Jan 07, 2015 /prREACH/ -- Dr. Gregory Sawyer, cosmetic dentist in Los Gatos, CA is helping more adult patients get the permanent, natural-looking smiles they’ve always wanted even after major tooth loss with mini dental implants. Using this latest technology, Dr. Sawyer is providing new smiles with less invasive procedures, less recovery time, and more affordable pricing than with traditional implants.
True to their name, mini dental implants are a much smaller version of traditional dental implants, which means they require much less surgical work to insert and also don’t require as much time to heal. Additionally, mini dental implants don’t require as much supportive bone density as do traditional implants, which means that more mature adults are candidates for this procedure even if they have been missing a large number of teeth for an extended amount of time.
“Mini dental implants have really opened up a whole new world of possibilities for patients who are tired of relying on dentures, but may not be candidates for traditional implants,” said Dr. Gregory Sawyer, dental implants dentist in Los Gatos, CA. “With mini implants, they can still get a complete, new smile that offers all of the functionality of traditional implants, but can do so more affordably, and with much less recovery time.”
Mini dental implants are most commonly used to support permanent dentures, giving patients a better and more permanent option to restore function and aesthetics to their smile. With permanent denture placement, typically a series of 4-6 mini dental placements are inserted along the jaw bone of the upper and lower arches of the mouth. Once these implants have healed, the dentures can be permanently attached, which eliminates the need for patients to worry about denture pastes and bonding, or even ill-fitting or loose dentures. With mini dental implants, they can enjoy all of the benefits of natural teeth and feel confident with their smile.
The process of placing mini dental implants is often completed within just 45 minutes and only requires the use of local anesthetic. Because the mini dental implants do not penetrate into the jawbone as deep as traditional implants, patients have very little post-operative pain or discomfort.
Dr. Sawyer has been practicing dentistry for more than four decades and continues to provide his patients with the leading edge of technology and care at his practice. Dr. Sawyer completed his dental education at the University of Southern California dental school and has remained heavily involved in continuing education. He is a leading expert in the industry on dental implants, and often travels across the globe to teach other dental professionals how to properly complete the procedure.
