Mini Dental Implants Provide the Stability You Need
Patients who haven’t been able to undergo the procedure for traditional dental implants can benefit from the stability and security of mini dental implants — faster, and with less invasion than the conventional method. By improving the function of your teeth, mini dental implants truly enhance your quality of life.
How Mini Dental Implants Work
To understand how mini dental implants function, you must first know a little about traditional implants. They’re tiny titanium posts that are surgically implanted directly into the space left by each missing tooth. Traditional dental implants require a recovery period of approximately six months, during which the bone and implant fuse together in a process known as osseointegration. It’s only after this recovery period that the prosthetic tooth can be placed on top.
Mini dental implants, as the name suggests, are much smaller than traditional implants, about 1.8 to 3 mm compared to traditional implants’ 3.75 mm. The smaller size means a different placement technique, and one that allows implant placement and restoration to be completed in just one, one hour appointment. With this incredible approach, you can come to Sommers Family Dentistry with missing teeth and walk out with a completed smile the very same day!
