How Dental Implants Can Help You
Dental implants are artificial roots we securely anchor in the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. They provide several benefits that can significantly improve your quality of life.
First and foremost, dental implants restore dental function, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak clearly and confidently. Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants function like natural teeth, offering strength and stability.
Equally important, dental implants replace the missing tooth root, providing essential support and stimulation to the jawbone. This stimulation helps maintain bone density and prevents bone deterioration, which is crucial for preserving the natural shape and structure of your face over time.
Mini dental implants build on these benefits and offer even more advantages. Their smaller size allows for a less invasive procedure, making the entire process faster, more comfortable, and more affordable. These qualities make mini implants an excellent option for patients who may not be ideal candidates for traditional implants or who want to minimize treatment time and recovery.
Although smaller, mini dental implants provide the same level of stability and support, ensuring your dental prosthetics stay securely in place.
Your Implant Procedure: The Mini Implant Difference
With their innovative design and Dr. Shatkin’s expertise, mini dental implants offer a streamlined and efficient approach to tooth replacement.
Traditional implants are about 5 millimeters in diameter and require several components and stages.
The process begins with embedding a titanium post into the jawbone, allowing it time to heal and fuse. Next, the abutment must be added before finally attaching the restoration. This multi-step approach demands multiple appointments and a longer recovery time.
In contrast, mini dental implants are less than 3 millimeters in diameter—almost half the size of traditional implants—and their compact, one-piece design significantly reduces complexity. Each mini implant has a slender titanium post with a ball-shaped end that extends above the gum line, providing an anchor point for the restoration. This integrated design makes the placement minimally invasive, meaning fewer appointments, quicker healing, and more convenience for you.
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. It’s a modern solution that provides the stability and functionality you need without a lengthy wait.
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!
