Mini Dental Implants by New Albany Implant Dentist

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Dental implants used to be the most expensive dental restoration procedure available. Expensive material, prolonged treatments and multiple necessary implant dentist visits were common, together with a very long recovery time and a lot of work for the dentist as well as the patient. Dental implants went a long way since then, it is now possible to implant dental screws right after the excision procedure. Nevertheless, the most revolutionary improvement was the invention of mini dental implants. Mini dental implants were invented as support for dental bridges and to affix full dentures. The trick was to ideate a solution for the necessary micro mobility so that the bridges and dentures would not break.

This solution has now been developed into an affordable procedure for dental implants. Mini dental implants do not require extensive surgery and recovery time, any stitches or sutures, any excessive time where you wait if your implant has employed osseointegration properly or has been rejected by jaw bone tissue. This procedure requires minimal invasive surgery and the screws can be loaded with tooth replacements immediately. With a surgical scalpel, just a minimal amount of the gingiva is being removed where the drilling for the mini dental implant is made, and that is all the surgery that is necessary. The ease of recovery and the short loading time are the main reasons you may consider this procedure.

Dental Treatments That Can Be Completed in Only One or Two Visits

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Dental implants used to have this aura of being not available to mere mortals and requiring extended procedures and visits to the dentist, with prolonged recovery time and possible rejection by the host tissue. Most of these concerns have been addressed by the dental community and have received an improvement which is supposed to make it not only available to many, but also make it become as easily performed as regular crown work, with all treatment completed in only one or two visits to the dentist.

If it sounds too good to be true, then keep in mind that some small percentage of patients still can experience rejection by the host tissue, although these cases can be addressed by additional assistance and medication. Furthermore, some weak jawbones will still need grafting before a successful procedure. But most patients can enjoy the immediate implant placement, performed right after the tooth extraction. This relatively new procedure allows the dental surgeon to implant the replacement screw, either made out of titanium, or more recently out of zirconium, right after the excision, with immediate crown loading procedures following the same day.

Some patients will have to stick to the longer treatment plan, but to find out if you can have all treatment completed in only one or two visits, inquire with your dentist.

Surgical Treatments Without Sutures and With Minimal Healing Time

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

When speaking about dental implants, there has been a massive promotional campaign by the dentists and cosmetic surgeons specialized for cosmetic dentistry in favor of this invasive and seemingly prolonged implant procedure. Many Hollywood actors and actresses have since the invention of this beautifying and seemingly permanent dental replacement underwent the procedure, which is proving to be one of the most performed cosmetic surgeries in the United States. Nevertheless, the prolonged recovery time and the duration of the osseointegration of the titanium implants spoke very much against the procedure getting the widespread acceptability as desired by the dental community.

Mainly because of these expressed concerns, another procedure has been invented, whereby an implant is immediately been screwed into a freshly extracted tooth’s space. The drilling site requires no flapping of the gums, but a miniscule portion of the gingiva is removed right at the drilling point and the screw is being placed without delay; a temporary crown is being placed or sometimes even the permanent crown is being fitted straight away. Recent statistical data have proven that such a procedure shortened the overall healing time, the implants are almost as stable and accepted by the tissue as that from delayed implantations and no surgical sutures were required.

Treatments That Cost Lesser Than The Traditional Surgical Implants

Monday, December 15th, 2008

When looking for a high quality replacement for your sick tooth, then there are several possibilities you may want to take into consideration. Dental implants are considered to be as close to the original as currently possible through dental wizardry, but they are extremely expensive and the actual application takes a long while. There are current improvements in the works, where a recently removed tooth can be almost immediately replaced with an implant, but the cost remains almost the same.

The only other option widely considered as a viable contender to this procedure is veneer, either porcelain or composite. The reason for the consideration is the lower cost and the conventional application, either as a crown or as a bridge, replacing missing teeth. There is no surgical procedure necessary and the recovery time is minimal. Depending on the materials used, this procedure may run thousands of dollars less than the implant procedure and due to current improved cements and bonding agents, the duration of such a veneer can surpass the ten year limitation significantly.

The main plus side, besides the lower cost, is the non invasive technique applied, whereby there are no osseointegration periods required and no rejection possible or applicable by the host tissue.
