Big Or Small, We’ve Got Dental Implants For You

June 16, 2017

If we could bring someone from 100 years ago to today, they would be amazed at the ways technology has changed the world.

They would be stunned by the cars we drive, by our smartphones, and maybe even by our restorative dentistry.

When you think about it, it’s amazing how much dental implants have improved teeth replacement compared to traditional dentures. More importantly to us, it’s amazing how much implants have changed the lives of patients at our dentist office in New Albany, IN.

Seeing them smile or hearing about how implants have allowed them to eat the foods they love again makes our day.

This also is why we are happy that we can offer mini implants as well. Mini implants give us the opportunity to give more patients a better quality of life.

If you’ve been told you can’t get implants, please call New Albany Implants at 888-469-3982 or contact us online. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Ron Receveur to find out if mini implants are right for you.

Mini Implants Are Real Dental Implants

If you need a dental crown, you can support it with a mini implant.

If you need a dental bridge to replace a few teeth, you can support it with a couple mini implants.

If you need a set of dentures to replace an entire row of teeth, a series of mini implants can do that, too.

Mini implants can do all the things that “full size” dental implants can. The question is: which kind of implants are right for you?

Implants And Your Jaw

The clearest benefit of getting implant-supported teeth replacements is the stability and security they provide. For example, you don’t have to worry about your dentures coming loose while you are eating when they are attached to dental implants.

Those benefits come from the fact that implants are placed directly in your jawbone. Your jaw bonds to these titanium implants almost as if they too were bone. This helps to keep them secure.

But the biggest benefit of dental implants may be something you can’t see.

When you had all your natural teeth, the roots of those teeth were anchored in your jaw. This was a two-way relationship. Your jaw keeps your teeth in place. At the same time, your teeth stimulated your jaw to encourage new bone tissue to grow.

Biting and chewing caused your roots to push into your jaw, which is what spurred the bone growth. This new tissue is needed to maintain your jaw’s size and shape as old tissue was reabsorbed.

Without roots, there is no stimulation. Therefore, no new bone tissue grows, and your jaw can begin to shrink.

By getting dental implants, you have another way to create the pressure that causes your jaw to keep making new tissue.

When Mini Implants Are A Better Option

We wish everyone could or would replace their missing teeth as soon as they are lost. We also know that’s not always an option for a variety of reasons.

The longer you go without replacing your teeth — your whole teeth, crowns and roots — the more bone tissue you will lose. If you lose too much, then you won’t have enough to support standard dental implants.

This also is when mini implants can be a smile-saver.

Standard implants have a diameter between 3.5 and 6 millimeters. Mini implants come in diameters of 1.8, 2.5, and 3 millimeters. This means they can fit where standard implants won’t.

Before mini implants, the only options were to live with traditional dentures and an ever-shrinking jaw or to get a bone graft procedure to rebuild your jaw. After months of recovery, you might then be able to support standard implants.

Mini implants allow you to get implants sooner, which means you can enjoy the benefits of having your new teeth and smile.

Find Out If Mini Implants Are Right For You

You are the final decision maker when it comes to your oral health. If you are missing teeth or you’ve been without natural teeth for a few years, you owe it to yourself to find out if dental implants are right for your needs.

Dental implants — including the mini implants at our New Albany, IN, dentist office — can give do more than restore your smile. They can restore your ability to eat the foods that you like and to eat without pain.

Talk to Dr. Receveur to find out if mini implants are for you. Call 888-469-3982 or contact us online to make an appointment.

I’m the type of person that is scared of the dentist have been my whole life. I scheduled consultation with Dr Ron and he answered all my questions and more. He and his staff are great they made me feel comfortable the whole time. They used sedation for my implant procedure and it was the best decision I have ever made!! I had zero pain whatsoever. The best thing is that they have gave me the ability to smile again and to be happy. Thank you to everyone at New Albany Implants. I recommend them to anyone needing dental implants.

Amazing experience. If anyone is anxious about seeing a dentist I can assure you don’t have to be with Dr. Receveur. My only regret is not having it done sooner. His staff is pretty awesome too.

I recently had implants put in by Dr. Receveur. I was scheduled to have sedation that morning, but wasn't able to due to my sugar issues from diabetes. He assured me he would keep me comfortable so I agreed to go ahead with the procedure. He did just that, he kept me comfortable as promised and I didn't feel a thing. During the procedure he also talked to me the whole time explaining what he was doing, which also helped ease my anxiety. The entire staff there are so nice and informative, they can answer any questions you may have. All I can say is to anyone that is hesitant to have this procedure done, I honestly wish I would have had this done a long time ago! Dr. Receveur and his staff are AMAZING, and I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!
