When David came in to see me he had just been laid
off from work, and the prospect of going on interviews with two missing teeth
was overwhelming. When he asked about mini-implants he was shocked to learn
they cost 50% less than regular implants and wanted to know why.
Approximately 50,000,000 people in the U.S. are
"edentulous" (lacking teeth) and struggle daily with embarrassment
due to missing teeth and discomfort due to loose or ill-fitting dentures,
disagreeable breath, and the inability to enjoy the foods they love.
While dental
implants come in a variety of brands and sizes, mini dental implants (MDIs)
have becoming increasingly popular due to improved technology and lower cost.
An MDI is a miniature
titanium screw that acts like the root of your tooth, is very thin and small in diameter, and easy to implant even in thin
bone. MDIs can also be used
to connect or cement to a crown or bridge, so they are fixed in place instead
of having to be removed like a denture. Sometimes they are used to
replace one or more teeth, or an entire arch of teeth.
Today
MDIs are FDA approved, and able to function as long-term supporting structures,
rather than short-term or medium term devices. In fact, some
have been successfully functioning in patients' jaws for several decades. But
it is important to understand that all implant systems, as well as natural
teeth, are subject to potential
failure due to natural causes, including osteoporosis, poor oral hygiene, wear
and tear, poor health, stressful biting habits, and lack of follow-up dental
care. MDI implants, like regular dental implants, do not carry any actual
or implied guarantee as to longevity. However, the loss of a mini dental
implant is a far less critical event to a patient since it may be
replaced at relatively minimal cost compared to conventional implants, and with
minimal associated bone or gum deterioration.
Mini
dental implants are surprisingly affordable, are usually available at a fraction
of the cost of traditional implants, and have been changing the lives of
patients all over the world. Meanwhile, Dave couldn’t be happier. He says,
“Mini dental implants are really affordable, and cost me a fraction of what I
would have paid for traditional implants. It was painless and I’m really
happy!”

This is so good. A lot of people are seeking advance medical care but only few can afford the expensive procedures. It's pleasing to know that this service is offered at a very reasonable price. dental implants center Long Island, NY
ReplyDeleteIt is very good news. I recently lost a major tooth that had been damaged when a resident failed to change the braces properly at UB Dental School many years ago. It had been bonded several times, and I spent $1300 for a root-canal job just two years ago. The roots of my teeth, I am told, are very, very long. The dentist doing the root canal work, a Korean woman in Arizona, said, "Oh, my God, you make we work so hard. We don't even have the stems long enough for this." But she did it. She stopped practicing as she has cancer now, as I phoned back what to do when the tooth broke up and virtually disappeared! The one next to it was doing some of the work for my bite, but I neglected to get to the situation soon enough, and that recently fell out also! So I have been looking for some solution that I won't have to sell my house for or incur ten-year payments on. This sounds very promising.
ReplyDeleteDental work is just as much important "medical" work on our bodies as anything else we have done. Yet we have such poor or non-existent insurances for it, and it's so terribly expensive in the USA. People go to Canada and to Mexico to try to afford dentistry. When will this country wake up to take care of its citizens?
By and large, scaled down dental inserts are utilized as a stabilization strategy for a more level denture. Over 50,000,000 individuals needing teeth in the U.s. alone, and huge numbers of them experience continuous torment and inconvenience as a consequence of detached fitting dentures. With the support of scaled down dental inserts, the solidness of the denture and consequently the trust of the wearer could be essentially progressed.
