Solutions for Multiple Missing Teeth

In this video, Dr. Aaron Bratton discusses how mini implants can be used to replace multiple missing teeth, even in different areas of the mouth, with a personalized treatment plan. Schedule a consultation at Atkins Dental Clinic today to find out if mini implants are the right solution for restoring your smile.

If you are missing multiple teeth, mini implants can still be an effective solution. If the missing teeth are in different areas of the mouth, each can be treated individually. If multiple teeth are missing within the same quadrant, we place enough mini implants to restore them, provided there is sufficient bone.

Before any treatment begins, we evaluate your X-rays to determine if mini implants are a viable option. If the case is uncertain, I send the X-rays to my laboratory for review. While I oversee the treatment plan, the lab technicians design and build the restorations, ensuring they meet the highest standards. Their expertise helps confirm whether the procedure is feasible, providing an added level of precision and confidence in the final outcome.

Invisalign Treatment: Is It Right for You?

Invisalign treatment is often framed as something entirely different from braces, when in reality, the goal remains the same. Both approaches guide teeth into healthier, more balanced positions over time. The difference lies less in what the treatment accomplishes and more in how it fits into everyday life. Invisalign treatment builds on the same orthodontic principles, but it changes [...]

Are Mini Implants Cheaper Than Regular Implants? [A Video Guide]

As many people navigate tooth replacement options, they often face a surprising yet important question: “Are mini dental implants cheaper than regular implants?” In many cases, yes. Their slimmer structure frequently simplifies parts of the procedure, which can influence the overall cost. Picture the difference between a full-size umbrella and a compact one you can fold into a bag. [...]

What Are Mini Dental Implants? A Quick Overview

You may already know the basic idea behind a dental implant: a durable post that takes the place of a missing root and supports a new tooth. That’s the classic model, and it works well. Mini dental implants use the same principle, but their slimmer, one-piece titanium design offers possibilities the traditional model can’t always provide. The smaller size [...]

What the Best Gum Disease Treatment Looks Like Today

Gum disease is one of the most common oral health conditions, and it often develops gradually, often going unnoticed until symptoms become more difficult to ignore. Factors like genetics and overall health can raise your risk, but everyday habits have the greatest influence. When plaque lingers along the gumline, inflammation takes hold, and over time, it can progress into [...]

Why More Adults Are Choosing Braces Alternatives

Once upon a time, every phone had a home. You’d pace as far as the cord allowed, twisting it between your fingers while you talked. If you wanted comfort, you brought the conversation to the couch, dragging the phone, the cord, and maybe a stool along for the ride. It worked. The voices came through clear, the connections held [...]

How a Sinus Lift Helps Support Dental Implants

Before a builder pours concrete or a gardener plants a seed, the ground must be studied. Its composition, its strength, and its readiness to hold what’s to come all determine the outcome. A solid foundation, whether made of earth or intention, gives support to things that last. The same idea applies in dentistry. Before placing an implant, we make [...]

What Is a One-Piece Dental Implant? [A Video Guide]

Before the Band-Aid, caring for a cut required patience and parts: gauze, tape, scissors, and a steady hand. It worked, but it wasn’t simple. Then someone realized that the pieces didn’t have to stay separate. That small act of joining what already existed created something entirely new, a solution so practical it became second nature. So, what is a [...]

A Closer Look at the Smile Makeover Process

When we hear the word “makeover,” our minds often go straight to a movie montage. There’s upbeat music, a confident strut out of the dressing room, maybe a pair of sunglasses being tossed on for effect. Or we picture a home renovation show, where the walls are knocked down and the camera pans across a space that feels brighter, [...]
