Spanish Choosing the right dental implant often raises many questions: Where can you find the highest quality care? Which procedures are the least invasive? Most commonly, people ask: how much do dental implants cost? At Aspire Dental Group in Lake City, Florida, our goal is to make dental implant treatment affordable because we know how life-changing dental implants can be. Our skilled dentists, Dr. Harvey and Dr. McNair, believe dental care shouldn’t come at an impossible price. That’s why we offer mini implants, which are half the cost of conventional implants. These reliable tooth replacement tools are the ideal solution for many patients!
Mini Implants vs. Conventional Implants
Dental Implants are titanium posts that a dentist places into your jaw to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. The two most common kinds of dental implants are conventional dental implants and mini dental implants.
Conventional Implants
These implants are about 5 millimeters in diameter. To place them, a dentist must make an incision into the gums to reveal the bone underneath. Then, they will use a series of increasingly large drills to create a hole large enough to fit the implant inside. This process is invasive and requires 4-10 months of healing before the implants are stable enough to support your final restoration.
Conventional implants have a two-piece design: a titanium post and an abutment that secures the restoration. These components must be placed in separate appointments, which extends the process and increases costs. While conventional implants are reliable, they involve significant time and inconvenience.
Mini Implants
In contrast, mini dental implants are one-piece implants that are less than 3 millimeters in width. Due to their slim design, they require much less bone than a conventional implant. This makes mini implants an excellent choice for those with low bone density, offering a more accessible solution for tooth replacement.
Placing mini implants also involves a much less invasive procedure. In fact, our doctors don’t need to make incisions to place them. They only make a small pilot hole in the gums to thread the implant into the jawbone. Once the implant is secure, Dr. Harvey or Dr. McNair will place a temporary restoration the same day.
An important advantage of mini dental implants is that they heal much faster than conventional implants, allowing you to enjoy your new smile much sooner.
Why Do Mini Dental Implants Cost Less?
Mini dental implants are the preferred implant option for many people, but how do they compare to conventional implants in price? Due to their multi-piece design and complex surgical placement, conventional implants are very expensive. You pay for each component of the implant and the restoration. On top of that, every trip to the dentist adds to expenses, and a conventional dental implant requires several.
To combat the high cost of traditional dental implants, Dr. Harvey and Dr. McNair offer mini dental implants. They believe not only in the effectiveness and quality of these implants but also in their affordability. Because mini implants are only composed of one piece, there is no extra cost for the abutment, contributing to a lower price. The mini implant procedure also requires fewer appointments, which significantly reduces the price. In most cases, mini implants are half the price of conventional implants, making them an effective tooth loss solution that won’t break the bank.
