Spanish Rome wasn’t built in a day, but what if we could rebuild your smile in just one appointment? Unlike the ancient Romans, we have innovative technology that allows us to accelerate the implant placement process. While dental implants are notorious for long healing periods and multiple appointments, mini dental implants totally change the game! These small titanium posts let patients like you skip most of the waiting and restore their smiles in just one day. To discover if the dental implants in a day process is right for your smile, come in for a free implant consultation!
Dental Implants in a Day With Mini Implants
If most dental implants take months to place, some may wonder how same-day dental implants are possible.
Conventional dental implants are strong titanium screws that secure into your jawbone to anchor tooth restorations. These include prosthetics such as dental crowns, bridges, or dentures, all of which replace missing teeth.
However, the large size of a conventional implant requires an invasive placement process. This procedure involves making an incision in your gums, using sutures, and creating an opening in your jaw with a series of large drills. Unfortunately, conventional implant placement disrupts the tissues surrounding the implant, significantly slowing healing.
In about 6 to 9 months, your implant will be stable enough in your jawbone to support the second implant piece, the abutment. Placing this component requires another procedural appointment and additional healing time before your final restoration is ready.
In contrast, mini dental implants are much smaller and have a unique one-piece design.
Due to their size, Dr. Bradford uses a minimally invasive approach for placement, preserving the surrounding tissues! This allows for faster healing and, in combination with the implant’s threaded design, the potential for immediate use.
Once a mini implant is in your jawbone, it immediately integrates with the bone, becoming stable enough for a restoration. And the whole process takes only one appointment!
Understanding the Benefits of Mini Implants
If conventional dental implants need months to stabilize, can mini implants really be just as effective in one day?
Many people believe that dental implants in a day is too good to be true. In reality, mini implants are just designed to integrate with your bone faster than conventional implants!
With similar success rates to conventional implants, you don’t have to worry about implants in a day being a less effective system. If anything, there are various advantages to this one-day implant system that mini implants provide.
Additionally, mini implants provide other advantages due to their simple structure and smaller size.
- Simpler healing: The more invasive placement process of conventional implants doesn’t just require a longer healing period. This process is also more difficult for some patients to recover from. Older adults and those with frail bones are at a higher risk for complications, and healing from invasive procedures is often difficult for them. Fortunately, mini dental implants are a minimally invasive alternative that avoids incisions or stitches.
- Simpler price: Conventional implants are generally expensive due to their multi-piece design and the various appointments required for placement. But because mini dental implants have only one piece and require fewer appointments, they save you both time and money.
- Simpler procedure: After tooth loss, you tend to lose a lot of jawbone structure. Unfortunately, this bone is vital for implant placement, making many patients ineligible for conventional implant procedures. While bone grafts can rebuild lost bone, they add to the length and price of your procedure. Fortunately, mini implants are much smaller in size and require less jawbone for placement. Most patients are still eligible for mini implant procedures, even if they are ineligible for conventional implants.
