Many people view their homes as their sanctuary, a place where they feel secure and at peace. So, when something goes wrong, like a burst pipe or a shattered window, they wouldn’t trust just anyone to fix it.

They have the skills and experience to ensure your new teeth look natural and work perfectly.
When it comes to your dental health, why settle for less? Just like you’d call a trusted expert for your home repairs, choose a mini implant dentist at Carolina Dental Arts to restore your smile!
What Are Dental Implants?
When teeth are lost, several problems can arise. The gap left by a missing tooth can cause surrounding teeth to shift, leading to misalignment and bite issues. This misalignment can make it difficult to chew properly, impacting your diet and nutrition. Additionally, the jawbone in the area of the lost tooth can deteriorate over time because of a lack of stimulation from chewing. The progression of bone loss can change the shape of your face, leading to premature aging.
Dental implants provide an effective solution to these issues. They are artificial tooth roots that provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth like crowns, bridges, and dentures. A dental implant is a small titanium post inserted into the jawbone where the tooth is missing. Over time, the post bonds with the surrounding bone through osseointegration, forming a strong and permanent base for the replacement tooth.
Since they are anchored into the jawbone, dental implants halt the progression of bone loss and help maintain the structure of your face. They are also incredibly durable. With proper care, they can last a lifetime, making them a better long-term solution than traditional tooth replacement options like bridges and conventional dentures.
What Can a Mini Implant Dentist Do for Me?
If you have experienced tooth loss for some time and have settled for conventional dentures, you might have noticed some bone loss in your jaw, making your dentures fit less securely and comfortably. Or perhaps you have just undergone periodontal treatment that required an extraction. The last thing you want to endure now is extensive tooth replacement surgery. That’s why the dentists at Carolina Dental Arts specialize in mini dental implants.
Mini dental implants differ significantly from conventional implant options, starting with their size. Mini implants are less than 3 millimeters, while traditional implants are roughly 5 millimeters in diameter. Think of the tip of a crayon compared to a pencil eraser. That’s about the size difference between traditional and mini implants. So, what does that mean for you?
First, the smaller size of mini implants makes the procedure less invasive, translating to less discomfort and a quicker recovery time. Unlike conventional implants, which often require extensive surgery and a lengthy healing period, mini implants can usually be placed in a single visit with minimal downtime.
Additionally, the smaller diameter of mini implants allows our dentists to use them even when there might not be enough bone to support conventional implants. This feature is especially beneficial if you have experienced bone loss in your jaw. Mini implants require less bone density and may eliminate the need for bone grafting, a procedure often necessary with conventional implants.
The Benefits of Choosing a Mini Implant Dentist
Mini dental implants are efficient, minimally invasive, and cost-effective. Because of their smaller size and straightforward placement process, they often cost half as much as traditional implants. The less invasive nature of mini implants means fewer appointments and quicker recovery times, which translates to savings on both time and money. Also, there’s often no need for additional procedures like bone grafting, which can drive up the cost of traditional implants.
