How Dental Implants Can Help You
Dental implants are artificial roots we securely anchor in the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Dental implants provide several benefits that can significantly improve your quality of life. First and foremost, they restore dental function, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak clearly. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants function like natural teeth. They act as the missing tooth root, providing essential support and stimulation to the jawbone. This process helps maintain bone density and prevents deterioration, preserving the natural structure of your face.
Mini dental implants take these benefits even further. These smaller implants are a less invasive and more affordable way to secure dental prosthetics, making them a great option for many patients. We use mini dental implants to provide the same stability and support as traditional implants but with a simpler and quicker procedure.
Your Implant Procedure: The Mini Implant Difference
Thanks to their innovative design and Dr. Shatkin’s expertise, mini dental implants are simpler and more efficient to place. Traditional implants, about 5 millimeters in diameter, involve multiple components and steps. First, a titanium post is implanted into the jawbone. Once it heals and fuses with the bone, an abutment is attached to the post, and finally, the restoration is placed on top. This multi-component construction requires several phases and multiple appointments.
Mini implants, however, are designed for simplicity and efficiency. Measuring less than 3 millimeters in diameter—almost half the size of traditional implants—they offer significant advantages in placement and healing. Mini implants are one-piece titanium posts with a ball-shaped end that protrudes above the gum line, where the restoration is attached. Their slim size and integrated design allow for a minimally invasive placement technique.
Instead of making large incisions and using stitches, Dr. Shatkin makes a small hole through the gums, minimizing bleeding and discomfort. This streamlined approach speeds up the procedure and reduces recovery time, making the entire process quicker and more comfortable for patients.
Same-Day Teeth and the Benefits of the Mini Implant Procedure
Unlike traditional implants, mini dental implants are stable immediately after Dr. Shatkin places them into your jaw. What does this mean for you? Eligible patients can come to our office and leave the same day with a secure, stable smile.
Thanks to our Shatkin F.I.R.S.T.® on-site laboratory, we can often place your final restoration on the same day as your implant placement. This efficiency eliminates the need for multiple appointments and significantly reduces overall treatment time. Our practice is ideal for those seeking quick and effective dental solutions.
Finally, the term “mini” doesn’t just describe the size of these implants—it also reflects the minimal cost compared to traditional implant options. Since Dr. Shatkin can often place these implants in a single visit and craft your restoration on-site, you’ll need fewer appointments overall. This efficiency saves you time and reduces the financial burden of multiple dental visits, making mini dental implants a more affordable choice for many patients.
