Breaking Down Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium screws that we place directly into your jawbone. As artificial tooth roots, they provide a sturdy anchor point to attach dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, and dentures.
This stable connection gives your new teeth greater strength than older tooth replacement solutions. However, conventional dental implants do have important drawbacks.
Conventional implants are large in diameter and have a multi-piece design. Their size requires us to use a relatively invasive placement procedure that involves making an incision in your gums to access your jaw. Additionally, conventional implants use a significant amount of jawbone structure for support, which many patients don’t have. In most cases, patients will need to undergo additional procedures, like a bone graft, to qualify for large-diameter implants.
But with their multi-piece design, multiple placement appointments, and likely bone graft, conventional implants become expensive.
Fortunately, mini dental implants are a more affordable option that reduces the number of components and appointments to pay for.
What Makes Mini Dental Implants Worth Their Cost?
Mini dental implants are much more cost-effective than conventional implants. But they are still made of the same high-quality titanium, making them just as effective. Even if the cost of mini implants gives you pause, most patients find mini implant treatment to be worth the investment in their smile.
These small-diameter screws have several unique features and advantages over traditional implants.
- Minimally invasive: Mini implants require only a tiny pilot hole in your gums and bone to place. This procedure is much less invasive than the conventional implant process, which requires incisions and stitches.
- Less discomfort: With their sleek design and minimally invasive placement, patients generally experience less discomfort after their procedure.
- Faster healing: Mini implants fuse with your jawbone in just 21 days, which is faster than the month-long stabilization process of conventional implant treatment.
- More versatile: Mini implants may be an ideal solution for patients who have already lost bone density in their jaw, and Dr. Bradford can often place them without the need for bone grafting.
- Added stability: Because of their narrow diameter, Dr. Bradford can fit more mini implants in your jawbone. This allows for excellent stability for your restorations.
- Lower cost: Due to their faster healing time, lower manufacturing costs, and fewer follow-up appointments, mini implants are more affordable than traditional implants.
At your free implant consultation, Dr. Bradford will perform a thorough dental exam and take a 3D X-ray of your smile. From there, he will determine if you are eligible for mini dental implants and design a custom treatment plan.
