Replacing missing teeth is important to maintain your oral health and self-confidence. The Dallas Mini Dental Implants Dentist understands the feelings of embarrassment that most people in this situation experience when speaking or smiling. Even more important is that losing a tooth can create other serious dental problems. Your teeth are always moving whether you realize it or not. So replacing a missing tooth as soon as possible is important because it prevents the rest of your teeth from shifting into the empty space.
But there are options for regaining a beautiful and healthy smile after losing a tooth. Dental implants and mini dental implants are fairly new treatments that actually take the place of the structure of your natural teeth.
Both dental implants and mini dental implants use titanium roots surgically implanted into the jawbone. This titanium root acts as a replacement structure for your natural root. Once the replacement has healed sufficiently, the titanium roots are covered with a dental restoration that blends in with your natural teeth.
A mini dental implant is just a smaller version of a conventional dental implant. The main difference is that the titanium root of the mini is much smaller than that of a traditional dental implant. The advantage is that the process for implanting the mini dental implant surgically creates much less trauma for the jawbone. Another great benefit for you is that recovery time proceeds much more quickly than for a traditional implant.
Mini dental implants are perfect for replacing teeth in small spaces in the mouth. They are also very useful for anchoring dentures or bridges spanning several teeth. Your Dallas Mini Dental Implants Dentist is most qualified to make the choice, but you may need a mini dental implant if you do not have sufficient bone density to place a regular dental implant root.
