Tooth loss affects people of all ages. Children lose their baby teeth naturally, but adults lose teeth for different reasons—from gum disease and decay to dental trauma and lifestyle factors. As we age, tooth loss becomes more prevalent. According to the CDC, 1 in 4 older adults have eight or fewer teeth, and 1 in 6 have lost all their natural teeth. Unfortunately, as an adult, the Tooth Fairy doesn’t visit with monetary rewards. Luckily, there are effective dental procedures that address the challenges of tooth loss. An implant dentist like Dr. Bruce Fine can evaluate your needs and implement advanced solutions.
What Are Dental Implants?
When a tooth falls out, it takes the tooth root with it, so not only are you missing the chewing power of a lost tooth, but also the root, which stimulates the jawbone to prevent loss of tissue and bone. Dental implants replace the missing tooth roots, creating a firm anchor in the jawbone to support an artificial crown, bridge, or denture. Whether you lost a tooth because of an accident, gum disease, or other factors, dental implants can restore your smile.
What Does an Implant Dentist Do?
Dental implants can fix many oral health issues, from filling small gaps to replacing an entire arch. They’re perfect if you want to:
- Replace a single tooth with a crown.
- Bridge the gap of several missing teeth.
- Restore an entire arch of teeth with implant dentures.
- Stabilize your current dentures.
Apart from making your smile complete, dental implants have additional oral health benefits. They stop other teeth from shifting into the gaps and creating a misaligned bite, and they keep your jawbone healthy while maintaining your face’s natural structure. A skilled implant dentist, such as Dr. Fine, can enhance not only the aesthetic aspects of your smile but also the overall functionality of your mouth.
It should be noted that some existing health issues, certain medications, and other factors can affect who is a good candidate for dental implants. When you meet with Dr. Fine for your free consultation, he’ll discuss your full medical history and evaluate your situation to determine the right treatment path for your needs. With Dr. Fine’s guidance, you can be confident you’re getting the best possible care.

Mini Implants: The Implant Dentist’s Choice
Throughout his career, Dr. Fine has made it a top priority to provide cutting-edge dental solutions to his patients. He is committed to staying at the forefront of the dental field by investing in state-of-the-art equipment and staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in dentistry. Mini dental implants, in particular, are a remarkable tooth replacement innovation that has become a focal point of Dr. Fine’s practice.
The purpose of mini implants is the same as standard implants: they replace missing teeth. However, mini implants offer key advantages over their traditional counterparts, such as:
- Smaller size: Traditional implants are larger and require multiple steps to complete the placement procedure. Mini implants, on the other hand, are half the size, and their single-piece titanium design means a more efficient process.
- Less invasive procedure: Because of their size, traditional implants are more invasive, and they often require a bone grafting procedure. Mini implants simplify this process. Thanks to their narrow diameter, they can often be placed in a single day.
- Faster recovery: The smaller size of mini implants also means a quicker recovery. Many people are back to their usual routine in just 24-48 hours after the procedure.
- More cost-effective: Thanks to their size, design, and efficiency, mini implants are more cost-effective than their traditional counterparts.
