The Benefits of Mini Dental Implants
Learn the advantages of tailor-made dental implants with Dr. Vahid Bashi—designed to fit almost any jaw, even with severe bone resorption.
Mini dental implants offer a range of benefits, primarily due to their less invasive placement method compared to traditional implants. Unlike the latter, which require a large incision to expose the gums for implant placement, mini implants are installed through a minor pilot hole drilled directly through the gum tissue. This approach significantly reduces the procedure’s invasiveness, leading to a host of advantages:
1. Faster Healing Time: The minimally invasive nature of the procedure means that the gums are not extensively opened, reducing tissue trauma and allowing for quicker healing.
2. Less Pain and Discomfort: Patients typically experience minimal pain and discomfort, as the procedure avoids the extensive tissue damage associated with traditional implants.
3. Reduced Recovery Period: The recovery from mini dental implant surgery is notably quicker. Patients often require only a single pain medication dose the night after the procedure and return to normal activities by the second day.
4. Cost-Effectiveness: Mini dental implants are generally more affordable than traditional implants. This cost saving is due to the fewer components needed for mini implants and the less complex placement procedure.
The process for traditional implants, which involves opening the gums widely, suturing post-surgery, and a prolonged healing period, contrasts sharply with the streamlined and less traumatic procedure for mini implants. This traditional approach necessitates a longer recovery time, with patients typically experiencing more significant pain and discomfort due to the extensive surgical trauma.
To determine if mini dental implants are suitable for you, scheduling a free consultation and scan is advisable. This allows for a comprehensive evaluation of your dental needs and a discussion of all available treatment options, enabling you to make an informed decision regarding your dental care.
