Mini Dental Implants

Dental implants provide a permanent option for replacing missing teeth. The mini dental implant experience can help you say goodbye to unstable, uncomfortable traditional dentures forever. If you are interested in mini dental implants and how they can improve your smile, contacting a mini dental implant expert in your area can help.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants consist of a titanium screw affixed into the jawbone. This screw replaces the root of the tooth and provides a base for permanently affixed prosthetics. However, placing dental implants is a complex procedure that requires a great deal of recovery time. Because the implants are placed directly into the bone, they need time to bond to the jawbone. Generally, after traditional implants are placed, you must allow them to heal for several months before the prosthetic appliances are added.

Mini Dental Implants

With mini dental implants, the procedure becomes simpler and quicker. Mini implants are considerably smaller than traditional implants. Placing mini implants requires no incisions in the gums, and can be done in an hour or two in Dr. Green's office.

After the mini implants are placed, prosthetic appliances can be added. The tops of the mini implants are designed to fit into the bottom of dentures or a bridge. The implants hold the dentures securely in place, but the dentures can be easily removed for cleaning.

With mini dental implants, you don't have to worry about your dentures slipping and sliding in your mouth, making it difficult to talk, eat, or smile. They'll stay exactly where they belong, giving you a confident smile and avoiding the discomfort of dentures that move around in the mouth. Mini dental implants can be used to replace one tooth or several teeth, and offer a much simpler, less invasive, and even less expensive alternative to traditional implants.
