Spanish Smiling is one of the first expressions we learn as babies, often before we’re even aware of it. Developmentally, smiling is important to human behavior as it allows us to communicate and connect with others. But if a smile is so powerful, why do so many people hide theirs? For many, it’s due to self-consciousness. Even children as young as 4 years old can feel sensitive about their smiles. As we grow, dissatisfaction with our teeth can make us hesitant to show them. Something as natural and essential as a smile can become a source of insecurity, especially if issues like decay or tooth loss arise. At the Mini Dental Implant Center of America in Syracuse, NY, Dr. Bradford understands the importance of a confident smile. That’s why he offers mini implants, a tooth replacement solution that restores oral function and improves your smile’s appearance.
The Unique Features of a Mini Implant
Mini implants are small, one-piece titanium posts less than 3 millimeters in diameter. Despite their size, they’re incredibly versatile, allowing Dr. Bradford to use them to provide strong support for crowns, bridges, and dentures.
An important advantage of mini dental implants is their efficiency. In most cases, transforming your smile takes just a single appointment. To place a mini implant, Dr. Bradford drills a small pilot hole into the gums and carefully threads the implant into the bone.
These implants allow for “immediate loading,” meaning the implant post provides strong initial stability, allowing a prosthetic to be attached right away. With mini implants, you don’t have to wait for the implants to heal for months and months before your prosthetic can be attached. In fact, Dr. Bradford can place your custom denture the same day he places the implants!
Unlike traditional implants, which are typically twice as wide, mini implants are minimally invasive. Their narrow diameter and one-piece design allow Dr. Bradford to place them without incisions or long healing periods. Mini implants fully heal in under a month, while traditional implants can take 6-9 months.
Dr. Bradford offers these implants because he believes in providing his patients with the best treatment options available!
The Cosmetic Benefits of a Mini Implant
Mini dental implants not only restore your ability to chew but also beautifully enhance your smile! Since smiling is such an important human expression, this benefit can’t be overstated.
A Beautiful, Natural Appearance
A missing tooth does more than just affect oral function—it impacts your confidence, too. No matter your age, the ability to smile confidently can be incredibly valuable. A gap in your smile makes that much more difficult.
Mini implants replace missing teeth, eliminating gaps and making your smile look seamless. The freedom of a complete smile is important, and Dr. Bradford is here to help!
We offer restorations crafted from zirconia, a durable material that we can match to your natural teeth or, for full dentures, to the shade you prefer. Your new teeth will blend seamlessly, creating a natural look that won’t draw attention. With a restoration that looks just like real teeth, there’s no need to feel self-conscious!
A Boost in Self-Confidence
How you feel about your smile has a big impact on your self-esteem. When you’re confident, you smile more often, which can boost your mood and self-image. Smiling releases neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, which are key to enhancing well-being. In other words, the more you smile, the happier you may feel!
Dr. Bradford understands the importance of a confident smile for your mental health and overall well-being. That’s why he uses mini implants to restore your smile and help you feel whole again.
