Explore Mini Dental Implants in Passaic County, NJ at Fine Dental Care!

New Jersey, often called the Garden State, is known for its fertile soil and thriving agriculture. Jersey classics like delicious sweet corn and juicy red tomatoes are staples of the state that locals know and love! Unfortunately, not everyone in Jersey is able to participate in the love for these delicacies. People with missing teeth often lack the ability to chew certain foods, like corn on the cob, as they struggle to break them down. Patients in New Jersey are not immune to tooth loss, as the 9.5 million residents there are just as susceptible to gum disease, decay, and genetic predisposition. Fortunately, Fine Dental Care offers a solution that allows patients like you to eat freely again, enjoying the fruits of New Jersey farmer’s labor. Located in Passaic County, we offer mini dental implants to restore your smile!

Understanding Mini Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium posts we place in your jawbone to support restorations that replace missing teeth. These restorations include dental crowns (replacing one tooth), dental bridges (replacing multiple teeth in a row), and dentures (replacing the entire arch of your smile).

Traditional dental implants are large in diameter, taking up a lot of jawbone for us to place. Often, patients will need a bone graft—a procedure that replenishes lost bone—just to be eligible for the procedure!

We place the implant post first. This process is invasive, as we must create an incision in your gums and use a series of large drills in the bone. Once placed, we stitch the gums back up to facilitate healing. Because traditional implants have many components, this is a process we repeat over several appointments, taking around 3 months to complete. While you heal, your implant bonds with your bone, creating a stable foundation for your crown, bridge, or denture.

While traditional implants are a reliable solution, mini dental implants are just as reliable and have many additional benefits!

Mini dental implants are much smaller in diameter, which means most patients don’t require a bone graft for their procedure. Additionally, the placement process for mini implants is minimally invasive, which allows for much faster healing. Rather than several months, you can have stable mini implants in just a few weeks!

Once your implant is placed, they can immediately support a temporary restoration—so you never have to go toothless. After your implant is fully secure, we’ll swamp that restoration out for a final, providing you with a brand new and beautiful smile!

Using Mini Dental Implants in Passaic County

At Fine Dental Care, we use both traditional dental implants and mini dental implants. Using a digital 3D scan, we assess your jawbone to determine if you have adequate bone for dental implants. Afterward, we create a custom plan for your needs, deciding which implant to use and where to place them.

Often, we prefer to use mini implants because of the amazing benefits they offer our patients. These benefits include:

• Faster healing: Due to their minimally invasive procedure, mini implants disturb less of the tissues surrounding your implant. This allows your gums and bone to heal faster and your implant to quickly secure to your jawbone.
• Smaller size: Mini implants are any size less than 3 millimeters, which makes them about half the size of traditional implants. Because of their narrow diameter, they require much less bone! Without ample jawbone, many patients can forgo the bone graft, saving them time and money.
• Fewer appointments: These implants don’t only differ in size from traditional implants but also in design. Mini implants have only one piece, rather than several, allowing us to place them in a single appointment. Without the need to schedule various appointments, you spend less time at the dentist’s office and less money.
• Less expensive: Fewer appointments, fewer components, and often no bone graft significantly reduce the price of mini implants. Amazingly, mini dental implants often end up half the cost of traditional implants.
