Natural teeth have important roots that embed in your jawbone, creating a stable foundation for your smile. Every time you chew or bite, these roots stimulate your jaw, helping maintain the health and density of your bone! When you lose teeth, however, you lose this stimulation, resulting in bone resorption. This natural process involves the loss of bone mass and volume, resulting in incredibly unfortunate consequences for both your oral and overall health. As your jaw deteriorates, patients like you may experience jaw pain, wrinkly skin, and difficulties replacing teeth down the line. Fortunately, Dr. Berger in Sonora, CA, has a fast-acting solution! With mini dental implants, he can restore your smile and replace your missing tooth roots in just one appointment! With no time to waste, we encourage you to replace your missing teeth in a day with mini implant treatment.
Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants are durable metal posts we secure in your jaw to anchor your artificial teeth. By replacing your missing tooth roots, these implants also provide the necessary stimulation to keep your jawbone healthy! Unfortunately, dental implants are notorious for their long healing periods and multiple appointments, causing many patients to hesitate seeking treatment.
Conventional dental implants are around 5 mm in diameter, requiring ample bone structure for support. However, patients seeking to restore their smile often lack the necessary jaw structure due to bone resorption.
While we can provide additional procedures to rebuild lost bone, bone grafts and sinus lifts add to both the cost and the length of your implant procedure.
Fortunately, Dr. Berger utilizes a different method! He uses mini dental implants instead, the smaller and sleeker version of conventional implants. These titanium posts are 3 mm in diameter and require significantly less bone structure than their conventional counterparts. Typically, patients ineligible for conventional implants are still able to support mini implants, even with minimal bone!
Additionally, mini implants feature a unique one-piece design that allows Dr. Berger to place them in a single appointment. For patients seeking to reduce costs, minimize procedure time, and restore their smiles in one day, we recommend scheduling a free mini dental implant consultation to determine if you’re eligible for same-day dental implants!
How Mini Implants Make Teeth in a Day Possible!
Mini dental implants provide numerous advantages for patients to enjoy, such as:
- Minimally invasive procedure: Conventional dental implants require incisions and large drills for placement, as they’re more complex in structure. In contrast, mini dental implants have a sleek design that allows for a minimally invasive procedure! Without the need for incisions and a series of drills that increase in size, mini implants are better suited for those seeking a simpler method.
- Single-piece design: Unlike conventional implants, mini implants feature a one-piece design. Because they’re a single titanium post, Dr. Berger places these implants in just one appointment, without healing periods between parts! Thanks to this simple design, mini implants save you both time and money.
- Affordable price tag: Mini implants have only one component, require fewer appointments, and reduce the need for additional procedures. These advantages make mini implants around half the cost of conventional dental implants.
- Teeth in a day: Due to their minimally invasive procedure and sleek design, mini dental implants allow you to replace your missing teeth in just one day! In one appointment, Dr. Berger can secure a mini dental implant in your jawbone using a minimally invasive procedure that facilitates fast healing. Immediately upon placement, he’ll secure a temporary restoration or healing cap to maintain the aesthetics of your smile and support proper recovery.
While conventional dental implants take almost a year to complete, Dr. Berger places your mini implants in just one day.
The Teeth in a Day Process
At Sonora Dentist, Dr. Berger starts with a free implant consultation.
During this appointment, he will take a 3D digital X-ray of your smile to assess the quality and quantity of your jaw. If you have enough jawbone to support mini dental implants, he’ll then design a custom treatment plan for your smile.
At your procedural appointment, he’ll use a local anesthetic to numb your gums and jaw. Once you’re comfortable, Dr. Berger will make a tiny pilot hole through your gums and into your bone. This hole is about the width of a toothpick, guiding your mini implant into your jaw.
After carefully screwing the implant in place, your mini implant will immediately begin stabilizing in your jaw. Depending on your case, Dr. Berger may even secure a temporary crown on top of your implant that very same day.
For implant dentures, he will likely attach your final denture within 24 hours, securing your smile in place. For crowns and bridges, however, your implants will need a few weeks before stabilizing a final restoration. Throughout your healing period, you’ll enjoy temporary solutions that maintain the aesthetic of your smile and help protect the implant while it heals.
In just one day at Sonora Dentist, you can replace your missing teeth with mini dental implant treatment!
