Non-Surgical Dental Implants Are Faster and Less Invasive

When some people hear the word “dentist,” their heart rate begins to spike. Even simply visiting the dentist can be scary for many patients. In one recent study, researchers estimate that approximately 50% to 80% of American adults have some level of dental anxiety, anywhere from mild to severe. That same study reveals that over 20% of anxious patients don’t see a dentist regularly, and up to 15% actively avoid seeking dental treatment. These numbers are an issue because tooth enamel is one cellular structure that doesn’t regenerate. Without proper treatment, tooth problems don’t get better, only worse. If you’ve been searching for a way to replace missing teeth but have been nervous about undergoing an invasive procedure, we have good news. Non-surgical dental implants are a more comfortable option than traditional implants, easing dental anxiety for many patients.

Non-Surgical Dental Implants Explained

Since the mid-20th century, dental implants have been an effective tool to replace missing teeth. However, the placement procedure of traditional implants involves surgical incisions, stitches, potentially a bone graft procedure, and a lengthy healing process that takes at least three months and possibly up to a year. That can be a lot to handle, especially if you’re anxious about having surgery. Luckily, a modern solution provides all the benefits of dental implants with none of the invasive requirements—non-surgical dental implants, also called mini dental implants.

Mini implants provide a fast and effective way to stabilize dentures or replace missing teeth without sacrificing any of the benefits of their larger predecessors. They can be placed in a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure, allowing Dr. Ferrari to place them much more quickly, only needing a few minutes per implant. They can be loaded with new teeth immediately, and often, the entire procedure can be completed in just one dental appointment. This is a stark contrast to traditional implants, which take longer, can require multiple follow-up visits, and aren’t ready to accept your final custom restoration for many months.

Comfort and Healing

The minimally invasive nature of mini dental implants translates into less post-procedure discomfort and a quicker recovery period. In addition, with the use of local anesthetic and Dr. Ferrari’s 30 years of experience, you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. This aspect is particularly appealing for patients with dental anxiety, as it ensures a more comfortable and convenient dental experience.

Why Replace a Tooth With Non-Surgical Dental Implants?

Replacing your missing tooth with a mini implant provides many benefits, both in your oral health and quality of life:

• Improved oral health: Missing teeth can allow bacteria to grow, leading to infection or gum disease. Your remaining teeth can also shift into those spaces, causing bite misalignment.
• Stimulated jawbone: You lose bone and tissue density when missing tooth roots aren’t filled. Implants replace your missing roots, which ensures you maintain jawbone and facial integrity.
• Enhanced aesthetics: Because implants connect the teeth directly to your jaw, you can improve the attractiveness of your smile with results that look and feel natural.
• Restored confidence: You’ll enjoy renewed confidence in speaking, eating, and smiling. Social situations will be far less stressful without worrying about missing teeth.
• Cost-effective solution: Mini implants offer significant savings over traditional options due to their shortened placement and healing timeline.

How Much Do Non-Surgical Dental Implants Cost?

Mini dental implants not only save time in the dental chair but also money. How? Because we can place them so efficiently, and the entire treatment timeline is so much faster, we can provide mini implants at a fraction of the cost of traditional implants. This affordability makes non-surgical dental implants an accessible option for a wider range of patients.
