Dental implants techniques were developed in the 1990s but they have risen in popularity over the past 10 years. Advanced technology has improved implants, imaging to prepare for it, and the procedure itself. Dental implants look and act like natural teeth. They can function for chewing and speaking.
Dental implants are different from other procedures because there are eligibility requirements before you can get them. Requirements include being in overall good health and having good bone density. Bone density is needed so the implant posts can fuse into a solid foundation for the crown to hold. Those without good bone density have the option of getting bone grafts to spur bone growth. A bone graft requires around three months of healing before implants can be inserted.
Another option for those who don’t have a lot of bone density is to get mini dental implants. They are a smaller version that are inserted at an angle so they don’t require a lot of bone to remain stable. Once you get implants, you can eat as you once did, speak with more pronunciation, and smile with confidence.
Traditional, full-size implants are inserted into the jawbone. They fuse into bone and have the crown attached to the top. Getting implants helps preserve bone structure and spur growth because chewing pressure stimulates bone growth.
Mini dental implants are an option for those who can’t tolerate the traditional implant procedure. It’s less invasive and can be done with less bone density. These implants are smaller and are placed at an angle with the crown attached to the top.
