We have covered, and our highly experienced dental-implants team can work with you to ensure you are suitable for and comfortable with the whole treatment.

Dental implants: what are they?

When discussing and researching tooth replacement options, you may have stumbled across dental implants, which are essentially small titanium screws that can be inserted into the jawbone where the missing teeth were. The implants can act as artificial roots for tooth replacement, whether it be a crown, dentures or bridge. These firm and sturdy screws can provide a secure post for the natural-looking tooth replacement options, ensuring that all patients feel comfortable with the appearance of their smile.

How can implants benefit you?

When looking into the advantages of dental implants, the list can feel endless! No longer will you feel the need to hide your smile away or only eat liquid foods. Whether it is a lunch outing with friends or just a chat with your neighbour, the peace of mind and physical stability you receive from dental implants can outweigh any insecurities you may have over the process.

Alongside the emotional benefits are the overall physical benefits. Whilst reviving the appearance of your smile is cosmetically appealing, it also reduces the possibilities of further tooth loss or, in time, a receding jawbone. When the site of a missing tooth is left to heal on its own without any dental checkup or intervention, the jawbone can recede over time, creating a multitude of problems including altering the overall facial definition. Therefore, even though it may feel as though tooth loss is not the worst thing that can happen, it is of utmost importance that you promptly begin working with our dentist in Central London.

Are implants for you?

It would be great to merely pick a treatment or procedure you would like to have; however, there are many aspects of the process that need to be considered, and this is no different with dental implants. Whilst a gap in your teeth may need to be addressed, the density of the jawbone plays an important part in the implantation process; therefore, a bone graft may have to be looked into before undergoing the procedure. All of this can be discussed with our dentist in Central London, so do not brush the idea aside without considering what we have to offer.
