Have you ever heard the phrase, “More bang for your buck”? It means getting more for the price you’re paying, and this phrase couldn’t be more true in the world of dental implants! Mini dental implants cost less than traditional implants but provide much more value thanks to their minimally invasive placement, faster healing times, and added versatility. Even though they’re smaller than a conventional implant, they provide just as stable and reliable a base as larger implants for tooth replacement.
Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium screws that we place directly into your jawbone. They act as artificial tooth roots and provide a sturdy anchor point to attach dental restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures. This gives your new teeth greater stability and functionality than older tooth replacement solutions. The implants also stimulate your jawbone, preventing the deterioration that comes with tooth loss. Traditional dentures or bridges do nothing to address this.
Despite all these benefits, traditional dental implants do have some drawbacks. Their large size requires incisions and stitches to place and potentially a bone graft procedure. They also need many months to fuse with your jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. Their larger, two-piece design requires multiple follow-up visits, and the micro space between pieces can allow bacteria to grow. Finally, their long healing timeline and the number of follow-up appointments can lead to a high price tag.
Why Mini Dental Implants Are a Big Deal
Mini dental implants provide several advantages over traditional implants.
- Minimally invasive procedure: Mini implants require only a tiny pilot hole to place, not incisions and stitches like larger implants do.
- Less discomfort: With their sleek design and minimally invasive placement, patients generally experience less discomfort afterward.
- Quicker healing time: Mini implants fully fuse with your jawbone in just a few weeks, a much faster timeline than the many months it can take for larger implants.
- More versatile: Mini implants can be an ideal solution for patients who have already lost bone density in their jaw, and we can place them without the need for bone grafting.
- Smaller size: Mini implants are smaller in diameter—less than 3 mm compared to 5 mm—so we can place them in areas where traditional implants may not be an option due to space constraints.
- Added stability: Because we can place more of them in an area, mini implants provide excellent stability for dentures and other restorations.
- Lower cost: Because of their faster healing timeframe, lower manufacturing costs, and fewer required follow-up appointments, mini implants are less expensive than traditional implants. They’re a more affordable option for a wider range of patients.
The Mini Implant Process
Starting your journey at Aspire Dental Group is straightforward. Your initial consultation with Dr. Harvey or Dr. McNair is where it all begins. After a thorough oral exam, you’ll map out your treatment, ask questions, discuss your needs and preferences, and get a clear picture of the process ahead.
The actual placement procedure is quick, and most patients are surprised by how little discomfort they feel afterward. We begin by numbing the area with a local anesthetic. Then, Dr. Harvey or Dr. McNair will carefully drill a tiny pilot hole and place the implant. You’ll receive temporary teeth to use while the implant fuses with your jawbone. After a few weeks, you’ll return to receive your final custom restoration.
