When it comes to tooth replacement, do you ever feel like your options force you into difficult decisions? Perhaps you’re worried that maintaining your oral health means spending more than you’re comfortable with, making it feel like a luxury rather than a necessity. Or maybe you’re concerned about the long, drawn-out process of waiting for your new teeth to heal—wondering when they’ll finally feel like a natural part of you. With traditional implants, this can be the case. With providers like ClearChoice, the costs and recovery time can sometimes be significant. But 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, often offered by providers like ClearChoice, 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, you’ll need a healing period lasting several months. Now, providers like ClearChoice typically boast that they can provide new teeth in just one day. But they don’t tell you this is typically a temporary restoration you wear while the implant heals. During this time, the implant integrates with the bone through osseointegration. The final restoration can be attached to the implant only after thw healing period.
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.
