Dental problems are a common occurrence in both adults and children and can be caused by anything from a mild ailment to severe gum disease. The most common dental problems that affect children are cavities, gingivitis, and bad breath. Other problems include oral hygiene issues, toothaches, and infections. If you have tooth problems that lead to teeth loss, Austin mini dental implants can help.
Here is why mini dental implants are suitable for patients looking for a tooth replacement:
Faster recovery time
Mini dental implants are placed within your mouth directly under your gums, so there is no need for bone grafting afterward like with large implants that require bone grafting before placement which takes longer than two weeks. The procedure takes about an hour and a half and requires little to no anesthesia.
More permanent than bridges or dentures
Mini dental implants are a type of dental implant made from titanium, a metal that is strong and durable. They can last for decades, and this makes them more permanent than bridges or dentures.
Mini dental implants are used in place of other types of dentures when they are not strong enough to hold up the patient’s teeth. This is especially true if a patient has lost all of their teeth or has had severe tooth decay.
Prevents facial collapse
These small implant-supported crowns are designed to be placed on the top of your teeth, where they can support your front teeth. They also help stop the face from collapsing due to aging, often caused by bone density loss in the jawbone. This can lead to wrinkles, sagging skin, and even wrinkles around the mouth.
Reduced discomfort
Mini implants are small enough that they don’t press against your gums or jawbone, which means they don’t cause pain or discomfort when you eat or drink. They also don’t require any special post-treatment procedures like surgery or dental implants, making them ideal for people who prefer to avoid these types of appointments.
Versatile
Mini dental implants can replace single or multiple teeth at once, depending on how many crowns you need to create a restoration strong enough to handle daily wear and tear while still looking natural and beautiful.
Can be done without bone grafting
Many patients who have lost all or part of their jawbone due to disease or trauma are candidates for mini dental implants because they do not require bone grafting at this time. This can make our patients very happy as it means they don’t have to take time off work or sit around waiting for healing time after surgery is complete.
If you are looking for a way to replace a single tooth or just part of a tooth, mini dental implants may be a great option. These tiny posts can improve your bite and your smile while helping you restore your confidence in your mouth. If you’re ready to get back to living life to the fullest with a complete set of teeth, book an appointment with your provider at Austin Advanced Dentistry.
