Sometimes life can be so hectic that it feels like you’re always running out of time. Between busy work schedules, appointments, and family events, it can feel almost impossible to make time for other things! Unfortunately, important things like taking care of your smile often fall by the wayside. Missing teeth usually require multiple appointments over several months to restore, which may not be feasible for everyone. However, at Brockley Dental Center, we understand that attending numerous appointments and spending long hours at the dentist can be difficult to commit to. Fortunately, we offer fast and convenient dentistry that focuses on your satisfaction and health. Using mini dental implants, we can restore your missing teeth in a day! With just one appointment, you can have a fully functional smile without the hassle of traditional tooth replacement methods.
Why Is it Important To Replace Missing Teeth?
So, why should missing teeth be a priority for you?
While many people believe that missing a tooth is just an inconvenience, it actually has a much larger effect on your oral and overall health! Natural teeth have roots that hold them in place, embedded in your jawbone. When you bite or chew, these roots press down into the bone, stimulating it. This stimulation is a vital process that keeps your jaw healthy and full. Without it, your jawbone will undergo bone resorption, which is the process of losing bone mass and volume over time.
Unfortunately, the longer you wait to replace these tooth roots, the more your jawbone will shrink. This often leads to the skin around your lips wrinkling, sunken cheeks, and even a gradual change in facial structure!
While traditional tooth replacement options do replace your smile, they fail to replace your roots, allowing resorption to continue affecting your jawbone. To restore your smile and replace your missing tooth roots, you need dental implants! These titanium posts replace your tooth roots, both securing your smile in place while also stimulating your jaw to maintain its structure!
How We Restore Your Teeth in a Day
Traditional dental implants are a common type of implant that replaces missing teeth. However, their multi-piece construction requires a lengthy procedure that spans several months and involves multiple appointments. With this complex process, patients often find themselves without functional teeth for extended periods, waiting for their next appointment.
Additionally, many patients with minimal jaw structure due to bone resorption are ineligible for traditional implants! The placement process requires ample jawbone, meaning many patients must undergo an additional procedure to restore their lost bone, adding to both the length and cost of restoring their smile.
Fortunately, we offer a different type of dental implant at Brockley Dental Center!
Mini dental implants are the smaller, sleeker version of traditional implants. Despite their smaller size, they are just as effective as the large-diameter implants, with much less hassle! These implants are less than 3 mm in diameter and feature a sleek, one-piece design that allows for easy placement!
Without the need for an incision or sutures, we can simply create a small pilot hole through your gums and into your jawbone and gently screw the implant post in place.
This minimally invasive process allows for much faster healing and uses less bone. Usually, patients who are ineligible for traditional implants can still get mini dental implants, even without a bone graft!
Because they preserve the tissues surrounding your implant and due to their threaded design, mini implants have the potential for immediate loading. After placement, these implants bond with your bone to create a strong connection. With this secure foundation, we can attach a temporary (or in some cases final) restoration immediately, allowing us to restore your teeth in a day!
