Things To Put Into Consideration About Mini Dental Implants

By Nelda Powers


Mini dental implants is a procedure that involves inserting small titanium posts into a patients jaw in order to the denture to fit securely. The miniature titanium is used to replace missing roots that and hold up to artificial teeth. The Implants are very comfortable and are not different from real teeth if inserted properly. A patient can even eat few hours after the procedure is done.

When a patient visits his or her dentist, the two of them together with the periodontist go through the whole process of teeth replacement before setting up a date or time the surgery will be carried out. Mini implants do not require a lot of work but it is good to seek the services of a professional. Apart from your dentist and periodontist other specialists that maybe involved in this procedure include prosthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons.

These types of implants can be used for a very long time as supporting structures. They can also be used in single tooth replacements of crowns and bridges. The denture will sit comfortably and will be held securely on gums if placed properly. A denture wearer will be confident and feel good about themselves because of mini dental implants as they are very effective.

For one to qualify for dental implant he should be healthy generally and orally. In order for the implant to fuse properly a patient should have gum tissues that are healthy and free from periodontal diseases. This type of surgery is done to the lower jaw and is it is not advisable to carry the procedure into the upper jaw.

Some patients may have side effects which may include swelling or discomfort on the area where the implant was placed. Discomfort mostly disappears within 48hours but where the client continues feeling uncomfortable after two days he or she is advised to go back to the dentist and have the place checked out. Patients can also swallow pain killers like paracetamol to relieve pain and swelling where need be.

With these types of implants no surgery or incision is required hence people who fall in high risk group can go for this kind of treatment. Regular smokers, people who have recently undergone heart surgery, those with diabetes and those with blood clot problems among others can undergo this procedure.

Before the procedure is carried out, patients are required to consult with the periodontist and dentist. The periodontist and dentist will determine how, where and when the implant will be placed depending with the condition of the client. Detailed assessment of the stomato-gnathic system is done on the patient through compilation of records about x-rays, study models of the mouth and bite among others.

Other times the jawbone may not fuse properly with the implant therefore making it to become loose this is majorly attributed to poor planning and inaccuracy during the procedure. Loose implants may not necessarily cause pain but they will lead to discomfort and instability of the denture. Proper oral care and check ups are crucial as they will ensure that the mini dental implants fuse properly to the jaw bone and are therefore very secure.
