Mini Dental Implants
Mini dental implants are considered a good option for people who are unable to have traditional dental implants. But they’re not a good fit for all tooth loss. Mini implants are smaller in size,it certainly avoids the requirement of complex flap surgery. We can place the implants in the most minimally invasive manner.The healing time is extremely shorter as the procedure is carried out in the least invasive manner. Mini implants are considered in patients with less bone height and width. Patients should expect to get around a 6–9-year success from mini dental implants, in comparison to conventional implants that should be successful for over 15 years or much more if maintained correctly.
How Do They Work?
The placement of the implant is accomplished quickly and easily in a one-step procedure performed at our practice. Under local anesthesia, or light sedation, employing precise and minimally invasive techniques, the implants are positioned into the jawbone.
The head of the implants protrude from the gum and provide a solid foundation for securing crowns, dentures, or a brace.
Teeth
The Mini and Midi Implants are the perfect system to provide greater denture stability for those refused regular implants due to a lack of bone, or who simply cannot afford the cost of conventional implants. Once the implants are secured a tailor made crown is secured to the implant. It is not necessary for each missing tooth to require an implant and if you have 3+ teeth missing next to each other you could opt for a bridge or partial denture supported by only 2 implants. This can be removed and cleaned, and would reduce the volume of surgery that could be required.
Dentures
The most effective use of this unique dental product is stabilization of a lower denture. The majority suffer discomfort as a result of loose or ill-fitting dentures. Some withdraw from any type of social engagement as a result of wearing them. It is also not uncommon for family members to complain about a denture wearer’s disagreeable breath as a result of food being trapped and decaying under their denture prosthesis. Successful placement of the mini implants addresses and solves all of these social and practical problems.
The head of the implant is shaped like a ball. The retaining fixture in your denture acts like a socket that contains a rubber O-ring. This snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds the denture at a predetermined level of force. When seated the denture gently rests on the gum tissue while the implant fixture allows for micro mobility while withstanding the natural lifting of eating.
Conventional Implants
Conventional Implants can be provided at the Delhi Mini Implant Service at shanti dentals, meaning we can use the most appropriate treatment customized to suit your needs.
The implants are placed in the bone, using a particularly gentle surgical technique. This usually means that the patient experiences little discomfort after the implants are placed. For patients who are a little anxious, this procedure can be carried out under sedation.
Following the implant placement procedure, the implants are left undisturbed for a period of 3 to 6 months so that the bone can grow around the implants to form a strong biological bond to them. During this bone ‘remodeling’ phase, you will have some type of temporary replacement teeth, so that you never have to be without teeth during treatment.
Mini Dental Implants Procedure At Shanti Dentals
Before the mini implant procedure takes place, our expert Dr. Rajesh Bansal will examine you by easy x-rays in addition to an overview.
After that,
- Your bone is analyzed for placing the mini implants. It is a simple procedure that can be carried out in a minimally invasive manner.
- After a small amount of anesthesia, the mini implants are placed in the jaw at the desired locations. Even if you are not a candidate for the conventional implants, we can still place the structurally superior mini implants and improve the prosthetic retention completely.
- The mini implants are placed intact and let to heal thoroughly. The healing of mini implants takes very less time as the procedure is carried out with the least invasive technique.
Advantages of Mini Dental Implants?
Less invasive surgery
Mini dental implants can be placed using a small amount of anesthetic. The procedure is much less invasive than traditional dental implants and may be less painful.
Faster Recovery Time
The small size of the invasive procedure used to insert mini dental implants means that many people recover more quickly.
Lower cost
Costs for mini dental implants are very less and they’re often less expensive than traditional dental implants.
Less Jawbone Density is Needed
The Mini implants are smaller and don’t require as much jawbone mass. This makes them a good fit for people who have lost jawbone density from tooth decay, injury, or bone loss.
Can Fit Into a Smaller Area of Mouth
Mini dental implants are often a better choice to replace small teeth or fit into narrow openings, as well as for people with small jaws.
Less Painful Repair
The small size of mini implants makes both placement and repair less painful than traditional dental implants.
Faster Results
Traditional dental implants require multiple visits. However, replacement teeth can often be placed on mini dental implants the same day as the implant procedure.
Why Choose Mini Dental Implants?
The use of mini dental implants is implied in cases where conventional implants cannot be placed. Like when you don’t have:
- The ability to undergo invasive surgery
- Enough time to go to repeat dental visits
- Enough bone in the jaw for a full-sized implant
- Because of these reasons and others, the use of mini dental implants is expected to rise. Cost is also a factor in their increased popularity. The cost of standard implants is rising, while the cost of mini dental implants tends to be less.
Mini dental implants are usually more useful to stabilize dentures, so they are mostly suitable for older patients who have lost teeth in the past which has resulted in bone loss. That being a more invasive procedure can be difficult to be endured by older patients and Mini implants can prove to be a better option here. Mini implants are the great options for replacing missing teeth that come with numerous benefits. The patient is enabled to come for a morning appointment and leave that same afternoon with a smile!
