Mini Dental Implants in Liverpool, NY [Video Walkthrough]

Were you told you’re ineligible for dental implants? At many dental offices, dentists only offer one type of implant: a traditional dental implant. But to be a good candidate for these titanium screws, you need ample jawbone structure that many patients don’t have. But at Brent Bradford, DDS, we have a solution. Using mini dental implants, we offer patients in Liverpool and beyond the opportunity to restore their smile without all the hassle. Mini implants are less invasive, less time-consuming, and less expensive than their traditional counterparts. And even better, mini implants require less bone, making them more accessible for a wider variety of patients.

Breaking Down Dental Implants

Dental implants are screws made of durable titanium. To restore missing teeth, we anchor these metal posts inside your jawbone. Because titanium is biocompatible, these screws are able to integrate with your jaw to form a strong connection. Using this connection, we anchor tooth replacement options like crowns, bridges, and dentures.

Additionally, once in your jaw, implants replace your missing tooth roots. These screws stimulate your bone every time you bite or chew, keeping it healthy and preventing bone loss. But in the time you’ve been without teeth, you likely lost a significant amount of bone structure.

Without enough bone, patients are no longer eligible for traditional implants. Most often, these patients need additional procedures like a bone graft to rebuild lost bone. But bone grafts add to both the cost and timeline of your procedure.

For patients without enough bone or money for traditional dental implants, Brent Bradford, DDS, offers a solution! At our office in Liverpool, we offer mini dental implants. These small titanium posts are about half the size of traditional implants, but just as successful!

Why Mini Dental Implants May Be a Better Option for Liverpool Patients

Beyond requiring less bone, mini dental implants provide a variety of benefits for patients.

• Procedure: Mini implants have a sleek, one-piece design, meaning we need only one appointment to place them. In contrast with the multiple visits required to place traditional implants, this process is quicker, minimally invasive, and much less hassle.
• Recovery: Because mini implant treatment is minimally invasive, patients typically heal much faster. Rather than waiting months for your implant to integrate, most mini implant patients only need to wait about 21 days. Immediately after placement, mini implant patients also experience less post-operative discomfort.
• Protection: Traditional dental implants have a multi-piece design. Over time, bacteria can get in between these parts, potentially leading to an infection called peri-implantitis. Mini implants have a one-piece design. Thanks to their sleek structure, bacteria can’t collect around these implants, significantly lowering your risk of peri-implantitis.
• Cost: Mini dental implants are single-piece, require only one appointment, and typically don’t need a bone graft. These advantages make them much more affordable than their traditional counterparts.

Of course, not everyone is eligible for mini implant treatment either. In some cases, patients may benefit from traditional-sized implants. To learn what implant option is best for your smile, book a free consultation with us in Liverpool, NY.
