Spanish The singer Tom Petty once said, “The waiting is the hardest part.” When it comes to medical or dental treatments, waiting can be stressful. Whether you’re anxious in the days leading up to the procedure or are in the middle of a lengthy healing process, it’s frustrating to let the days tick by. But what if we told you there’s a way to replace missing teeth and improve your oral health in just one day? Thanks to the innovation of mini dental implants, same day teeth are no longer a dream—they’re a reality.
How Are Same Day Teeth Possible?
There are many options for replacing missing teeth, but dental implants have been one of the most popular over the past half-century. Dental implants are titanium posts that we secure in your jawbone to provide a more stable foundation for replacement teeth like bridges, crowns, and dentures.
However, traditional implants have some disadvantages. They typically require a multi-stage placement and healing process that extends over several months. Also, because of their large size, they often require a bone grafting procedure to reinforce the jaw, which adds even more time to the process. They do provide a stable base for tooth replacement, but they don’t come close to the promise of same day teeth.
On the other hand, mini dental implants are much smaller and designed for the efficient placement and immediate loading of new teeth. Rather than the gum incisions required for larger implants, mini implants only need a tiny pilot hole to be drilled for us to place them. While it takes them about three weeks to completely fuse with the jawbone, we can load mini implants with new teeth immediately after placement. This advancement means patients can walk out with a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing smile in just one day.
The Benefits of Mini Dental Implants
Using mini dental implants as the base for same day teeth not only provides immediate results but also offers several advantages over larger implants:
- Minimally invasive placement: Larger implants require surgical techniques like incisions and stitches, but mini dental implants don’t. Our minimally invasive approach makes the procedure faster and more comfortable.
- Quick recovery: Mini implants allow for a faster recovery, with only minimal discomfort that subsides quickly. They only require a few weeks to fuse with the bone, not several months.
- High reliability: These implants demonstrate high success rates comparable to traditional implants, giving you the same reliability without lengthy healing times.
- Affordability: Mini dental implants cost less than traditional implants, owing to the simplified procedure and fewer required visits. This cost reduction makes them a more viable option for a wider range of patients.
