What Are Mini Implants Fixed Bridges?
Mini Implant Fixed Bridges in Louisville, KY, is a modern dental solution that replaces missing teeth with more stability than traditional dentures. Unlike conventional dental implants, mini implants are smaller in diameter, making them less invasive and more suitable for patients with less bone density. These implants support fixed bridges, restoring both function and aesthetics to your smile. The result is a natural-looking and durable replacement that feels like your teeth.
When Are Mini Implant Fixed Bridges Recommended?
- Multiple Missing Teeth: Mini Implant Fixed Bridges are ideal for patients who have lost numerous teeth but still have adequate bone structure. They provide a stable and permanent solution without additional bone grafting, making them an excellent choice for many.
- Uncomfortable Dentures: For those who struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures, mini implants offer a more secure alternative. They eliminate the hassle of adhesives and the worry of dentures slipping during meals or conversations.
- Desire to Taste Food Again: Patients with dentures often find it difficult to taste food. A denture covers the roof of your mouth creating a barrier to the roof of the mouth, thereby reducing the ability to taste. With a Mini Implant Fixed Bridge, nothing covers the roof of the mouth allowing patients to enjoy the full flavors of food.
The Procedure
The Mini Implant Fixed Bridges procedure at Freedom Mini Dental Implants in Louisville is minimally invasive and patient-friendly. Here’s what you can expect during the process:
Exam
Dr. Ackerman will start with a comprehensive evaluation, including x-rays, to determine if mini implants suit you. This assessment ensures that the implants will integrate properly with your jawbone. Once you’re deemed a good candidate, the procedure can begin. At this point, impressions can be taken to get you started on the path to a new smile.
Procedure
During the procedure, we gently place the mini implants into your jawbone. We will complete this step with careful precision to ensure we position the implants correctly and securely.
After we place the implants, a temporary is used while your gums heal and the implants integrate with your jawbone. Once you have healed, the final custom-made bridges are secured to the implants, completing your new smile. From start to finish, after implants are placed, it takes about four- to five-weeks to have your permanent smile.
Aftercare Tips
- Maintain Oral Hygiene: Like natural teeth, mini implant bridges require regular brushing and flossing to keep them clean and plaque-free. To care for your bridges gently, ensure you use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
- Regular Dental Checkups: Schedule annual follow-up visits with your regular dentist to monitor the health of your implants and bridges. These checkups ensure everything functions correctly and address concerns early on.
- Use Within Reason: Mini Dental Implant supported Fixed Bridges are very strong, but it’s always advised to use within reason. If it’s not good for your regular teeth, then it’s not good for any type of bridge or crown. Afterall, your teeth are not bottle openers and hard candies, like Gobstoppers, are generally not good for your oral health.
