Choosing the right dental implant often raises many questions: Where can you find the highest quality care? Which procedures are the least invasive? Most commonly, people ask: How much do dental implants cost? At San Francisco East Bay Mini Dental Implants, Dr. Magno’s goal is to make dental implant treatment affordable, as she believes patients on a budget deserve to transform their smiles, too. Fortunately, she offers mini implants, which are almost half the cost of conventional implants. This reliable tooth replacement method is the ideal solution for many patients like you!
Mini Implants vs. Conventional Implants
Dental Implants are titanium posts that we place into your jaw to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. The two most common kinds of dental implants are conventional dental implants and mini dental implants.
Conventional Implants
These titanium screws are about 5 millimeters in diameter. To place conventional implants, Dr. Magno will first make an incision into the gums to reveal your jawbone structure. Then, she’ll use a series of increasingly large drills to create a hole big enough to accommodate the implant. This conventional process is invasive and requires about 3 to 6 months of healing before the implants are stable enough to support your final restoration.
Conventional implants feature a two-piece design, with a titanium screw and an abutment that secures the restoration in place. Dr. Magno places these implants at separate appointments between healing periods, which extends the process and increases costs. While conventional implants are reliable, they involve significant time and inconvenience.
Mini Implants
In contrast, mini dental implants are titanium posts with a one-piece design that is less than 3 millimeters in width. Due to their slim structure, they require much less bone than a conventional implant. This makes mini implants an excellent choice for those with low bone density, offering a more accessible solution for tooth replacement.
Placing mini implants also involves a minimally invasive procedure. In fact, Dr. Magno doesn’t even need to use incisions! With just a small pilot hole in the gums, she secures the implant in your jawbone. Once the implant is in place, Dr. Magno will place a temporary restoration the same day.
Additionally, mini dental implants heal much faster than conventional implants, allowing you to enjoy your new smile sooner!
Why Do Mini Dental Implants Cost Less?
Mini dental implants are the preferred implant option for many people, but how do they compare to conventional implants in price? Due to their multi-piece design and complex surgical placement, conventional implants are usually quite expensive. You must pay for each component of the implant and the restoration, as well as every necessary appointment!
To combat the high cost of traditional dental implants, Dr. Magno offers mini implants. These small titanium posts provide various cost-effective advantages, such as:
Fewer components: With only one piece to pay for, mini implants have a much lower price tag than their conventional counterparts.- Fewer appointments: Due to this one-piece design, Dr. Magno places mini implants in just one appointment, resulting in lower costs.
- Fewer additional procedures: Conventional implants often require additional procedures, like a bone graft, for patients with less jaw structure to be eligible. Because mini implants require less bone, they usually don’t need additional procedures, saving you time and money.
