If I smile wide enough you can see that it\u2019s gone. What I am really concerned about though is that my teeth are starting to move because of the empty space. I read online about implants and cheaper mini implants. Can I get a mini implant for a molar? Esteban<\/p>\n<p>Esteban \u2013 There is significant force on molar teeth from biting and chewing. These teeth are noticeable wider, longer, and stronger than other teeth because of the daily force they are under. A mini implant is smaller and weaker than a standard implant. Using a small implant for a large tooth is not a wise move.<\/p>\n<p>You should first see an orthodontist to determine how much your teeth have shifted and what needs to be done to correct them. The sooner you seek orthodontic treatment, the shorter your treatment period will be.<\/p>\n<p>After your teeth are aligned, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/dental-implants\/\">standard implant<\/a> can be used to replace the molar. After your jawbone fuses with the implant, a dental crown will be secured to the implant. \u00a0The steps we\u2019ve described are the healthiest and safest way to protect your oral health.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/\">Lowell, MA cosmetic dentist<\/a> Dr. Michael Szarek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a top left molar that never grew in.
