From All on X to Mini Dental Implants: The Evolution of Tooth Replacement

Technological advancements sometimes offer upgrades that are too beneficial to ignore, even if previous solutions worked well. For instance, I was fond of my old, nearly indestructible Nokia cell phone from 2004, which was limited to making calls and playing Snake. However, that doesn’t mean I’d pass up the opportunity to upgrade to the latest iPhone! A similar leap in technology has occurred in the world of dental implants. All on X dental implants were once considered the most secure way to replace an entire arch of top or bottom teeth. However, mini dental implants are a more versatile, comfortable, and affordable implant option while offering ventajas adicionales. That’s why the Centre for Smile Designs is proud to offer these innovative, modern implants.

Understanding All on X Dental Implants

All on X describes an prótesis sobre implantes system designed to replace your teeth with lasting stability, a feature that traditional dentures can’t provide. The X signifies the number of conventional dental implants used for support, which can range from 4 to 6 to 8.

We place these implants directly into the jawbone to secure your prosthetic. Connecting the denture to your jaw provides significantly greater stability and functionality than traditional dentures, eliminating the frustrations of loose or floating dentures.

While All on X dental implants provide great stability, the process is less than ideal for many patients like you. Their process is invasive, has a lengthy healing time, and often includes additional surgical procedures like bone grafting. Fortunately, we offer mini dental implants as a more streamlined alternative!

Ventajas de los miniimplantes dentales

Miniimplantes dentales are a smaller, sleeker upgrade to conventional implants. They measure less than 3 mm in diameter compared to the diameter of conventional implants, which are around 5 mm. While this size difference may not seem particularly impressive, think of it like comparing the thickness of a toothpick to that of a pencil eraser. Which one would you rather place in your jawbone?

The small size of mini implants provides several advantages over larger implants.

• Mínimamente invasivo: Conventional implants require incisions and stitches as part of their placement procedure. Mini implants require only a tiny pilot hole, which we create quickly and painlessly using a local anesthetic.
• No bone graft: Due to their size, larger implants require a substantial amount of bone structure, which many patients lack. Often, a bone grafting procedure is necessary before we can place them, which adds time and money to the implant process.
• Faster healing: Conventional implants take 3 to 4 months to fully fuse with your jawbone, and they can’t support your final restoration until that process is complete. Meanwhile, mini implants complete this process in just a few weeks, allowing you to enjoy your new teeth much sooner!
• Menos caro: Mini implants cost less than conventional implants due to factors such as lower manufacturing costs and fewer follow-up appointments. Additionally, mini implants often don’t require a bone graft, saving you time and money. In many cases, they may be half as expensive!
