“A smile is contagious,” and it’s often the first feature others notice about you! If you want to feel confident showing off your smile, it’s important to have a set of teeth you’re proud of. Unfortunately, roughly 178 million Americans are missing at least one tooth, and approximately 40 million have lost all of their teeth. These factors can make it difficult to feel confident. That’s why it’s important to know the various options available to bring back life to your grin. If you have missing teeth and want to feel confident in your smile again, mini implant treatment could be the answer you’ve been searching for.

What Is a Mini Implant?

A mini implant is a cost-effective and minimally invasive alternative to a traditional dental implant. It consists of a single, screw-like post with a ball-shaped end. Dr. Miller positions it in securely the jawbone to support an artificial tooth. While both traditional and mini implants are reliable tooth replacement options, they have a significant difference: size. A conventional implant is about the diameter of a pencil, whereas a mini implant is the width of a toothpick—less than 3 millimeters.

A mini implant is also made of titanium, so you can rest assured that the slimmer size doesn’t compromise its strength. They are incredibly strong and can be placed in areas with less bone.

While a mini implant still needs quality bone for secure placement, it doesn’t require the same bone volume or density as larger traditional implants. So, what does that mean for patients? When you opt for a mini implant, you likely won’t need a bone graft—an invasive surgery that extends the treatment timeline. Additionally, patients who don’t have the jawbone density for a larger dental implant may be candidates for a mini dental implant.

What Are the Benefits of a Mini Implant?

There are many benefits that come with a mini implant versus a traditional implant. While they both provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth—helping you eat and talk more comfortably—the procedure for a mini implant is less invasive. In most cases, it simply requires a local anesthetic. However, we offer other sedation options depending on your needs.

A mini dental implant is long-lasting; with proper care, it can last a lifetime. However, the false tooth may need to be replaced, depending on wear and tear and your oral hygiene habits.

Another advantage is the quick healing time. Patients typically heal fully within three to four weeks and can return to their regular routines just 24 to 48 hours after the procedure—a convenience that’s unattainable with traditional implants.

They also boast affordability, making the treatment more accessible to a wide range of patients. At Bent Tree Dental, we work closely with our patients to help them access the care they need. We also work with our lending partners to offer you affordable solutions. Want to take advantage of monthly payments and interest rates as low as 0%?

How To Care for Your Mini Implant

Caring for a mini dental implant is actually quite simple. You might be surprised to hear that it doesn’t require special or intensive care. Similar to how you would take care of natural teeth, brushing twice a day and flossing daily will help keep your new teeth in peak condition. It’s also essential to continue regular dental visits and checkups to maintain your overall oral health. These standard maintenance measures will keep your smile looking its best!
