We Offer Affordable Implants To Replace Missing Teeth

At Brent Bradford, DDS, we understand why cost is a major factor when making decisions. At any moment, all that hard-earned money and responsible financial planning can go down the drain. Car accidents, a flooded basement, and even an unexpected vet bill can make budgeting difficult! Often, your dental care takes a back seat to all the pressing issues that require your mind and wallet. However, we believe that shouldn’t prevent you from getting the dental care you deserve. Brent Bradford, DDS, is proud to offer affordable dental implants to replace your missing teeth! Utilizing mini dental implants, we restore your smile without breaking the bank!

The Mini Dental Implant Difference

Dental implants are titanium posts we place into the jawbone to support restorations. These implants can support a crown to replace a single tooth, a bridge to replace a row of missing teeth, or a denture to replace all your teeth. No matter what restoration you need, dental implants provide a strong foundation as they bond with your bone over time!

At Brent Bradford, DDS, we often prefer to use mini dental implants, as they provide various benefits that conventional implants cannot.

These benefits include:

• Small diameter: Mini implants are less than 3 millimeters in width, about half the size of a conventional implant. Because of their smaller diameter, we use a minimally invasive procedure that doesn’t require an incision or stitches. Instead, we create a small pilot hole through your gums and into your jawbone to secure it in place.
• One-piece design: Unlike conventional implants, which consist of multiple components, mini implants are only one piece. This sleek design not only makes the procedure much simpler but also lowers your risk of peri-implantitis! Peri-implantitis is an infection of the area surrounding an implant and is often the result of bacteria gathering in the seams between parts. Fortunately, mini implants don’t have seams or moving parts, lowering your risk significantly.
• Faster healing: Due to their smaller diameter and minimally invasive process, we can preserve the gum and bone tissues surrounding your implant. This accelerates the healing process, decreasing your waiting period from 6-9 months to just 21 days.

While these benefits are impressive on their own, they also make using mini implants to replace teeth much more affordable than conventional implants!

Affordable Teeth Replacement With Mini Dental Implants

Though both conventional and mini dental implants are effective, there is a big disparity in price. Conventional implants require many components and appointments, making the procedure expensive. In contrast, mini implants have only one piece, which makes them much more affordable!

Due to their smaller size, we also require much less jawbone structure to replace missing teeth with mini implants. This is very beneficial for patients who have lost a lot of jawbone over time due to missing teeth. Without tooth roots to stimulate your jawbone when you bite or chew, your jawbone will lose mass and volume over time. Dental implants, however, replace these roots, preventing bone resorption.

Unfortunately, conventional implants require ample jawbone for support, so many patients with a reduced jawbone density don’t qualify without a bone graft. This additional procedure helps rebuild lost bone but also increases the length and price of your procedure. Thankfully, mini implants often don’t require bone grafts, allowing you to stop bone resorption without added expenses.

Because we place mini implants in one appointment, with one piece, and without needing a bone graft, they are much less expensive than conventional implants!

How We Help Make Replacing Teeth With Implants Affordable

Dental insurance often only covers what they consider to be “medically necessary” or restorative in nature. Despite their restorative properties, most insurance companies consider dental implants to be “cosmetic” rather than restorative. Unfortunately, this means that many insurance plans will not cover dental implant procedures. However, you’ll never know until you check with your provider.

We also offer flexible financing options to help make dental implant procedures more affordable. With these plans, you can break your costs into manageable monthly payments! If you have any questions about our financing options or your insurance plan, give us a call! We will gladly assist you in any way we can.
