If you have a missing tooth, there are options for replacing it. But among the options, dental implants are the only everlasting option. With implants, a titanium metal post is implanted into your jawbone, which then heals around the post, holding it in place. The crown on top of the implant is replaced after 10-15 years, but the post lasts forever. Mini implants are simply a shorter version of the implant, benefiting patients with less healing time and less bone needed to hold in the post.
Here at Prairie Hawk Dental, we offer mini implants to our patients who either want to save money on the implant, want it completed faster, or who have less jaw bone to work with. The titanium post is about half the size of a traditional implant, so it heals faster. In most cases, the implant is complete the same day as the crown, instead of waiting three months like with a traditional implant. There are many benefits to choosing mini implants for replacing missing teeth, including their permanency, convenience, and likeness to natural teeth.
Call Dr. Aaron Goodman at 720-515-1801 to discuss mini implants.
