Mini implants allow dentists to replace teeth in narrow spaces within a patient’s mouth and increase their ability to help patients achieve the smile of their dreams.
How Does A Mini Implant Replace Teeth In Narrow Spaces?
The unique design of a mini implant differs from a conventional implant. Mini implants are one complete piece that screws into the jawbone. With a diameter less than 3mm, the appliance has a ball-shaped extension that helps support the dentures.
Who is a Candidate for Mini Implants?
It is essential to consult with your dentist about the best treatment options for your smile makeover. Mini implants are commonly recommended for patients with dental restoration needs, including:
- Small Teeth Replacement
- Front Teeth Restoration
- Premolar Substitution
- Narrow Space Teeth Replacement
Mini implants are an excellent option for providing a more secure tooth replacement and functionality. Patients often find that it is easier to speak, eat, and be confident in social situations with their new appliance.
How are Mini Implants Different from Conventional Implants?
Obviously mini implants differ in size in comparison to traditional implants; however, this is not the only advantage. Benefits of mini implants include:
- Affordability
Smaller screws mean less overall cost. - Shorter Treatment Time
The mini implant procedure is less invasive than traditional implants with no surgery necessary. - No Bone Grafting
Smaller size means no need for bone grafting to secure the implant if less jawbone is available.
