Spanish One of the most common concerns we get from patients like you at Brent Bradford, DDS, is about cost. A significant determining factor in the price of a procedure is your personal dental insurance coverage. For most dental procedures, insurance companies will provide at least some coverage. However, not every procedure receives the same treatment. Dental implants, for example, are typically not covered by dental insurance, as they are seen as a cosmetic procedure. Unfortunately, this takes restoring missing teeth off the table for some patients, as they can’t afford the out-of-pocket price! Fortunately, Brent Bradford, DDS, offers dental implant financing through trusted third-party financing companies.
The Importance of Replacing Missing Teeth
A natural tooth has two portions to its structure. First is the crown, which appears in your smile. However, the second portion lies below your gum line, embedded into your jawbone. Tooth roots are secure in your jaw to keep your smile in place, while also providing important stimulation for jawbone health. When you lose these teeth, you lose stimulation, resulting in bone resorption—or the loss of bone mass and volume.
Gradually, these changes in bone structure will result in unfortunate consequences, such as:
Wrinkly skin: As your jawbone shrinks, the skin around your mouth may begin to sag or wrinkle. This can result in excessive wrinkling around your lips and a sunken-cheek look.- Changing facial structure: While you may not notice at first, your facial structure may gradually change as your jaw deteriorates.
- Loose denture: Traditional dentures may replace your crowns, but they do not replace your roots. This allows bone resorption to continue underneath your prosthetic, leading to your dentures loosening over time.
Only dental implant solutions both replace teeth and tooth roots, creating a stable foundation for your restoration! Unfortunately, many patients consider dental implants to be too expensive, as they’re made from high-quality titanium. Thankfully, Brent Bradford, DDS, offers a more affordable solution.
Understanding Mini Dental Implants
Mini dental implants are the smaller and sleeker version of conventional implants. With these narrow titanium posts, we can restore your smile with a crown, bridge, or denture at a significantly lower price.
The majority of the benefits that mini implants provide are due to their unique structure. Because of their small diameter, we utilize a minimally invasive placement process that facilitates faster healing. Additionally, their one-piece design allows us to place mini implants in a single appointment!
In combination with their unique threaded structure, using a minimally invasive procedure allows mini implants to instantly stabilize in your jaw upon placement. Immediately after placing a mini implant, it becomes secure enough in your jaw to support a temporary or—in some cases—final restoration. With this efficient process, you can restore your smile with mini implants in just one day!
Fewer appointments, fewer components, and a minimally invasive process make mini implants a more affordable option for most patients.
