Mini Dental Implants
Mini Dental Implants for Teeth Replacement
If you’ve lost teeth and need to replace them with dental implants, you’re probably wondering whether getting a smaller version of the implant is possible. Fortunately, mini dental implants can help you in your quest for tooth replacement.
Mini dental implants are a particular type of tooth replacement for people who have lost teeth. Like their larger counterparts, they help to permanently replace missing teeth.
Although regular dental implants are highly effective, they are not suitable for everyone. For certain cases of tooth loss, mini dental implants can be a great option.
Because they’re smaller, mini dental implants have some features that are different from the regular variety. However, the portion of a mini dental implant visible above the gums is similar to natural teeth or traditional implants—they look and feel exactly the same.
Benefits of Mini Dental Implants
Mini dental implants are an innovative solution to tooth loss. They are most often utilized as an alternative to standard-sized implants in cases where the patient has little or no bone available for implantation. Mini dental implants are smaller than traditional ones, measuring less than 3mm in diameter.
To place a mini implant, the dentist positions it over the gums, whereas placing regular implants involves putting them under the gums. Because the procedure to place a mini dental implant requires only local anesthesia and no sutures, it causes less swelling and heals more quickly than conventional tooth replacement methods.
The Smile You’ve Been Waiting For
Mini dental implants can be just as beneficial to your smile and bite as traditional ones. They look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, unlike dentures which can become loose or slide around. Furthermore, these artificial teeth prevent neighboring teeth from drifting, allow you to chew and bite food more efficiently, and do not interfere with your ability to speak or eat.
Mini Dental Implant Maintenance
Mini dental implants need to be maintained and cared for in the same way as natural teeth—you should brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss once daily, and see a dentist for regular checkups. If you have been waiting for a reason to smile, mini dental implants are the answer!
