Immediate Dental Implants

Replacing broken, damaged, decayed and missing teeth is something that many men and women are currently considering, but oftentimes potential patients hesitate because they feel cost and time will be too involved. With immediate dental implants, patients can have the look and feel of natural teeth with just a single visit to the dentist. Imagine walking into your dentist’s office with missing teeth and walking out with a naturally beautiful smile. It’s possible with mini dental implants.

Mini dental implants are an innovative way for patients to replace missing teeth quickly, easily and with long lasting results. Performed right in your dentist’s office, the treatment begins with the administration of a local anesthetic. Your dentist will then drill small holes through the gum line and into the jaw bone—this is where the dental implants will be inserted (the amount of implants needed will vary from patient to patient depending on the amount of teeth being replaced).

The implants are inserted into the jaw using a specialized wrench with effectively ‘screws’ each implant into place, providing security and stability. When the implant is properly placed, only the head, or abutment, of the implant will be visible above the jaw line. The abutment is what is used to attach the dental prosthetic (crown, bridge, dentures) to the implant for stable, secure results.

Depending on the dental prosthetic being used during treatment, some patients may have a temporary prosthetic placed until the implant has time to properly fuse with the jaw bone. In other cases, the permanent dental prosthetic will be placed during the same dental visit.  Either way, patients can walk out of their dentist’s office and can use their new teeth immediately.

Immediate dental implants are great for patients because they involve little to no pain, no downtime and offer immediate results.  For those who currently suffer with an imperfect smile, mini dental implants can offer you the solution you’re looking for without the hassle of several visits to the dentist that can span weeks if not months.
