Did you know that nearly 3 million people in the US have dental implants? The concept of dental implants dates back thousands of years. Of course, we wouldn’t expect you to seek out thousand-year-old technology for your dental needs! Modern advancements have made dental implants more effective, less invasive, and more affordable than ever. Among these innovations, mini dental implants stand out as a remarkable option. They offer the same benefits as traditional implants but are smaller, simpler, and easier to place. So, if you need to replace a missing tooth, we encourage you to consider a mini implant!
What Is a Mini Implant?
A mini dental implant is an exciting alternative to a conventional dental implant. It’s an ideal solution for patients looking for a faster, simpler, and less invasive dental procedure with all of the positive attributes of a traditional implant.
As their name suggests, these innovative implants measure just half the width of a standard implant. And they can be inserted into the jawbone with very little discomfort because of their small size. Our minimally invasive technique makes the placement process far easier and allows you to leave our office smiling beautifully that very same day!
Mini implants have many uses, including replacing damaged teeth with dentures, bridges, or crowns. They can also be used to stabilize your current ill-fitting dentures.
These narrow-diameter implants are perfect for patients seeking a less-invasive procedure to replace missing teeth. Due to their smaller size, you’ll experience less discomfort and a significantly faster recovery!
Why Should You Choose a Mini Implant?
Opting for a mini implant over a traditional dental implant offers many benefits. These advantages include:
- Minimally invasive procedure: We can insert these small implants into your jaw without disrupting the surrounding tissue like conventional implants do.
- More rapid healing time: Whereas traditional implants can take months to heal, a mini implant yields immediate results.
- Increased comfort: Mini implants provide a secure, stable fit that enhances comfort and makes it easier to speak and eat confidently. You won’t have to worry about your bridge or denture shifting or falling out any longer!
- Reduced cost: The smaller size and streamlined design of mini implants make them significantly less expensive than traditional implants.
The Mini Implant Process
The process of placing mini implants is far simpler than with traditional implants. We begin with a free consultation. You’ll meet with one of the skilled dentists from our family practice, proudly representing three generations of dental expertise.
Once we’ve carefully examined and planned the appropriate course of action, confirming that mini implants are the best solution for your unique needs, we’ll drill a very small hole and place the implant into your jawbone. This provides a sturdy foundation for your replacement tooth or teeth. We can attach temporary replacement teeth the same day as the procedure so you can walk out the door smiling in a single session!
How Mini Implants Save You Time and Money
A significant benefit of a mini implant is that the placement procedure can often be completed in one appointment, saving you the cost of multiple sessions. And the implants themselves are far less expensive than traditional implants. You still may have anxiety about your ability to afford these implants, but don’t worry—we can work out financing options to make this solution manageable. And with mini implants, you will save on the future costs of denture replacement and adjustments. This will save you even more money in the long run.
