According to the Institute of Oral Health, roughly 96% of adults know that oral health plays a key role in their overall health. Despite this, nearly 43% reported that cost could prevent them from seeking dental care in the future. It can feel like a real balancing act trying to prioritize oral health while managing other expenses. The cost of treatments like dental implants can make this even more overwhelming. However, advancements in dental technology have made more affordable and efficient options a reality. Mini dental implants, for example, are a reliable and budget-friendly alternative to conventional implants that offer many additional benefits. This innovation has made high-quality tooth replacement more accessible—giving patients a simpler and more cost-effective way to improve their oral health.
At the Aesthetic Associates Centre, you don’t have to choose between your wallet and your confidence—mini implants offer a solution that benefits both!
Oral Health, Overall Well-Being, and Your Wallet
We know that oral health is important. But how often do we consider its connection to the rest of our body? Your mouth is more than just a part of your smile—it’s the gateway to vital systems like digestion and respiration. If you overlook your oral health, harmful bacteria can accumulate, leading to more than just dental problems. These bacteria can enter the bloodstream and contribute to issues like heart disease. In fact, studies have found oral bacteria in the plaque of heart disease patients, highlighting a possible link between gum disease and cardiovascular problems. If oral diseases ultimately create systemic issues, more costly treatments are needed to restore your health.
When periodontal disease inflames the gums, inflammation can spread throughout the body. Research links this to a higher risk of serious conditions, including diabetes and respiratory diseases. The connection between oral and overall health works both ways: poor oral health can worsen these conditions, while maintaining good oral care can help reduce the risk of developing or aggravating them. In other words, taking care of your mouth benefits your entire body, and managing chronic conditions can also help protect your oral health.
Plus, better dental and general health can prevent the need for expensive treatments down the road, keeping more money in your wallet where it belongs.
Dental Implants: The Best Solution for a Natural, Healthy Smile
Dental implants are an incredible option for anyone looking for a cost-effective, long-term method for replacing missing teeth. Dr. Shatkin securely anchors these artificial roots into the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. What makes dental implants truly remarkable is that they don’t just enhance the appearance of your smile—they drastically restore your oral function and support long-term dental health.
Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants feel and work just like natural teeth. They provide the support and stimulation your jawbone needs to stay strong and healthy. This stimulation helps prevent bone loss, which is key to maintaining the natural shape of your face over time.
As you navigate your implant options, it is important to note that mini implants offer some notable advantages.
Cost and Comfort: The Advantages of Choosing Mini Dental Implants
Traditional dental implants involve several steps. First, a titanium post is placed in the jawbone. The bone must then fuse with the implant, and only then can the final tooth be attached. This process can take many months and requires multiple visits.
Dr. Shatkin has perfected a more efficient approach with mini dental implants. He places these smaller, one-piece implants in a minimally invasive procedure. To secure them in the bone, Dr. Shatkin makes a very small opening through the gums, reducing bleeding and discomfort. As a result, both the procedure and recovery are quicker.
This streamlined method not only makes the process more comfortable but also more affordable. In fact, mini dental implants can cost half as much as traditional implants! With fewer appointments, reduced surgical complexity, and less material involved, we can restore your smile at a significantly lower cost, all while saving time and minimizing discomfort.
In addition, our on-site Shatkin F.I.R.S.T.® laboratory allows us to create custom prosthetics much faster. By producing everything in-house, you save time and avoid the long waits common with external labs, all while receiving top-quality results.
