Same-day Implant Options With Mini Dental Implants

A mini dental implant is not the same as traditional implants. For a missing tooth or if you wear dentures, talk to a mini dental implant professional about this option. Not only is the procedure quick and harmless, but the results are long-lasting. With proper care, this type of dental implant can last up to 20 years.

Why choose a mini dental implant

There are two main reasons that people opt for a mini dental implant. First, they have one or several missing teeth. Second, they wear dentures and worry about them slipping and sliding around. For these individuals, as well as those with poor jawbone density, this procedure is ideal. Regular implants require good bone density. The reason is that a patient must have adequate bone to support the placement of the titanium screws.

Also, as part of placing traditional implants, the oral surgeon must make incisions, followed by stitches. After inserting the screws, the patient must wait roughly four weeks for the mouth to heal. Eventually, people do have beautiful smiles, but it takes time to reach that point. A mini dental implant works differently.

Key benefits

Due to the small size of the implant associated with a mini dental implant, there is no need for incisions. In fact, a mini dental implant professional can insert the poles into the jawbone in just one visit. That means if someone makes an appointment for this procedure, they go home on the same day with the problem corrected. No healing or downtime is involved.

Although a same-day, mini dental implant appeals to all patients, this is especially important to those in the public eye. As an example, if someone serves as a guest speaker at conferences, that individual needs a gorgeous smile immediately. Perhaps a patient has a wedding planned a few days away. Again, a mini dental implant professional can have the entire procedure done in one day.

For a patient who needs only one dental implant, the dentist can have them in and out of the clinic in less than an hour. Without cutting and stitches, that person can go about life as before. No matter the situation, having a missing tooth replaced or dentures secured quickly makes this mini version a popular solution.

Not only does a mini dental implant replace a missing tooth, but it can also secure the dentures. In the latter case, a mini dental implant professional attaches O-rings to the dentures. That ring then slides down on top of a ball on the exposed end of the implant. As a result, there is no loosening or slippage.

Take charge of your oral health

Compared to a traditional implant, the mini dental implant is a great option for many people. If you qualify for this procedure, you will love the fast results. No more feeling embarrassed about your smile. There is no reason to feel uncomfortable. Take charge today.
