Learn More Mini Dental Implants

By Nelda Powers


Mini dental implants is a procedure that involves inserting small titanium posts into a patients jaw in order to the denture to fit securely. The miniature titanium is used to replace missing roots that and hold up to artificial teeth. The Implants are very comfortable and are not different from real teeth if inserted properly. A patient can even eat few hours after the procedure is done.

Specialists take x-rays of the jaw bone in order to know the kind of implants that are suitable. X-rays enables the dentist to carefully inspect patients jaws and teeth and be in position to identify other areas that require treatment. Most dentists use panoramic radiograph as it gives an enhanced view of upper and lower teeth.

Due to the use of mini implants the dentist needs to be accurate when carrying out the procedure hence the importance of using panoramic radiography. Today nearly all dental surgeries that are performed on patients turn out to be very successful. There are few or no complications during or after the procedure that are associated with this kind of surgery as it takes less time and no major surgery is done on patients.

While patients are mostly required to have healthy gums and be in good health to qualify for dental implants, mini surgery can be done on anyone even people with health issues as no incision or major surgery is required. Also people with bleeding problems can undergo this procedure as little local anesthesia is used.Most dental surgeries are usually carried out in two or three stages depending on the number of procedures that need to be carried out.

However this medical procedure can be carried out within one to two hours. No stitching is done on the gum tissue as the small implants are screwed gently into the ridge of the jaw. This procedure is better when it is done on the lower as opposed to the upper jaw.

With these types of implants no surgery or incision is required hence people who fall in high risk group can go for this kind of treatment. Regular smokers, people who have recently undergone heart surgery, those with diabetes and those with blood clot problems among others can undergo this procedure.

Some people lack confidence because of gaps in their mouths. Other people who wear dentures may not be comfortable because they fear that the denture is not firm and will therefore not stay in place firmly. Stabilization of implants by the dentist will help such patients in gaining confidence as the implants will play the same role as real teeth.

The duration for healing is short compared to other kind of dental surgery however it may vary in patients. The difference is highly due to the difference in the quality of the bones of patients. Generally there is little or no discomfort after the surgery of mini dental implants is done and where the patients feels uneasy, it only take two days or less and the feeling is gone.
