys faster than before. Olympic runners often spend their entire lives training to become as fast as possible to win that coveted gold medal. No matter what you’re practicing, over time, you’re skills will improve, and the time it takes to accomplish your goals will lessen. The same is true for implant dentists. With the right tools and a practiced hand, many dentists can effectively and efficiently perform routine dental procedures to improve the health and appearance of your smile! At Brockley Dental Center, our experienced dentists utilize mini dental implants to restore missing teeth, allowing them to provide same-day teeth replacement transformations!

Using Mini Implants for Same-Day Teeth

When you are missing teeth, it’s important to restore them with artificial tooth restorations as soon as possible. The longer you go without teeth, the more you risk your oral health and your ability to restore your smile down the line.

Same-Day Teeth in Butler, PA | Trust Mini Dental Implant SolutionsDental implants are an incredible way to replace these missing teeth, as they secure directly in your jawbone for a stable fit! At Brockley Dental Center, we use mini dental implants to anchor restorations, rather than their conventional counterparts. We prefer these narrow-diameter implants for patients like you due to the various advantages they provide! These advantages include:

  • Minimally invasive: Due to their smaller size, we place mini implants using a minimally invasive approach that preserves the tissues surrounding your implant. This gentle procedure helps facilitate faster healing and a simpler process!
  • Cost-Effective: Mini implants have fewer parts, therefore requiring fewer appointments. This helps you save money, as you’ll have less to pay for when restoring your smile!
  • Same-Day Teeth: These narrow-diameter implants have a unique threaded design that works similarly to a self-tapping screw. This design, in combination with a minimally invasive process, allows us to use mini implants to provide same-day teeth! In just one appointment, we will place your implants and secure a temporary restoration on them!

Unlike conventional dental implants that require long and invasive surgeries, mini implants restore your smile in one day without all the hassle.

The Same-Day Teeth Process

The mini implant placement process is simple.

First, we use a local anesthetic to numb the area, ensuring you’re comfortable and relaxed throughout the procedure. Next, we create a small pilot hole in your gums and jaw, about the width of a toothpick. Using the hole as a guide, we carefully screw the implant in place, where it will stabilize in your jawbone.

Because dental implants are made from biocompatible titanium, they interact well with living bone. Over time, your jaw and your implant will integrate to create an incredibly stable connection through osseointegration. However, mini dental implants accelerate the osseointegration process, as their minimally invasive procedure allows faster healing!

Immediately after placement, these implants are stable enough in your jawbone to support a temporary or, in some cases, final restoration. This process allows same-day teeth to be possible, as you come into our office without teeth and leave the same appointment with a full and beautiful smile!

Amazingly, these temporary restorations are functional, allowing you to eat most foods without issue. While some discomfort or soreness is common in the days following your same-day teeth procedure, it is easily manageable with over-the-counter medications.

Dental implants are designed to support artificial crowns, bridges, and dentures.

A dental crown replaces just one missing tooth, often using only one mini implant for support. Sometimes, multiple implant crown placements are necessary to restore multiple missing teeth, but this isn’t always the case.

A mini implant bridge replaces multiple missing teeth in a row to restore your smile.

Dental bridges replace multiple teeth, but only if they’re in a row. Often, patients lose teeth due to decay or infection, which spreads from tooth to tooth. This may result in having a row of missing teeth that require a dental bridge for replacement!

While we do provide traditional dental bridges to span the gap between your teeth, these restorations require the use of your healthy teeth on either side for stability. In contrast, an implant bridge doesn’t affect your healthy remaining teeth at all. Instead, it relies on mini implants to keep it in place!

Implant dentures provide incredible stability that far surpasses the security and function of traditional dentures. Using mini implants for support, you can stabilize your smile and enjoy a beautiful, natural-looking, and effective bite.

Donald B. Brockley, DMD

Dr. Brockley earned his doctorate degree in Dental Medicine from the University of Pittsburgh, School of Dental Medicine in 1972. He is a second generation dentist and a legacy of the University of Pittsburgh, School of Dental Medicine where his father, Dr. Charles R. Brockley earned his doctorate in general dentistry in the year 1927. While attending the University of Pittsburgh, School of Dental Medicine, he held the office of Class Secretary for his graduating class. Following dental school, he chose to do his residency training at Wilmington Medical Center in Wilmington, Delaware, with a focus on research. Upon completing his residency, Dr. Brockley enlisted in the Navy during the Vietnam War Era as a Naval Officer. Dr. Brockley opened his own private practice 1975 in Butler, PA a historic town just 34 miles north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dr. Brockley held the office of President of the Butler County Dental Society. After many years of practice, Dr. Brockley realized that fear is the #1 reason why people do not visit their dentist regularly. Therefore, he made it his mission to find an alternative way to practice (and to help his patients overcome this fear). This alternative was through Sedation Dentistry. In 1996 he became trained in Conscious Oral Sedation. This technique allowed him to treat fearful patients by gently putting them to sleep with the aid of a pill, not needle IV sedation which was the popular treatment at that time. Dr. Brockley received his dental training at the following institutions: University of Pittsburgh, School of Dental Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA Tufts University, School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA University of North Carolina, School of Dentistry, Raleigh, NC Mini Dental Implant Training Centre, Buffalo, NY. Due to the high number of patients who are diabetic in his practice, his next goal was to understand the impact of Diabetes in Dentistry. Due to the subset of Diabetic patients in his practice who had similar recurring oral and systemic health problems, special attention became warranted. This led to a different standard of care and treatment for patients whose health was compromised by diabetes. Early detection, observation, evaluation and treatment to eradicate infection plays a major role in maintaining oral health for diabetic patients. Poorly managed treatment for diabetic patients has been shown to lead to a higher risk of uncontrolled gum disease and vice versa, making prevention of gum disease the #1 priority for this subset of patients. Dr. Brockley’s research on dentistry for diabetics led him to his next specialization: the treatment and eradication of gum disease. His aim has been to change the the treatment of gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. For this reason, he designed a radically different protocol to the Soft Tissue Management (STM) program. STM treats the symptoms of gum disease, and more importantly, the underlying cause of gum disease, bacteria. Studies have shown that gum disease affects 80% of American adults. However, Dr. Brockley has observed that more than 90% of his baby boomer patients have gum disease. His unique STM protocol has shown significant success within his patient population. With patient knowledge, understanding, and cooperation, Dr. Brockley is able to arrest and manage gum disease in his practice. After perfecting his procedures for crowns, bridges, partials and dentures to replace missing teeth, the introduction of Small Diameter Implants (also known as SDI or Mini Dental Implants) into his practice has revolutionized the way Dr. Brockley practices cosmetic dentistry. Small Diameter Implants provide the possibility of full mouth restoration, multiple teeth restoration, or single tooth restoration. Small Diameter Implants can be implemented in all types of tooth and bone conditions, in all ages, and in all types of health conditions. Dr. Brockley uses Small Diameter Implants to restore chewing ability and create beautiful smiles, which ultimately changes peoples’ lives. Dr. Brockley is the proud owner and operator of the first Mini Dental Implant Center of America in the Greater Pittsburgh area. Dr. Brockley has achieved Diplomate status in the International Academy of Mini Dental Implants. He is the President Emeritus of the Butler County Dental Society. Dr. Brockley was also a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy Dental Corps. He is a a lifetime member of the Delta Sigma Dental Fraternity, and he was the Class Secretary for the University of Pittsburgh Dental School. Dr. Brockley likes to spend time with his family at home or while traveling, has been an avid scuba diver since 1980, and describes himself as a “just okay” golfer.
