Mini Dental Implants Baytown

Smaller Implants, Same Great Results

Dental implants provide a solid, stable, and sound foundation for porcelain crowns as well as full and partial dentures and bridges. Standard dental implants offered at Aesthetic Family Dentistry are a good option for most patients with missing teeth, but for others, they may not be recommended due to a lack of healthy bone or an inability to tolerate the surgery required to place them. For these patients, mini dental implants in Baytown may be the best option.

After a tooth has been lost, the jawbone that used to surround it naturally starts to shrink and change shape. This is because the body senses that there is no tooth to support in the area, so it begins reabsorbing the nutrients from the bone and sending them to other places in the body. As a result, the bone can become too thin or brittle to safely support regular implants.

Also, many patients with persistent gum disease or other overall health problems (such as diabetes or heart disease) can pose a high risk for complications during normal implant placement. Thankfully, mini implants can successfully work around all of these obstacles.
