Implant Dentistry
Implant dentistry is one of the best solutions for replacing your missing teeth. Any tooth-replacement treatment aims to replace the tooth and its roots to restore your aesthetics and oral functionalities. A dental implant can be described as a surgical fixture placed in your jawbones.
It is then left there and allowed to fuse for 3 to 6 months. They act as a replacement root for your missing tooth and are made of titanium.
One of the top benefits of implant dentistry over other tooth replacement procedures is that they maintain your facial aesthetics and prevent the sunken looks associated with missing teeth. This is because they effectively help in preserving your jawbones. Also, the implants are stand-alone,
and they do not affect the neighboring teeth, unlike dental bridges and crowns. You would not have to put any extra effort when it comes to maintaining your dental implants. Regular brushing, flossing, and visits to the dentist are enough to keep your mouth with implants healthy.
Mini Implants
Mini dental implants have the same structure as regular dental implants. However, unlike the traditional implants, they are made of one-piece screws less than 3mm in diameter. It also has a ball-shaped end, which protrudes through your jawbones. The mini implants are less invasive and generally put over the gum surface. As the procedure is much simpler, they can be placed in your jawbones in less time. The whole procedure is completed under the influence of local anesthesia in a single visit, and no sutures are needed.
