Magnificent Mini Implants

Sunday, April 5th, 2015

iStock_000001998629XSmallAt City Dental Leeds, we’re delighted to offer a range of terrific tooth replacement treatments including magnificent mini implants. As you may have guessed, these are smaller versions of traditional dental implants. If you’re looking for an effective, long-term solution for lost teeth or troublesome dentures, these innovative devices could be just the ticket.

What exactly are mini dental implants?

Mini dental implants are smaller versions of traditional dental implants. These light, titanium prostheses are inserted into openings in the jaw bone to replace the missing tooth root. Once they have settled into the bone tissue, implants can then be connected to a new restoration that replaces the visible section of the tooth (the crown). Traditional dental implants require strong, dense bone tissue to enable them to integrate fully. If you lack density in your jaw bone and are unable to tolerate a traditional implant, mini implants may be the way forward.

Mini implants are commonly attached to dentures to provide a stable, long-term solution for patients who have multiple missing teeth. Mini implants are easier to tolerate than traditional implants and the procedure is quicker and less invasive.

How are mini implants fitted?

We usually fit mini dental implants under local anaesthetic or light sedation. The procedure is minimally invasive and involves a very advanced surgical technique. The head of the implant is left exposed and this is attached to the new restoration.

The benefits of mini implants for denture wearers

Dentures have been an effective replacement for missing natural teeth for many years. However, they can be problematic. Mini implants offer an extremely stable base for dentures, giving the patient the opportunity to enjoy enhanced oral function, amazing aesthetics and the peace of mind that their denture will never come loose. Implants also offer much greater stability than the suction of the gums and this means that the denture has a much more comfortable fit.

About mini dental implants

As you can probably guess from the name, mini dental implants are smaller versions of traditional implants. They are smaller in stature and this makes them easier to tolerate. Mini implants are often recommended for patients who have issues with traditional dental implants because of a lack of dense bone tissue in the jaw. If the jaw lacks density, the implant may fail as it may not be able to integrate fully. With mini implants, the chance of failure is much lower.

Mini dental implants are most commonly used to anchor a denture and they offer a host of benefits for patients, especially those who have had problems with traditional dentures in the past.

The benefits of mini implants

Mini dental implants offer much greater stability than a traditional denture, as the denture is supported by the implants, rather than the suction of the gums. Implants also increase the power of the denture, allowing you to enjoy the same level of functionality as natural teeth. Your smile will also look incredible and the implants will also have a positive effect on the overall look of your face, as they will provide additional support for the cheeks, creating a more youthful look.

The procedure for mini implants is quicker and less invasive than traditional dentures and you can enjoy the results faster. Implants are also easy to care for.

What does the placement procedure involve?

Placement of the mini dental implants usually only involves one session and we are able to offer light sedation or local anaesthetic to ensure that you feel comfortable and don’t experience any pain. We use a very precise surgical technique to place the implants, leaving the head of the implant exposed through the gum. Once the implants are in place, the denture is then secured onto the head of the implants.
