  • And more!

Losing teeth is difficult for multiple reasons. Mini implants could help you get back what you are missing. Call 509-850-3217 for an appointment with Dr. Craig Ellsworth at Family Dental of Spokane Valley. Discuss your options for teeth replacement with Dr. Ellsworth during a consultation for just $20.

Going Small Has Big Advantages

Bone loss in your jaw is common after losing teeth. As a result, many people lack the bone tissue to support standard implants. This is when mini implants can be a better option.

Just like standard implants, these smaller versions can support dental crowns and bridges as well as dentures. Mini implants will keep your replacement teeth secure in your mouth. They also can stop continued bone loss in the future. Since these implants are smaller, the process is less invasive. Your recovery time is shorter as well. In other words, you can start enjoying the benefits of your implant-supported teeth earlier by going small.

In fact, some people can get their replacement teeth on the same day they get their mini implants. Dr. Ellsworth can help you find out if this is possible for you.

Save Money By Avoiding a Bone Graft

Before mini implants, someone who lost a lot of bone in their jaw needed a bone graft prior to getting full-sized implants. This is a kind of transplant of bone tissue to strengthen your jaw. This procedure requires time to complete, time to recover, and additional expense.

With mini implants, most patients can skip the bone graft entirely. This is just another reason a mini dental implant procedure could help you enjoy your new smile faster.

You can rebuild your smile. Mini dental implants in Spokane Valley, WA could help. To find out, call 509-850-3217 for a consultation at Family Dental of Spokane Valley.

Common Questions About Mini Dental Implants

As the name implies, a mini dental implant is a smaller version of a dental implant. As with traditional dental implants, a post is surgically embedded into your jaw to act as a foundation for the dental restoration that will replace your tooth or teeth. The main difference between mini dental implants and traditional dental implants is that a smaller titanium post is used (about half the size of the titanium post used for traditional dental implants), which requires a less invasive procedure.

Mini dental implants are used for patients who are not good candidates for traditional implants. They may not have enough bone for full-sized implants to fuse with, so minis are used instead. They require less bone material and allow for a shorter healing period, as their placement procedure is less invasive.

Mini dental implants can be as effective as standard implants. Because of their small size, they are used in areas where the jawbone is not as thick or strong since they don’t require as much healthy bone to bond with. Mini implants may remain in your jaw for decades without showing any problems or needing any special care.

The procedure to place mini dental implants is less invasive than the procedure for full-size implants. That typically means your treatment is quicker and more comfortable. Many patients receive nothing more than local anesthesia, though you can also receive dental sedation if you’d like. Mini implants also heal more quickly than full-size implants.
