Spanish Dealing with missing teeth? You’re certainly not alone. In Texas, 32% of older adults are facing life without six or more natural teeth. If the thought of flashing a gapped smile makes you uneasy, don’t worry. We’re here to help. At Aspire Dental, we specialize in mini dental implants to replace missing teeth quickly.
Why Missing Teeth Can’t Be Ignored
Here’s a fact many don’t realize: tooth loss leads to bone loss. When you lose a tooth, bone loss in the jaw occurs rapidly. The changes to the structure of your jaw affect your appearance and compromise your long-term oral health. In addition to bone resorption, losing a permanent tooth leads to:
- Misalignment that affects your bite
- Chewing and digestion problems
- Speech impairment
- Increased risk of gum disease
- Stress on nearby teeth
While traditional dental implants can replace missing teeth, not everyone is a good candidate for this conventional method. Mini dental implants allow more people to pursue advanced tooth replacement solutions.
Mini Dental Implants vs. Traditional Dental Implants
Mini dental implants are a newer, smaller, and more cost-effective successor to traditional dental implants. Like their older counterparts, they’re designed to act as tooth roots and offer a sturdy base for replacement teeth. However, they come with some unique advantages:
- Smaller size: Traditional implants average
around 5 millimeters in diameter. In contrast, mini dental implants are less than 3 millimeters wide—about the size of a toothpick. This makes them perfect for folks with thin or weak jawbones. No more worrying about not having enough bone for an implant! - Design efficiency: Traditional implants involve multiple pieces, while mini implants are a single post. The screw and built-in connector make the implant placement much more efficient.
- Minimally invasive procedure: While conventional implants require multiple appointments and surgical techniques, mini implants can typically be placed in a single, non-intrusive procedure.
- Quick recovery: Thanks to the minimally invasive procedure, recovery is generally quick. Most folks return to their regular activities in as little as a day or two after getting mini dental implants.
- Budget-friendly: Correcting the gap in your smile doesn’t require a large dent in your savings. Mini dental implants cost about half as much as conventional implants. Plus, with multiple financing options available, your dream of flashing a confident smile is even more attainable.
Are Mini Dental Implants Right for You?
If you have waited to replace a missing tooth or lost a tooth later in life, your jawbone is likely unable to accommodate large traditional implants. This shouldn’t force you to pursue less effective replacement options. With mini dental implants, more people than ever before have access to superior dental solutions.
If you have lost even one tooth, have a weak jawbone, or want to avoid long, complicated, and costly procedures, mini implants may be right for you. While they’re a fantastic solution for many, we will evaluate your eligibility at your free dental implant consultation.
How Much Do Mini Dental Implants Cost?
We know dental procedures can be costly, and navigating the labyrinth of insurance and financing can be more painful than a toothache! But here’s the good news: we accept almost any insurance and collaborate with various financing companies to offer payment plans to fit your budget. We also provide an in-house saving program that allows you to save 15-20% on services.
Our goal is to ensure your needed treatment fits comfortably within your budget. Confused by all the options? We are happy to help you pick the payment option that’s best for you.
