Losing your natural teeth can be very traumatic and can greatly affect your self-confidence, self-esteem, nutrition, and overall quality of a life. For many, the traditional options for replacing a full set of teeth have been dentures or implants. Both options come with advantages and disadvantages, but a new technique, mini dental implants, combines the benefits of both and offers a great alternative to teeth replacement.
Mini dental implants perform the same function as conventional dental implants. However, mini dental implants have a different structure, which provides substantial benefits over conventional dental implants. For more information, visit SmileMax365.com

00:00 Oh, your smile says a lot about who you are and how you show up in the world.
00:05 Well, Dr. Espinosa from Smile Max 365 is here to tell us how dental implants can change
00:11 your life.
00:12 But before we get started with that, let's talk about Smile Max 365 and how long you
00:16 guys been around the Valley?
00:17 We've been around the Valley for over 22 years now.
00:21 It's amazing.
00:22 Yeah, that is great.
00:23 Time flies.
00:24 It does.
00:25 And what I love is that you guys are not just about the implants.
00:26 You guys are actually a dentistry that takes care of everybody's needs.
00:29 That's right, Brad.
00:31 We're full progressive.
00:33 We're full scope dentistry.
00:34 So we do everything from basic teeth cleanings and fillings to all the way to reconstructive
00:40 rehab work that puts people's mouth back on track.
00:44 I like it.
00:45 And one thing I love too is that over the weekend, people are going to be biting into
00:49 something.
00:50 They might have a little accident, chip a tooth, something like that.
00:53 And they're like, oh, I got to wait until maybe Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or even like
00:57 a month.
00:58 You guys are open seven days a week.
00:59 That's right.
01:00 Those people don't have to wait.
01:01 Yeah, so we make dentistry accessible to all people.
01:04 And when you have that toothache, you can't wait.
01:07 And so that's why we've made a commitment to the community, to all of Arizona, that
01:11 we'll be there for them when they need us the most.
01:14 I love that.
01:15 And what's also important is your smile.
01:16 And for those that might have to have an implant done, it has changed a lot, hasn't it?
01:22 Oh, it's changed tremendously.
01:24 And I'm always on the top of the leading edge science.
01:28 And we have many dental implants that are now changing people's lives with minimally
01:33 invasive, less appointments, less time, less pain, and less cost.
01:38 I love it.
01:39 Now, you have some samples here that people need to understand that there's a lot of different
01:42 ways of implants.
01:44 Because again, some people think, oh my goodness, you know what?
01:46 I broke one and I want to get an implant.
01:48 Do I get all of them done?
01:49 That's not true, is it?
01:50 No, no.
01:51 Some people just need one tooth, Brad.
01:53 In this case right here, this is a front tooth.
01:56 And we place a mini dental implant.
01:59 We numb the area.
02:01 And we do a little pinprick.
02:03 And then we put the mini dental implant in.
02:05 And then your body, we put a temporary.
02:08 You have a tooth right away the same day.
02:10 And then eight weeks later, your bone has grabbed the implant.
02:14 That's what happens.
02:15 Our bone grabs the implant.
02:17 And then we're able to put a beautiful zirconia crown that's all ceramic.
02:22 And it looks great.
02:23 Wow.
02:24 OK, let's go ahead and show people what these look like.
02:26 Because I mean, they're pretty small here.
02:27 I want to put them in my hand.
02:28 Yes.
02:29 So people can see how small these are and what goes on here.
02:32 That's right.
02:33 This large one, this two-piece one, is your classic implant.
02:38 This one here is the mini implant, the narrow diameter or small diameter implant that is
02:45 minimally invasive.
02:46 And you can see the difference in size.
02:47 It's huge.
02:48 It's a big difference.
02:49 And what we found, Brad, is that we can place many dental implants, and they're just as
02:53 durable and long-lasting as a large two-piece diameter implant.
02:57 Wow, that's amazing.
02:58 OK, so now let's talk about, of course, having, I guess, a mouth full of implants, you can
03:04 say.
03:05 It's not like we used to have it, is it?
03:07 No, it's not.
03:09 If you've lost all your teeth, we have a solution.
03:11 We have several solutions.
03:12 Not like sometimes the other guys just have one solution, but we have several.
03:16 We have mini implant denture stabilization.
03:20 This one's great.
03:22 This is upper denture.
03:23 We place four to six mini dental implants, and then we can cut the roof out of the palate
03:29 of the denture for folks because we have taste buds in our palate, and we can't taste the
03:34 food if it's covered.
03:35 And so also what this allows our patients to do is taste the cold and hot of their food
03:40 and drinks that they have every day.
03:42 Wow, that's amazing.
03:43 Yeah, really cool.
03:44 So I like to call it a topless denture.
03:46 All right, what's our next one?
03:48 The next one is a lower denture stabilization where most people here have to wear a lot
03:53 of goop, and I feel goop is poop.
03:56 No good.
03:57 All right.
03:58 OK, so we place four to six mini dental implants here, and then we place a lower denture right
04:03 on top of that, and boom, it doesn't slip.
04:06 It doesn't move.
04:07 People can laugh out loud with confidence, talk without worrying about their denture
04:11 slipping, Brad.
04:12 I like it.
04:13 It's amazing.
04:14 What about permanent dentures?
04:15 Well, some people want permanent, OK?
04:17 We call these permanent teeth.
04:19 These are, we denture teeth, Brad, but these are the next best thing to having your natural
04:23 teeth again.
04:25 These are zirconia roundhouse, and you can see there's a lot less coverage here, OK?
04:30 And we place six to eight to ten mini dental implants, and then we place a fixed bridge
04:37 right on there.
04:38 It's all zirconia, all ceramic, and then it goes, snaps on, and it doesn't get removed
04:43 at all.
04:44 It looks like that option.
04:45 Yeah, that's amazing.
04:46 Now, this option we can remove once a year.
04:48 The next option we have is the full roundhouse zirconia.
04:51 Now, that one we place many more implants, like ten, eight, twelve mini implants, OK?
04:58 And no matter how many we place, we don't charge extra.
05:00 Just want everyone to know that, OK?
05:01 And then we go ahead and glue this on permanently, and boom, it does not come out at all, Brad.
05:07 And people really like that.
05:08 This is amazing.
05:09 It's a great way to have a great smile, no matter what stage you are.
05:13 That's right.
05:14 In your, of course, your tooth missing or doing different things and stuff.
05:17 Yeah.
05:18 So I love it.
05:19 Yeah, thank you.
05:20 People love it.
