Why Our Patients in Green Brook Township Love Mini-Dental Implants

Mini dental implants are an excellent way to replace missing teeth. At our Green Brook Township dentist office, we regularly provide them to patients who have lost several of their teeth or are experiencing complete tooth loss. The benefit to mini implants is that you are able to have a secure prosthetic that will remain in place and not need removal on a nightly basis, as dentures require.

Mini dental implants are an incredibly popular treatment with our patients and below are a few reasons why:

#1 Mini dental implants look natural

When you replace missing teeth with dental implants, you get the benefit of a new tooth that looks exactly like your natural tooth. Dental implants are a standalone solution that does not use your surrounding teeth for security. Dental implants do not require wires or clasps, as other products do. As a result, the tooth stands independently and looks incredibly natural.
When creating the dental crown or tooth portion of your implant, we take measurements and an impression of your mouth as well as matching the existing shade of your natural teeth. This way, once we place the implant, you will not be able to tell the difference between your natural tooth and the mini dental implant.

#2  Mini dental implants are secure

One of the biggest complaints we hear from people who have lost a tooth or several teeth is that they do not feel secure with their dental reconstruction. This may seem like a small nuance, however, it is actually an incredibly big deal because it influences what you think about when you go out to eat with your friends or exercise.
If you are thinking about your teeth all the time, then they become a hindrance. One of the biggest benefits of replacing teeth with implants is that we surgically place and secure them to your jawbone. Mini dental implants are as secure as your natural teeth. As a result, you do not have to struggle with extra worry about your teeth.

#3 Mini-dental implants are convenient

When comparing the solution to traditional and dental implants, many people prefer the mini dental implants over other options.  Mini dental implants will frequently work for patients that have lost a portion of their bone density due to tooth loss and resorption. Traditional implants are longer and thinner, so they require your jawbone to be denser.
The problem is that after tooth loss you will begin to go through resorption where the body leaches calcium away from your jawbone for use elsewhere. The result is a jawbone that is weak and in need of a bone grafting procedure prior to placing implants. Mini-dental implants are shorter and wider so they very often do not require this initial step. As a result, the process can be completed much faster.

Modern Dentures Are More Comfortable and Convenient

If you need to replace your teeth, consider the benefits of modern dentures. While they have been around for centuries, they used to be ill-fitting and uncomfortable. If you imagine dentures and picture someone with loose and overly large teeth, thing again. They are now more natural-looking, comfortable, and easier to wear than ever before. The key is to see a Green Brook Township dentist who can fit you for the perfect set.

Why We Recommend Dentures

#1 - As a temporary solution

Very often, we provide patients with a temporary set to wear while they determine how they want to replace their teeth in the long term. Also, since cosmetic restorations can take time, many patients will wear a denture throughout the process. For example, if you were to replace missing teeth with dental implants, we would need to implant a titanium post under the gums and secure it to the jawbone in each place you are missing a tooth.
While this is sturdiest and most dependable solution long-term, it still takes some time to complete the process and for the patient to heal. This makes it necessary to wear a temporary solution for up to several months. Fortunately, we can provide you one that will make your smile appear intact.

#2 - For partial tooth loss

If you have lost one or several teeth, we can fit you for a set of partial dentures that will restore your smile. We will secure your replacement teeth to a gum base that is molded to leave room for all your remaining teeth. These can either be flexible or they can be secured using wires and hooks.

#3 - For complete tooth loss

We can also create a full set of dentures to replace all of your teeth. If you have lost them earlier and now have a set of dentures that does not fit you properly, we can create a new set for you as well. This is done by making an impression of your mouth and taking precise measurements. We will have the dental lab create your new teeth using our direction, so we can ensure they are the right size for your frame. In this case, we do not need to worry about them matching your surrounding teeth, as we do with partials, but they still need to match the overall size and shape of your face.
We are experts at ensuring that they do, so when you have your false teeth in, it looks as though you have a natural set instead. By being precise with your fitting, we can also ensure that they fit snuggly and securely so as not to slip out of place while you are eating or speaking.
