Implant dentistry has created numerous options for restoring
missing teeth. Single and multiple dental implants, as well as
implant-supported dentures and bridges have given patients with missing teeth a
reason to smile again. Now on the rise, as another advancement in implant
dentistry, are mini dental implants, which have been giving patients new smiles
in ways that traditional, full-sized dental implants haven’t.
If you are interested in replacing one or more missing teeth
with dental implants, consider the benefits of mini dental implants first by
reading our list below!
Mini dental implants
are less invasive
The technology used for mini dental implants allows the implants
to be placed in a way much less invasive than traditional dental implants. A
controlled technique is used that inserts the implant directly into the jaw.
This additional peace of mind works well for patients who are anxious about
receiving a surgical procedure.
Mini dental implants are
placed quickly
Due to their minimally invasive nature, mini dental implants
can be placed in one short visit to the dentist. Although each patient’s case
differs, it is possible to walk out of your first visit to the dentist’s office
with a brand new smile!
Mini dental implants
are more affordable
Because mini dental implants are small and placed quickly,
the cost for the entire procedure is less than receiving traditional dental
implants. The smaller implants are easier to manufacture, making them more
affordable.
Mini dental implants
provide additional stability
Typically, mini dental implants are used to provide support
for full-arch dentures. Some patients may be self-conscious about their dentures
slipping out, having food limitations, or are tired of using messy denture
adhesives, but with mini dental implants, denture wearers can secure their
false teeth by having implants placed that snap into housing structures located
on the denture.
Mini dental implants
work for low jawbone density
Patients who are interested in receiving dental implants may
be turned away due to their deteriorating jaw bone. Mini dental implants are
smaller in size and can be placed in low-density jawbones with success,
allowing patients to achieve a healthy smile along with a healthier jawbone.
