Spanish Smiling is much more than just a physiological response to the outside world. Studies have shown that smiling profoundly affects your overall well-being, benefitting your health, mood, and even lifespan! When your expression breaks into a smile, your body releases neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, improving your mood and reducing pain and stress. At Fine Dental Care, we believe everyone deserves the confidence and joy of a great smile. Using mini dental implants, our experienced dentists can give you beautiful new teeth, helping you to lead a happier and more fulfilling life!
What Are Mini Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that support crowns, bridges, and dentures. There are two primary types of dental implants, which differ in their size and construction: traditional implants and mini implants.
Traditional dental implants are the larger option, as they are around 5 millimeters in diameter. These implants come in multiple pieces and are placed in separate stages, with each requiring a healing period. To place these implants, a dentist must make an incision in the gums to reveal the bone underneath. Then, using a series of increasingly larger drills, they will make a hole in the jawbone that holds the implant in place. While this process creates a stable foundation for your new tooth, it is invasive, and many people don’t have the jawbone space required.
The Mini Dental Implant Advantage
Mini dental implants, in contrast, are less than 3 millimeters in diameter. These sleek implants are only one piece, so our experienced dentists can place them in one appointment! Due to their smaller size, more individuals are eligible for tooth replacement with dental implants—even those with bone loss.
Plus, their upgraded design allows us to avoid incisions and stitches altogether. To place these implants, we make a small pilot hole in the gums and thread the implant through to reach the bone. It’s a minimally invasive process that results in very little bleeding and discomfort.
Amazingly, these implants are also immediate loading, which means they are stable enough to support new teeth the same day we place them! After securing the implant, our dentists will securely attach a crown, bridge, or denture.
With so many advantages, you might assume mini implants are less effective than traditional ones. However, they provide the same stability and effectiveness—without the hassle of an invasive procedure. Plus, they come at a lower cost because of their simpler placement and streamlined design!
What Can New Teeth Do for You?
Because of their modern design, mini implants deliver immediate results. Many people come into our office missing teeth and leave with brand-new teeth the same day! The minimally invasive procedure requires little healing time, and most patients manage any discomfort with over-the-counter medications—though they’re often not needed.
Beyond their immediate impact, dental implants offer lasting benefits for your jaw health. That’s because they replace missing tooth roots. It’s like this: natural teeth have roots that extend into the jawbone. They stimulate the bone whenever you bite and chew, keeping it strong and healthy. This stimulation ceases when you lose a tooth, and your jawbone shrinks. A weakening jawbone can lead to changes in facial structure, speech difficulties, and other cosmetic and functional challenges. Losing even one tooth causes the bone to break down, which is why it’s so important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible. With mini dental implants, we can replace your missing tooth from crown to root!
In terms of daily living, mini implants can drastically improve your quality of life. Missing teeth make chewing a challenge—some people even stick to soft foods, which isn’t great for your health. And if you’ve tried traditional dentures, you know they can be frustrating. Sure, they help to some extent, but they don’t stimulate the jawbone, which means the bone shrinks over time, and suddenly your dentures don’t fit right. Loose dentures that slip around while you’re eating or talking? Not ideal. That’s where mini implants shine—they securely anchor your restoration, giving you a smile that’s stable, comfortable, and uniquely yours.
