When considering tooth replacement, do you ever feel like the options come with difficult trade-offs? You might worry that restoring your smile means stretching your budget, making essential dental care feel out of reach. Or perhaps you’re concerned about the lengthy healing process, wondering how long it will take for your new teeth to truly feel natural. Traditional implants are a reliable choice, but they often involve a longer process and higher costs. Providers like ClearChoice typically offer traditional implants, which can be a great option for some patients, but it’s important to explore all available solutions to find the best fit for your needs. As a Mini Dental Implant Center of America (MDICA), we’re committed to offering solutions that don’t require you to make those tough sacrifices. With us, you won’t have to choose between quality care and convenience—you can have both.
Do You Need Dental Implants?
Have you ever thought about how missing teeth affect your life? Replacing gaps can make a huge difference, whether you’re dealing with just one missing tooth or require a full-mouth reconstruction. Cosmetically, dental implants can transform your smile, making you more confident and eager to show it off. But the benefits go much deeper than looks.
Dental implants also restore function, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth. But what you might not see is how dental implants support your jawbone. When you lose a tooth, the bone in that area can start to weaken and deteriorate. Implants mimic the roots of your teeth, stimulating the jawbone and keeping it strong. This stimulation maintains your facial structure and prevents the sunken look that can come with missing teeth.
ClearChoice or MDICA: How Are They Different?
Traditional and mini dental implants are made of titanium and support missing teeth, providing a stable and lasting solution. However, mini implants, as the name suggests, are much smaller than traditional implants. Convention implants are roughly 5 millimeters in diameter, mini implants are less than 3 millimeters. So, what does this mean for you?
Traditional implants are effective but ask a lot of patients. The treatment timeline for traditional implants is typically longer, requiring multiple appointments over several months. One major factor with traditional implants is that they often require sufficient bone density for successful placement. If you don’t have enough bone mass, you might need a bone graft. This additional procedure helps to build up the bone but also adds to the overall treatment time and complexity.
After placing the implant, a healing period of several months is necessary for proper integration with the jawbone. In many cases, a temporary restoration is used during this time while the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Once healing is complete, the final restoration is securely attached, providing lasting stability and function.
In contrast, mini dental implants streamline the process significantly. Thanks to their smaller size, mini implants often require less invasive procedures.
Mini Dental Implants: Your ClearChoice Alternative
While traditional and mini dental implants aim to give you a stable and lasting smile, mini implants offer a less invasive, quicker, and more convenient option. They eliminate the lengthy treatment timelines and extensive surgical requirements of traditional implants, allowing you to regain your smile with less hassle.
Thanks to their slender form, mini implants can usually be placed in a single visit with minimal surgery. Instead of making large incisions, Dr. Rodriguez or Dr. Lemieux will create a small pilot hole in the gum and jawbone to insert the mini implants. Mini implants also don’t require as much bone density, so they typically do not require bone grafting for placement. These benefits all translate to quicker placement and reduced healing time.
Finally, mini implants are a more affordable option due to their minimally invasive nature. They require fewer procedures and shorter healing periods than traditional implants, which involve multiple surgical steps and longer treatment timelines. This efficiency simplifies the process and reduces costs, sometimes making mini implants up to half the price of traditional implant options.
