Dental Implant Process Explained

Watch this video to learn about how the dental implant procedure is performed. Schedule a $49 consultation with Dr. Russell Ras to find out if mini dental implants are right for you?

The process depends upon what kind of implant you’re going to get. The process to deliver root form implants is different than the process to deliver mini implants. To compare the two, the process to deliver many implants is less invasive, less time consuming, less auxiliary procedures needed, less cost versus root form implants, which are more invasive. The technique is more invasive. There’s a longer healing time and typically the cost is more.

The first step would be a consultation, which would include an X-ray. The X-ray that we use is called a cone beam, a CBCT X-ray, and it’s a three dimensional image which shows us the height of the bone and shows us the width of the bone. It also shows us the thickness of the bone. That 3D cone beam X-ray is of value because when you have the thickness of the bone, that determines if you’re eligible to put an implant, and what size implants can you put in the bone.

    The Mini Dental Implant Advantage

    Half The Size

    Mini Implants are about half the size of traditional implant, and therefore don’t require as much bone. With less bone needed, costly, painful and time-consuming bone grafts are typically not required.

    Half The Cost

    In most cases, the mini dental implant procedure is less than half the cost of a traditional implant case, saving you money.

    Preserves Bone Structure

    Implants preserve your natural bone structure so you can maintain the shape of your face and avoid continued bone loss where teeth are missing.

    Immediate Results

    Because they are less invasive, and don’t require the lengthy healing time of traditional implants, they can typically be loaded with crowns, bridges and dentures immediately.

    Less Healing Time & Fewer Visits

    Because mini implants are much smaller, placing them is a less invasive procedure—requiring less healing time and discomfort, and fewer visits.

    No More Decay

    Mini implants are made out of titanium—the same type of material that is used on artificial joints, and they are not subject to decay or periodontal disease.
