If you’re looking to replace lost teeth, use your time wisely by visiting us in Sterling Heights, MI, for a free consultation!
The Long Conventional Implant Process
A common method for replacing missing teeth is conventional dental implants, which we secure in your jawbone. These titanium screws provide a stable foundation for restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures.
To access your jaw, we must first make an incision in your gums. Then, we use a series of drills that increase in size to create a large hole in the bone. Once we place the implant body in your jaw, we suture your gums to facilitate healing.
While your gums heal, your implant undergoes a process called osseointegration. This process allows your titanium implant to bond with the bone over time. In 4 to 6 months, it will be secure enough to support the abutment, or the connector piece that secures your restoration in place. Once your final restoration is ready, we’ll anchor it in place on your implants!
While effective, conventional implants have a few drawbacks for patients like you. These include:
- Large diameter: Conventional implants are around 5 mm in diameter, requiring ample jawbone for placement. Unfortunately, many patients lack sufficient jawbone structure. While we can restore some jaw structure with a bone graft, it adds to the length and price of your procedure.
- Invasive process: The process of placing a conventional implant involves making incisions and using sutures, which disrupt the tissues surrounding your implant. This disruption requires a long healing period, spanning several months.
- More expensive: Because conventional implants have multiple parts, require many appointments, and often need a bone graft, they are a more expensive procedure.
Fortunately, St. Apollonia Dental offers same-day dental implants as a quicker and less expensive alternative!
Experience the Mini Implant Difference: Same-Day Dental Implants
Mini dental implants are less than 3 mm in diameter and have a sleek, single-piece design. This construction provides many wonderful benefits that make same-day implants possible. These benefits include:
- Smaller diameter: Because mini implants have a narrow diameter, they require a much smaller hole in your jawbone, and less bone structure! This not only eliminates the need for incisions and sutures, but also makes mini implants more accessible for patients with less jawbone material.
- Fewer components: Mini implants have a single-piece construction, which reduces the number of appointments necessary for placement. In just one appointment, we place your mini implant with no additional parts.
- Less invasive: Due to their smaller nature, mini implants require a less invasive procedure. By preserving the tissues surrounding your implant, this process allows for faster healing and immediate stability. At St. Apollonia Dental, we secure a temporary restoration on your implants instantly after placement, providing you with a fully functional smile in just one day!
- Less expensive: Additionally, mini implants are more cost-effective than conventional implants. Because they often don’t require a bone graft and have fewer parts and appointments, you can save money while saving time!
With these amazing innovations, mini dental implants allow us to provide same-day dental implants at an affordable price! During your free consultation, we can determine if you’re a candidate for a mini implant procedure and create a customized treatment plan for your smile.
