Whenever you make an online purchase and select a delivery option, isn’t it great to see the option for same-day delivery? It’s so convenient to click the order button and have your purchase in your hands just a few hours later. Wouldn’t it be even better if we could do something similar for tooth replacement? Well, thanks to mini dental implants and the benefits they offer, implant dentists like Dr. Aristodemo can do just that! Same-day dental implants are now a reality, meaning you can walk into Happy Smiles Family Dentistry for an appointment and walk out a few hours later with a new tooth, a few replacements, or an entirely new set of teeth.
The Secret Of Same-Day Teeth: Mini Dental Implants
Mini dental implants are a versatile way to replace missing teeth, as they can support several dental restorations. These thin titanium screws connect directly to the jawbone and give prosthetics like dental crowns, implant-supported bridges, and implant dentures a sturdy foundation to latch onto.
A hidden benefit of dental implants is their ability to replace missing tooth roots. When you lose a tooth, your jawbone quickly starts to deteriorate. By replacing the missing roots, mini implants stimulate the jawbone and prevent the loss of bone and tissue. Filling this space also prevents the adjacent teeth from shifting and causing misalignment of your bite. Not only do same-day dental implants fix your smile, but they also provide oral health benefits.
How It Works
The mini implant process is more straightforward than placing traditional implants, thanks to its minimally invasive procedure and fast healing process.
- The first step to any mini implant procedure is to come in for a free consultation. Dr. Aristodemo will examine your mouth and take X-rays to help determine the implant placement. We’ll also take an impression of your teeth, which we’ll send to the lab to create your final custom restoration.
- Once it’s time to begin the placement, we’ll apply a local anesthetic to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Dr. Aristodemo will drill a tiny pilot hole in your gums to guide the implant.
- We proceed by carefully placing the implant and securing it to the jawbone. It will need a few weeks to osseointegrate with the bone, but we can load it immediately with virtually no negative impacts on its healing process.
- Dr. Aristodemo will attach your temporary restoration while we wait for your customized version to return from the lab.
- Once your final restoration is finished, we’ll remove the temporary one and attach your new teeth.
Afterward, you may experience mild discomfort, which should be gone within 48 hours. You can care for your implants and artificial teeth just like your natural teeth. A solid oral hygiene routine and regular dental checkups will help your new teeth last for many years to come.
The Mini Implant Advantage
At Happy Smiles Family Dentistry, we’re proud to specialize in mini implant placement. Mini implants provide several advantages over both traditional implants and other dental restorations.
- Less invasive procedure: If you’re anxious about needing incisions or stitches for mini dental implants, don’t worry. These 3 mm screws can be placed with a simple, small pilot hole.
- Faster healing process: Mini implants are fully fused with the jawbone after a few weeks. Traditional implants take 3-6 months or more. Immediately after the procedure, any soreness can be handled with over-the-counter medication and should be gone in a day or two.
- Immediate results: Your new teeth can be used right away. While you will be advised to avoid hard or sticky foods for a few days, you’ll walk out the door with a complete set of teeth.
- More affordable: Because they require so much less time and fewer appointments, mini implants are about half the cost of traditional implants.
