Are missing teeth causing you problems?

Many people associate losing their teeth with ageing, but illness or injury can also result in missing teeth. Gaps are unsightly but can also lead to problems with eating and speaking normally. If you have to restrict yourself to soft foods then you will also be limiting the nutrients you obtain from your diet. This will have a detrimental effect on your overall health. If you would like to improve your health and have a beautiful smile again then you might like to consider dental implants in Harley Street. At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we pride ourselves on being able to fit implants even when people have been refused treatment elsewhere.

Dental Implants in Harley StreetWhat is the process for having dental implants?

It is important that we assess the state of your existing teeth and gums so that we can decide on the best course of treatment. Your mouth and jaw need to be healthy so, if necessary, preparatory work is carried out and then the implants are fitted during a minor operation. This involves placing a small metal screw into the jaw under local anaesthetic. The bone and blood vessels mesh around the metal, holding it securely in place. Your dental implants can then be used as a stable base for fixed dentures, crowns or bridges. For our patients in Harley Street, dental implants have enabled them to enjoy their favourite foods again and given them a smile to be proud of.

Can I have dental implants in Harley Street?

You may have been told that the bone in your jaw is not strong enough to support implants. The most usual reason for this is that you have been wearing dentures or coping with missing teeth for some time, and, with no tooth roots to stimulate the bone cells to renew themselves, the tissues will have started to shrink back. We are delighted to offer bone grafts and sinus lifts to ensure adequate bone density. Fear of dental procedures is another barrier for some people, which we can solve with the use of sedation to make sure that the work is as comfortable as possible.

We are proud to be able to say that having dental implants in Harley Street really is an option available to everyone.
