Advancements in technology have transformed many aspects of our lives, offering benefits that deeply influence how we live and work. For example, in a single day, you can book travel, catch up on news, stream a movie, and chat with loved ones across the globe, all from your phone. Nowadays, we’re used to life moving quickly, with many tasks just taking minutes to complete. However, some things—like replacing a missing tooth in a single appointment—still seem far-fetched. Fortunately, dental technology has also come a long way, making it entirely possible to get new teeth in one day!
But, how exactly does this work? With mini dental implants, a minimally invasive type of dental implant, Dr. Mapanao can replace missing teeth in a single visit. Thanks to their small size and single-piece design, eligible patients can get new teeth in time for dinner!
Ready to learn more? Below are the top five reasons to consider same-day tooth replacement with mini implants:
1. Smaller Size Means Faster Results
Mini dental implants are significantly smaller than traditional implants, measuring less than 3 mm wide. That’s about the same thickness as a grain of rice! Their small size makes the procedure less invasive, allowing same-day placement of your new teeth.
Unlike traditional implants, mini dental implants typically don’t require bone grafting, a procedure that strengthens the jaw. Instead, Dr. Mapanao can use a minimally invasive technique to gently screw the implant into the available bone.
This less invasive procedure causes less trauma, leading to less bleeding, less pain, and faster healing. Thanks to this gentler approach, many patients can have their implants and new teeth placed in just one day. It’s a quick, effective way to restore your smile with fewer steps and less downtime.
2. Lack of Bone Density Is No Longer a Barrier
It’s not uncommon for patients to be told they can’t get traditional dental implants because they lack sufficient space in their jawbone. This problem is often caused by long-term tooth loss or wearing dentures, which can lead to bone shrinkage over time. But with mini dental implants, bone loss is no longer a dealbreaker. Because these implants are less than 3 mm wide and require less bone, they’re ideal for patients with narrow or weakened jawbones. No bone grafting or lengthy recovery required!
Using advanced CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) technology, Dr. Mapanao can precisely assess your available bone and determine if you’re a good candidate for mini implants. She will then create a personalized treatment plan and decide the size and quantity of implants needed for a secure, natural-looking smile.
3. Restoring Your Smile Maintains Oral Health and Function
Restoring your smile with mini dental implants does more than boost your confidence. It also helps maintain good oral health. Mini implants act like real tooth roots, stimulating your jawbone and helping it stay strong and healthy. This fortified bone helps prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of place, reducing your risk of bite issues, cavities, and gum disease. That means no sunken cheeks or misaligned teeth! You can chew, speak, and laugh comfortably without worrying about slipping dentures or painful gums.
Plus, mini implants look completely natural and can last for decades with proper care. If you’re ready to enjoy your favorite foods again and smile with ease, mini dental implants make it possible in just one visit!
4. Healing After Getting Teeth in a Day Is a Breeze
With mini dental implants, getting a new smile doesn’t mean putting your life on hold. While traditional implants require gum cutting, complex drilling sequences, stitches, and months of healing, mini implants don’t!
Their slim, one-piece design allows for swift placement with minimal trauma to the gums and bone. After the procedure, most patients only need over-the-counter pain relievers and can return to normal activities within one to two days. If you’re looking for a fast, comfortable way to replace missing teeth and get back to your routine, mini dental implants make it simple!
5. Teeth in a Day Are Affordable
Getting a new smile doesn’t have to break the bank. At Agape Dental, our patient-focused philosophy means providing affordable treatments because you deserve access to quality dental care without a hefty price tag.
Thanks to their smaller size and simpler design, mini dental implants are much more cost-effective than traditional implants. Since the placement procedure is less invasive and typically takes just one visit, you can save both time and money. Additionally, mini implants don’t require extra steps like bone grafting, which often increases the cost of traditional treatments.
