A
typical dental implant is a titanium post that looks like a tooth
root. The implant is surgically positioned into the jawbone
underneath the gum line. In order to qualify for dental implants, you
must have healthy gums and sufficient bone to support the implant.
For patients who are looking to replace their lost tooth, but do not
want conventional restorations, mini dentals are the best option for
them.
Mini
implants have the structure similar to regular implants. However,
they are slightly smaller in form. The procedure for mini implants
can be completed quickly at a much lower cost. Further, the recovery
or healing time is quite shorter because smaller incisions are
required due to the smaller size of the implant device. Mini implants
may be required in various circumstances by individuals with: gaps in
areas of their mouth due to the failure of growth of adult teeth,
broken teeth or teeth damaged beyond repair, etc.
After
a successful implantation, mini dental implants require the same care
as natural teeth. If you are considering going for this type of
dental implant make certain to consult a professional and
well-experienced dentist.
