When was the last time you had an experience that truly changed your life? We’re not talking about a great meal, a fun vacation, or that one time you went bungee jumping in college; we’re talking about something that transformed how you live your everyday life. Maybe it was the birth of a child, changing careers, or moving across the country. For those living with missing teeth or suffering from ill-fitting dentures, how big of a life-changer would it be to have a stable, functional, beautiful set of new teeth? For many Arizonans, mini dental implants provide just that, courtesy of the Mini Dental Implant Center of America in Scottsdale, AZ.
A Missing Tooth Mess
Missing teeth impact more than just your smile. They make it harder to eat certain foods, affecting your diet. They make you more difficult to understand, affecting your ability to communicate. These issues will only worsen over time, as missing teeth also negatively impact oral health. They allow teeth to shift and move and encourage bacterial growth in empty, hard-to-clean spaces.
However, the biggest issue with missing teeth is with the missing tooth roots. Your tooth roots stimulate the jawbone to keep it strong. Without that stimulation, your bone and tissue density will rapidly deteriorate, changing your facial shape. If you have traditional removable dentures, the loss of jawbone density will change how your dentures fit, causing them to move and slide inside your mouth. They might even fall out if you’re not careful! Loose dentures not only cause soreness and frustration but also make eating and speaking much more challenging.
Luckily, there’s an answer to the issues of both missing teeth and loose dentures: mini dental implants.
Mini Dental Implants to the Rescue in Scottsdale
To replace your missing teeth, dentists have, for many years, turned to dental implants. We place these titanium screws directly into the jawbone, and they act as prosthetic roots, preventing any further jawbone deterioration. They’re also a sturdy anchor point for tooth replacements like crowns, bridges, and dentures. They give artificial teeth and loose dentures much more stability and functionality than conventional bridges and removable dentures.
However, at the Mini Dental Implant Center of America in Scottsdale, AZ, we specialize in a more modern, efficient, and affordable tooth replacement option. Mini dental implants are less than half the size of traditional implants but are just as strong and reliable. Their slim profile allows us to place them more quickly and with less discomfort. They can be an option for patients with smaller jawbones and those who would otherwise require a bone graft procedure.
Mini Implant Benefits
In addition to the advantages we’ve already discussed, mini implants offer additional benefits over their larger predecessors.
- Minimally invasive: The placement of traditional implants requires incisions and stitches. Mini dental implants are less invasive because they only need a tiny pilot hole, which we painlessly create with the help of local anesthetic. This approach means less discomfort during and after the procedure, making it a more comfortable option for patients. It’s also perfect for those with dental anxiety or nervousness about lengthy procedures.
- Faster healing: Mini implants will fuse with your jawbone (known as osseointegration) much faster than traditional implants. The reduced trauma to the bone and surrounding tissues allows the body to recover more quickly. This healing process only takes a matter of weeks, much less than the six to eight months it takes for larger implants.
- More affordable: Because of various factors, including their simpler placement, faster healing, and fewer required appointments, mini implants are much less expensive than conventional implants!
