It’s strange how the things we need most often feel the hardest to begin. We hesitate, talk ourselves out of it, and wait for the “right” time, as if it will ever come. Choosing to take care of ourselves is rarely simple. Just when we’re ready to move forward, another question stops us: How much will this cost me? That question has a way of pulling us back, even if only for a moment. For many people beginning the journey to tooth replacement, this feeling is all too familiar: the desire for something better or the comfort of feeling whole again. Mini dental implants offer that promise, but the question of cost can still feel like an obstacle.
At Mint Mini Dental Implants, we take the time to walk you through the cost of your treatment options, helping you understand what goes into your care and ensuring that nothing stands in the way of the care you deserve.
The Advantages of Choosing Mini Dental Implants
A mini dental implant is a small titanium post that Dr. Coolican carefully places into your jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture. Once the implant is in position, the surrounding bone begins to grow around it through a natural process called osseointegration. This is the key difference that makes mini dental implants a more advanced solution than other options.
Traditional dentures rest on the gums, and bridges rely on nearby teeth for stability. Mini dental implants bond with the jawbone, providing a stronger and more natural-feeling solution. During osseointegration, the bone fuses to the surface of the implant, creating a stable and long-lasting foundation. This stability allows the implant to mimic the role of a natural tooth root, transmitting the pressure of chewing directly into the bone.
This direct stimulation helps prevent the jawbone from shrinking, a common consequence of tooth loss. Without that stimulation, the bone in the area begins to deteriorate, which can change the shape of your face and weaken your overall oral health. Because an osseointegrated implant encourages ongoing bone metabolism and healthy remodeling, it helps maintain both your facial structure and the strength of your jaw.
Factors That Affect the Cost of Mini Dental Implants
When it comes to the cost of mini dental implants, there isn’t a single answer for everyone, and that’s actually a good thing. During your free consultation, we’ll sit down with you, discuss your concerns, and take a thorough look at your oral health. This first step is important because it allows us to create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs.
During your consultation, we’ll determine exactly what your smile requires to succeed. For some patients, bone grafting is recommended before implants can be placed. This is because dental implants require a healthy, dense jawbone to remain secure and function properly. If the bone in the area has weakened, we may need to rebuild it first. We’ll also consider the location of your missing teeth and determine how many implants you’ll need to fully restore your smile. Each of these factors contributes to the overall cost of treatment.
Mini dental implants differ from conventional implants in several ways that benefit both your experience and your budget. A traditional dental implant is about five millimeters wide, while a mini dental implant is less than three millimeters, almost half the size. That smaller size makes a big difference.
Because mini implants are smaller, they are minimally invasive to place. This means less time in the chair, less need for additional procedures like bone grafting, and a quicker recovery. Mini implants also simplify treatment by reducing steps, lowering surgical complexity, avoiding extra procedures, and making follow-up care easier. All of these advantages make mini implants a more efficient and cost-effective option.
Financing Options To Manage the Cost of Mini Dental Implants
At our office, we offer multiple flexible financing options to fit just about any budget. With these solutions, you can receive the care you need now and pay over time in a manner that suits you.
We partner with trusted companies like CareCredit, Proceed, and Lending Club to make dental implants and other treatments more accessible. Dental financing allows you to spread the cost of your care into manageable monthly payments, rather than paying the full amount upfront. This is especially helpful for treatments that insurance may not fully cover.
Applying is simple and convenient. You can apply right here in our office or online at your own pace. During the application process, you’ll provide some basic personal and financial information. Most plans include a credit check, but some, like Proceed, even offer a pre-qualification option that won’t affect your credit score.
Best of all, you don’t have to wait. Most patients get an approval decision within minutes, and the financing company pays our office directly. That means you can move forward with your treatment right away without putting off the care your smile deserves.
