If you find yourself constantly aware of the dentures in your mouth, afraid to laugh or talk just in case they slip out, you may require a more stable denture solution! Implant-retained dentures are much more secure, allowing you to talk, eat, and laugh while knowing your restoration isn’t going anywhere. Unfortunately, dental implants are expensive and require a lot of jawbone to be placed. This makes implant-retained dentures a difficult option for those on a budget or with limited bone structure. At Happy Smiles Family Dentistry, Dr. Aristodemo offers a more accessible solution! Using mini dental implants, she provides her patients with affordable dentures that stay secure in their mouths. You can trust Dr. Aristodemo to restore your smile using mini dental implants!
The Problems With Traditional Dentures and Implants
Both traditional dentures and traditional implants bring a lot of issues that make them unfavorable to many patients.
Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures replace crowns, restoring your smile and allowing you to chew again. Unfortunately, they don’t replace the other essential part of the tooth: the tooth root!
The root is the bottom half of your tooth that rests under your gum line. They are embedded into the jawbone and stimulate the bone when you bite or chew. Without stimulation, your jawbone will begin to resorb, or lose mass, which causes a whole host of problems! With a deteriorating jawbone, your dentures will never stay secure, as lower dentures rely on the bone for support. This instability creates functional limitations that negatively affect a patient’s quality of life!
Additionally, jawbone resorption changes facial structure and appearance over time. The only way to combat the continuous loss of bone density is to replace not just the crown but the root as well!
Traditional Implants
Dental implants replace both crowns and tooth roots. They are titanium posts that secure into the jawbone and support restorations like dentures. With a secure dental implant, you can be sure your dentures will never slip in your mouth, allowing you to eat the foods you love and laugh without fear of embarrassment or mishap.
These implants, however, can be expensive. They require multiple components that we place over many appointments. To receive traditional dental implants, you must pay for each component and the various appointments they take to place.
Additionally, due to their large size, traditional implants need a lot of jawbone to be secure in your mouth. However, with bone resorption, many lack sufficient jawbone to house these implants. The only solution for those with diminished bone density who want a traditional implant is to receive a bone graft. This procedure both increases healing periods and adds to the cost of replacing your teeth.
Dr. Aristodemo offers mini implants to combat high costs and to make implant dentures more accessible to all!
Affordable Dentures Secured by Mini Implants
In contrast to traditional implants, mini dental implants are much smaller and require only one component. Due to their sleek design, Dr. Aristodemo can use a minimally invasive procedure to place these implants. Requiring no incisions or stitches, she instead creates a pilot hole in the gums and jawbone. She then places the implant through the hole and delicately screws it in place. This whole process is done in one appointment and restores your smile with ease!
With mini implant retained dentures, Dr. Aristodemo ensures you have a secure smile that is also more affordable and accessible to all her patients. These implants are less than 3 millimeters in diameter, which means they require very little bone to place. For those who have suffered bone resorption, mini implant dentures are a viable option in most cases, rarely requiring bone grafts and saving you money.
Mini implants are also less expensive because of their single-piece design. Dr. Aristodemo places these restorations in one appointment, and you only have to pay for a single implant piece rather than the many pieces of a traditional implant.
With mini dental implants, you have stable and beautiful dentures at a price that won’t break the bank!
