At the Mini Dental Implant Center of America in Springfield, MO, we understand that our patients are busy. Between work, house chores, and family obligations, it can be difficult to find any time for yourself. When you do find time, the dentist is likely the last place you want to spend it. For patients with missing teeth, time constraints are one of the leading reasons for delaying dental implant treatment. With the risk of complex healing and months of waiting between appointments, many patients find dental implant treatment to be outside of their current lifestyle. But with mini dental implants, you may not have to wait as long! These small titanium posts secure in your jawbone without hassle, instantly starting to secure in your smile. But how fast do mini implants really heal?

Understanding Mini Dental Implants
Dental implants are metal screws made of titanium that we secure in your jaw to replace missing tooth roots.
These tooth roots, or the bottom portion of your natural teeth, are essential for both keeping your smile secure and your jaw healthy. Every time you bite or chew, tooth roots press down into your bone to stimulate it, helping to maintain its health. But after losing teeth, you lose stimulation, causing your jawbone to shrink over time.
Fortunately, dental implants replace missing tooth roots, both securing your smile and stimulating your jaw.
At the Mini Dental Implant Center of America in Springfield, MO, we use mini dental implants. These smaller titanium posts have a simpler placement process and a simpler design, too. Rather than placing separate components at separate appointments, we place mini implants in just one appointment!
How Fast Do Mini Implants Heal?
Traditionally, dental implants need time to recover before we put any pressure on them.
After being inserted in your jawbone, implants need to integrate with your bone to stay secure. This process takes time, especially after an invasive surgery that disrupts a lot of your bone tissue.
But mini dental implants use a minimally invasive procedure that preserves your bone structure. In combination with their sleek design, a gentle procedure allows these implants to heal much faster!
Immediately after placing your one-piece implant, it will begin bonding with your bone. Then, in most cases, these implants are secure enough to support a temporary restoration right after placement! Additionally, depending on the quality of your jawbone, we may even be able to secure a final crown, bridge, or denture that very same day to instantly restore your smile.
However, your eligibility for same-day implants depends on your specific case. If it’s possible, you can enjoy a functional smile after just one appointment.
