Losing a tooth or several teeth causes more than a change in your smile; it affects your day-to-day life. But did you know missing teeth can affect your physical health as well? Gaps in your smile cause you to alter your diet as certain foods, especially raw fruits and vegetables, become difficult to eat. A recent study from Rutgers University shows that each missing tooth results in a 2% increase in the chance of obesity, and each pair of opposing molars increases that likelihood by 7% as people turn to softer, less healthy options like mashed potatoes, doughnuts, and cookies. Luckily for those in NJ, mini dental implants from Fine Dental Care offer a quick, effective, and affordable way to replace your missing teeth and maintain your diet.
Understanding the Problem: Tooth Loss and Its Impact
A single missing tooth is a nuisance, but multiple teeth can seriously impact your life. It can force changes in your diet, making some favorite foods too hard to eat. Speech can suffer, leading to lisps and poor articulation due to changes in your facial structure. Holes in your smile can also affect your confidence. If you’re constantly worried about how your smile looks, it can make activities like taking photos or laughing at jokes full of anxiety.
However, the biggest problem with tooth loss is what happens to your jawbone. Without tooth roots to stimulate the bone and surrounding tissue, they quickly deteriorate. Traditional tooth replacement methods like removable dentures and old-fashioned bridges won’t do anything to prevent this. You need something to replace those tooth roots to keep your jawbone healthy and your facial appearance intact. As the Mini Dental Implant Center of America in Wayne, NJ, we specialize in using mini implants as artificial tooth roots to help replace missing teeth.
The Benefits of Mini Dental Implants
Unlike traditional dental implants with a larger, two-piece design, mini dental implants have a sleek, one-piece design. These smaller implants, less than half the size of standard ones, are suitable for those with smaller jawbones. They support various tooth replacement solutions, be it crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Using mini implants provides several advantages over their larger counterparts:
- Quick and efficient process: The placement procedure for mini implants only takes a few minutes and doesn’t require incisions, stitches, or bone grafts. Mini implants fuse with your jawbone much faster than traditional implants, significantly reducing the total healing timeline.
- Minimal discomfort: Because the procedure is minimally invasive, you’ll experience less soreness afterward.
- Immediate results: With mini implants, there’s no waiting period. If your final custom tooth replacement isn’t ready, we can immediately load the implants with a temporary restoration. You can use your new teeth as soon as you leave the office.
- Long-lasting effects: These implants are made from durable titanium, giving them a stellar success rate and impressive durability.
- More affordable options: Mini dental implants are half the cost of standard implants, making them a reality for a wider range of patients.
