According to Cleveland Clinic, approximately 36% of people in the United States have a fear of dental treatment. The thought of undergoing a series of procedures for some people may bring unnecessary stress or even seem impossible. If you’re one of the many people dealing with this fear in addition to tooth loss, you are likely experiencing some daily challenges. Issues like difficulty chewing and speaking or reduced confidence can take a toll on everyday life. At Esparza Dentistry, our team understands the stress that comes with undergoing dental visits and procedures. By offering solutions like same-day dental implants or mini dental implants, we can provide an advanced and less invasive alternative to traditional implants.
What Are Same-Day Dental Implants?
Same-day dental implants are made possible with mini dental implants, a prosthetic tooth root that supports a false tooth or teeth. The implants consist of a narrow titanium post with a ball on one end, a rubber O-ring, and a dental prosthetic. The post is screwed into the jawbone, and a false crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the post with the O-ring.
The implants can measure less than 3 mm in diameter, which takes up less space than conventional implants. Because of the smaller size of the implant, bone grafts are usually not needed. While the process for traditional dental implants can take over 6 months, mini dental implants are more immediate and can take as little as a day. This is due to their minimally invasive, straightforward procedure.
Why Choose Mini Dental Implants?
If you are looking to find a superior tooth replacement option, same-day dental implants are an excellent choice:
- Same-day dental implants, made possible with mini implants, are ideal as they are smaller and require less surgery. For individuals dealing with dental anxiety or fear, a single procedure is preferable to the series of visits required with traditional implants.
- If you have limited jawbone volume, traditional implants can be unsuitable. Mini dental implants are less invasive than conventional implants and, in most cases, require little to no bone grafting.
- Same-day dental implants are a more affordable alternative to traditional implants. They require fewer visits and less complex procedures, making them a budget-friendly option for many of our patients.
- You can avoid the lengthy process associated with conventional implants as mini dental implants can take just up to an hour, and recovery time is significantly shorter.
A key advantage to choosing mini dental implants is the possibility of same-day results. The process is quick, efficient, and minimally invasive, ensuring you get back to your routine with minimal disruption. Mini dental implants streamline the procedure into two steps with local anesthesia, followed by placing the implant into a pre-drilled hole in your jawbone. Mini dental implants simplify the process into two steps: first, local anesthesia is applied, and then the implants are placed into the pre-drilled hole in your jawbone. The simplicity of this procedure, compared to traditional implants, means less discomfort and a quicker recovery.
Are Mini Dental Implants Right for You?
At Esparza Dentistry, we will provide a free consultation to determine if same-day implants are the best option for you. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your dental history, goals, and budget. Our comprehensive assessment, including dental exams and CT scans, will help us determine if mini dental implants are the best fit for you.
Same-day implants are often the best choice for those needing to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all their teeth. However, you may not qualify if you are under the age of 18 years old, have gum disease, vascular or bone disease, if you are receiving chemotherapy or radiation, or have diabetes.
Caring for Your New Smile
Mini dental implants are one of the most long-lasting options for tooth replacement, and with the proper care, they can last for years. With the rapid recovery time of same-day dental implants, most patients resume their normal activities within 24-48 hours. Plus, the instant results mean you won’t have to wait weeks or months to enjoy the benefits of your new teeth.
After your procedure, we recommend avoiding chewy or hard foods until the implants have fully healed. Once you’ve healed, caring for your implants is relatively straightforward. By practicing regular oral hygiene practices such as brushing, flossing, and scheduling routine dental check-ups, your mini implants can last a lifetime.
