Mini Dental Implants: The Small but Mighty Tooth Replacement Option

There are many emotions that a person might feel when they are missing a tooth or dealing with severe tooth decay. They might feel frustration over the uncertainty of which dental treatment to choose, embarrassment over the appearance of their teeth when they smile or talk, or stress over the added expense and if it will be a recurring issue. At Smile Aesthetic Design, we don’t want you to feel any frustration over your mouth. We want to take away the embarrassment and help you get the smile of your dreams. There is a tooth replacement option that will eliminate any recurring dental issues, saving you money in the long run.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a wonderful choice that mimic your natural teeth, giving you the biggest benefit in the smallest package. We would like to share a video with you that discusses dental implants and introduces you to the wonder that is the mini implant.

Dental implants are the closest thing to natural teeth. They consist of small titanium posts that replace the roots of missing teeth and are finished with a replacement tooth, such as a crown, on top. Implants can be used to support one tooth, a group of teeth, or a full set of teeth. 

Mini Dental Implants

Mini dental implants are a form of implant used to replace missing teeth or stabilize dentures. As the name suggests, they are approximately half the size of the standard implant used to replace the entire tooth structure. Mini implants are a wonderful option to replace a small tooth that has too narrow a space to fit a traditional implant, such as a front tooth. 

Mini implants are a popular choice with patients who are suffering from deteriorating jaw bone issues. The use of a mini implant can eliminate the need for a bone grafting procedure to create more usable bone to install a traditional implant. Mini implants can be used to replace one tooth or can even be used to permanently secure a denture that is to be worn all hours of the day.

If mini implants are something you are interested in learning more about or are considering as a tooth replacement option, please call our office to schedule a consultation. We are looking forward to seeing you in our Wayne, NJ office and restoring your smile!
