Dental implants are the tooth replacement solution closest in feel, form, and function to a healthy natural tooth. They are anchored in the jawbone and become part of your dental anatomy.
They last a lifetime and help preserve your jawbone. They also restore full chewing function and give you the confidence to eat your favorite foods again.
Mini Implants
If you’re missing a number of teeth, a full mouth dental implant-supported denture provides a strong and long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures that simply sit on top of your gums. Traditional dentures can be loose, moving when you talk or chew, and may rub against the gums causing painful sores.
Unlike regular dentures, implants replace the roots of your teeth and stimulate bone growth to preserve the shape of your jaw. This helps prevent the loss of the jawline and face that often occurs when teeth are missing for long periods of time.
Traditional implants require a bone graft procedure and lengthy healing period that can interfere with your everyday life. Mini dental implants offer a less invasive and quicker recovery time, making them a great option for people with limited time or who are not good candidates for traditional implants. These smaller dental implants resemble regular dental implants but are shorter and occupy less space so they can be placed in tighter spaces without encroaching on adjacent natural teeth.
Mini Implant Supported Bridges
Dental implants are revolutionary tooth replacements that offer a strong and durable solution to replace missing teeth. They also provide a natural-looking restoration that looks, feels and functions like real teeth.
Mini implant dentures Mesquite TX bridges can replace multiple missing teeth in the lower arch of the jaw. The bridge is comprised of one or more artificial teeth attached to metal abutments, which are connected to dental implants that support the bridge. The implants are placed in the jawbone to preserve natural bone.
Because the implants take the place of the natural tooth root, they can also prevent the deterioration of adjacent teeth and surrounding bone. This is especially important for the front teeth of the mouth.
The process of getting an implant-supported bridge begins with a consultation at our Mesquite dental clinic. We will assess your smile to determine whether you require preliminary treatments such as a bone graft or periodontal therapy before receiving dental implants. We use an on-site lab to fabricate our dentures, so we can often perform the procedure in a single visit.
Mini Implant Supported Dentures
Implant supported dentures are the gold standard of tooth replacement, bringing back both your smile and your ability to eat the foods you love. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They also help prevent bone loss and shrinking of the jaw and soft tissue that can lead to ill-fitting dentures.
Dental implants are anchored into the jawbone with titanium, a material that’s biocompatible and accepted by the body. Over time, the implant site heals and integrates with your jawbone, forming a solid foundation for a dental crown or a full-arch denture.
Mini implants are smaller than traditional implants, which makes them easier and less invasive to place. They are usually placed in a single visit and can be used to support a denture immediately. They are a great choice for patients who cannot or do not want to undergo conventional restoration with multiple surgeries. With a one-piece design, they can also be more cost effective than regular implants.
Mini Implant Supported Overdentures
Unlike traditional dentures, mini implants stabilize your teeth so they don’t slip out of place. They also eliminate the need for messy adhesives. Plus, they allow you to eat tough or chewy foods that may be difficult to eat with traditional dentures.
Smaller-diameter mini implant dentures Mesquite TX have a simplified surgical procedure and expand the patient population that can receive implant treatment. They are especially well suited for patients with minimal bone volume that would require extensive grafting to accommodate conventional-diameter implants.
Our Mesquite dentists have an on-site dental lab that fabricates new dentures and provides repairs and relines, often with same-day service. We do this to keep our costs low and make it possible for you to receive your new dentures as quickly as possible. When seating your new denture, always make sure the implants and the O-rings or Locator Housing attachments inside the denture are clean and free from debris. Then seat the denture by gently snapping it in and pressing down firmly and equally on both sides.
