With the innovations in dentistry, there are now more options than just dentures, and two alternatives are traditional dental implants in Reno and mini dental implants. As you read on, a dentist compares the two procedures to determine which is better for replacing your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sagedentalnv.com\/dental-implants.html\">missing teeth<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is a Dental Implant?<\/h2>\n<p>A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically inserted beneath the gumline and acts as a replacement for missing teeth roots. It affixes to the jawbone and fuses with the same over time through a process called osseointegration. This is made possible because titanium is a biocompatible material, which means your mouth is less likely to reject it.<\/p>\n<p>After you heal from the initial placement of the post, an abutment is added that allows a final restoration (crown, bridge or denture) to be attached.<\/p>\n<h2>The Mini Implant Difference<\/h2>\n<p>Like the traditional dental implant, the mini implant also inserts into the jawbone. The difference between the mini and the traditional implant is the former is half a diameter smaller than a traditional implant.<\/p>\n<p>The mini implant\u2019s design is geared toward allowing people without sufficient bone mass to still undergo the implant process. This creates other challenges, though.<\/p>\n<h2>Traditional vs. Mini Dental Implants<\/h2>\n<p>The following is a comparison between traditional and mini implants over three categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Comfort <\/strong>\u2013 Patients typically experience greater comfort with traditional implants. Because the latter are bigger, they distribute the weight applied to the jawbone better.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Efficiency <\/strong>\u2013 It requires two mini implants to provide the same support as a single traditional implant. Thus, the latter is the more efficient procedure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Healing Time <\/strong>\u00ad\u2013 When it comes to healing, the time required with mini implants is usually longer than the traditional method. This is also attributed to the amount of force that is applied to the jawbone with the mini implant procedure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Final Decision Comes Down to This<\/h2>\n<p>The only way to make a final determination about which method is best for you is to visit an implant dentist in Reno to undergo a full examination. The expert will capture a full set of X-Ray photos to evaluate your current condition and develop the most successful treatment plan.<\/p>\n<p>With your new implants and restorations, you\u2019ll soon have a boost to your self-esteem, a beautiful smile and the ability to speak with confidence.
