Spanish One of the most common concerns we hear from our patients at Brent Bradford, DDS, is about pricing. Patients like you want to know what their insurance will cover, the costs of their dental care, and how we can make it more affordable. Fortunately, we are committed to providing affordable healthcare to all patients, regardless of their financial situation. One of the more expensive procedures we offer is dental implants, which allow patients to replace missing teeth. Though costly, this procedure is often necessary and life-changing, as it helps improve function, confidence, and overall health! At Brent Bradford, DDS, we offer the most affordable dental implants available—with no compromise in quality—using mini dental implants.
How Are Dental Implants Life-Changing?
Missing teeth cause a variety of unfortunate issues.
The most obvious problem patients experience is difficulties chewing food. In order to break down food, your smile needs a forceful bite, with your teeth applying even pressure with every chewing motion.
Gaps in your smile reduce the force of your bite, making it more difficult to break down tougher foods. With dental implant-supported restorations, you can restore your bite and eat all the foods you love with no hesitation!
Additionally, missing teeth make some patients feel embarrassed or ashamed of their smile. Often, people hide their smiles behind their hands or suppress laughs to prevent others from seeing their teeth. Eventually, patients may avoid social interaction, isolating themselves from those they love.
Social isolation has negative effects on a patient’s mental health, potentially leading to issues like depression. Replacing missing teeth with implants revitalizes your look, allowing you to smile with confidence.
Perhaps most vital of all, natural teeth have roots that embed into the jawbone. When you chew, these roots stimulate your jaw, keeping it healthy and full. Missing teeth result in less stimulation, which leads to bone resorption, or the loss of bone mass and volume over time! Unfortunately, bone resorption makes replacing your missing teeth challenging, as traditional restorations rely on your jawbone as a foundation. As your jaw resorbs, restorations like traditional dentures loosen, causing them to shift around in your mouth and irritate your gums.
Only dental implants prevent bone resoprtion, as the titanium screws secure into your jaw, acting as artificial tooth roots. With implants in place, you can both replace missing teeth and ensure your jaw remains healthy and full!
What Makes Mini Dental Implants the Most Affordable?
Dental implants transform your smile, but at what cost?
These screws are made from biocompatible titanium, allowing them to form a secure bond with living bone. However, titanium is incredibly high quality, making it an expensive material. Fortunately, Brent Bradford, DDS, offers the most affordable dental implants available with mini dental implants!
Mini implants are small, almost half the size of their conventional counterparts. Not only does this small diameter allow us to use a minimally invasive placement procedure, but it also makes these implants more accessible to those with bone loss!
Conventional dental implants require ample bone structure, which is a problem for many patients due to bone resorption. While we can provide additional procedures to rebuild bone, they add to both the cost and the timeline of your implant treatment. Instead, we encourage patients to try mini dental implants, which fit in minimal bone, often without the need for additional procedures.
Additionally, mini implants have a unique one-piece design, which makes for a much more straightforward placement process. Because they are a single piece of titanium, we place mini implants in your jawbone in one appointment. Immediately after placement, mini implants are instantly secure enough to support a temporary crown, bridge, or denture!
With fewer components, fewer appointments, and fewer additional procedures, mini dental implants are the most affordable implant solution available to patients in Syracuse, NY. During your free consultation, we will review your options, discuss what your insurance may cover, and explore flexible financing plans that fit your budget.
