Things To Put Into Consideration About 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.

The miniatures titanium is usually inserted into the jawbone for it to act as a replacement of the root of a normal tooth. The implant has a head that is shaped like a ball while the retaining fixture operates as a socket. An artificial tooth is attached to the implant to replace the missing tooth. Implants act as anchors that hold the tooth replacement in the right place.

These types of implants can be used for a very long time as supporting structures. They can also be used in single tooth replacements of crowns and bridges. The denture will sit comfortably and will be held securely on gums if placed properly. A denture wearer will be confident and feel good about themselves because of mini dental implants as they are very effective.

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.

Denture retention is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. These implants have been used for decades by different kinds of patients in the world. Dentures have been improved over the years with the presence of high technology in the medical industry, they no longer slide into patients jaws hence they help in retaining the jaw bones normal shape.

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.

Like natural teeth mini dental implants should always be clean. Brush them like you would your natural teeth. The dentist will show the patient how to cleaning implants after the procedure. It is very important to go for regular check-ups in order for the dentist to ensure that the bite is right and the implants are not loose. In case of any pain the patient should visit the dentist immediately for examination.
