Restore Your Smile Sooner With Smaller Implants
If you have or need dentures, you don’t want them slipping around in your mouth. You’re in luck! Both standard dental implants and mini dental implants eliminate annoying and embarrassing denture slippage. Mini implants offer some unique benefits over conventional implants:
- You can get your replacement teeth in a shorter amount of time after we place your implants.
- Since mini implants are smaller, your jaw can heal faster after the procedure.
- Mini dental implants are less expensive, so you’ll reduce the cost of your procedure.
- You may avoid the need for a bone graft before getting your implants.
- Your dentures will snap right onto the implants, so you don’t have to have them refitted constantly.
Whether you are missing just one tooth or several teeth, minis can play a valuable role in rebuilding your smile and your bite. You can use mini implants or standard implants to support crowns and bridges in addition to dentures.
Although you will experience little to no pain while we are placing your implants, we do have sedation options that can help you relax. You can choose laughing gas or an oral sedative according to your level of anxiety. Plus, we have comfort items like pillows and blankets to put you at ease.
Common Questions About Mini Dental Implants
When are mini dental implants used?
Mini dental implants are used in situations where they will work better than full-size implants. They offer a way to receive implants without a bone graft if your jaw isn’t strong enough for other implants. They can also work well to replace small teeth, like those in the front of your mouth, and for older adults or others who may experience slow healing times.
How are mini dental implants done?
Mini dental implants are placed like other types of dental implants. The implant is surgically embedded into your jawbone, and then once the implant is healed, we use it to support your new crowns, bridge, or dentures. We can attach replacement teeth in a minimum amount of time after we place your implants. We offer sedation dentistry, including oral sedation and inhaled sedation, so you won’t experience any discomfort during your procedure.
Can mini implants be used for upper dentures?
Yes, mini implants are often used to stabilize a set of upper dentures. Due to their small size, the procedure for placing them is not as invasive as that for standard implants, making them a good choice for patients who may not have sufficient bone in their upper jaw to support full-sized implants.
How strong are mini dental implants?
Mini dental implants are about half the diameter of full-size implants. Unlike conventional implants, they are made of one solid piece instead of two pieces (the implant itself plus an abutment for attaching your dental restoration). Because of this, they aren’t right for every dental implant placement. Dr. Miyasaki will help you determine which implants will work best for your situation.
