Tooth loss is a common problem, significantly affecting millions of people’s quality of life. Traditional dentures have been the go-to solution for decades, offering an effective way to replace missing teeth. However, they come with their own set of challenges, such as discomfort, slipping, and the need for frequent adjustments. In response to these challenges, mini implant dentures have emerged as a superior alternative, providing a secure, comfortable, and durable solution for those looking to improve their dental health.
The Limitations of Traditional Dentures
While providing some oral functionality, traditional dentures often fail to deliver a completely satisfactory experience. First, their bulky pink plastic construction doesn’t look or feel very natural. They also don’t have the stability required to tackle certain foods, forcing you to alter your diet. Their fit requires them to rest on the gums, and patients commonly report issues with dentures slipping during conversation or while eating, which can cause embarrassment and inconvenience.
Furthermore, as the jawbone deteriorates without the natural stimulation provided by tooth roots, the fit of the dentures can change. This changing fit will cause soreness and irritation and necessitate regular adjustments. The loss of jawbone density can also lead to a sunken facial appearance, making the patient look older than they are.
Mini Implant Dentures: A More Stable, Functional Solution
Mini implant dentures address the shortcomings of traditional dentures by offering a more stable and secure fit. These dentures are supported by mini dental implants, which are small titanium posts we insert directly into the jawbone. The implants act as anchors for the dentures, eliminating the risk of slipping or shifting in your mouth. This innovative solution enhances comfort and functionality. It also gives you a more natural look and feel, as these prosthetics resemble your original teeth more than your bulky old dentures. In certain situations, we can even convert your old denture into a mini implant denture, giving you the peace of mind and quality of life improvement you deserve.
However, their effect on oral health is just as important as their more stable and comfortable fit. Dental implants help preserve the jawbone’s integrity by replacing missing tooth roots and stimulating the jawbone. This keeps your facial structure intact and avoids the “denture sag” that comes with old-fashioned dentures.
Advantages of Mini Dental Implants
Dr. Hall and Dr. McNeil are proud to offer our patients the highest-quality denture options. The sleek, modern mini implants used at Aspire Dental provide advantages over the larger conventional dental implants that have been in use for decades.
- Minimally invasive: The slim profile of mini implants (less than 3 mm compared to 5 mm of larger implants) allows us to place them without incisions, stitches, or bone grafts. We only need to create a tiny pilot hole, which is much faster and reduces discomfort after the procedure.
- Faster healing times: Unlike traditional implants, which can take six months or more to fuse with your jawbone fully, mini implants will complete the process in just a few weeks. This allows you to use and enjoy your new custom teeth much sooner.
- Long-term solution: With proper care, mini implant dentures can last many years, providing a durable and cost-effective solution to tooth loss.
- More affordable: Mini implants cost less than traditional implants because of their lower manufacturing cost, more efficient process, and fewer required appointments.
