What are Mini Dental Implants?
Mini dental implants, also called denture implants, offer a one-step alternative to standard dental implants. During a simple in-office procedure, small titanium rods will be implanted into your jawbone. Each tiny rod has a rounded head that snaps into your dentures. Your dentures will remain stable and secure while in place. When it is time to clean them, you only need to snap them out.
Mini Dental Implant Benefits
Placing standard dental implants requires two procedures over the course of six months. First, the dental surgeon inserts a titanium rod or screw into the patient’s jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. After the jawbone has grown around the implant, securing it into place, the implant dentist attaches a replacement tooth to the titanium root.
Although standard dental implants can provide patients with permanent, secure, natural-looking tooth replacements, many individuals do not want to wait six months for the implants to integrate with the surrounding bone. Others find the procedure cost-prohibitive. Still others are concerned about the pain associated with the surgery.
Mini dental implants offer three main advantages over standard dental implants:
- Non-surgical procedure
- Cost effective
- Immediate results
