If you’ve ever considered dental implants before, you likely know that a healthy and strong jawbone is essential. Because these implants embed in your bone to stay secure, they require a strong jaw for a foundation. However, not everyone has enough bone in their jaw to support dental implants, requiring them to undergo additional preparatory procedures before implant treatment. If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for dental implants, you might be wondering: “What can I do?”
Well, at Brent Bradford, DDS, we offer mini dental implants as a smaller alternative to conventional implants! With these small titanium posts, you can restore your smile with minimal bone structure.
The Importance of Jaw Health
Natural teeth have roots that stick into your gums and jawbone. These roots not only keep your smile secure, but they also provide stimulation to your jaw when you bite or chew. This stimulation is vital to jawbone health, helping keep it full and dense. After losing teeth, you lose out on stimulation, causing your jaw to gradually lose mass and volume.
With a shrinking jaw, patients may experience issues like:
- Changes to your bite and face shape
- Excessive wrinkling around the mouth
- Headaches, facial pain, and jaw pain
- Shifting or loosening teeth
- Ill-fitting denture restorations
Additionally, less jaw structure means you may have a more difficult time restoring your smile with implantes dentales. If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for implant treatment, it may feel like you’re out of luck. But don’t give up yet!
Brent Bradford, DDS, offers another solution to restore your smile.
What To Do if I Don’t Have Enough Bone for Dental Implants
Conventional dental implants are large and require ample bone for support. Fortunately, they’re not the only implant solution out there.
En Brent Bradford, DDS, ofrecemos miniimplantes dentales as well! These small titanium posts require significantly less jawbone, allowing many patients who couldn’t restore their smiles to do so.
While additional procedures like bone grafts and sinus lifts rebuild lost bone structure, they also add to the price and length of your treatment. For patients who want to avoid the hassle, mini implants are an excellent option!
These narrow-diameter implants typically allow patients to skip the bone graft or sinus lift, as they fit in minimal bone. Without the need for as many preparatory procedures, mini implants also end up being less expensive than their conventional counterparts.
However, not everyone is eligible for mini implants. To learn if you’re a good candidate for their minimally invasive procedure, you need to schedule a free implant consultation!
There, we will assess your bone quality and determine what the best solution is for your smile. Using a Radiografía digital 3D, we plan your treatment during your first visit and provide an overview of the timeline and cost.
If you’ve been told you don’t have enough bone for dental implants, we recommend trying mini dental implants instead. These titanium posts are just as reliable as conventional implants, but with less of the hassle.
