Do I have enough jawbone to have dental implants?

Successful dental implants in Harley Street are reliant on having enough bone to support them. If you don’t have enough bone, it is now possible for the bone to be rebuilt. If you don’t have enough gum, that can now be added back too.

The old adage ‘what you don’t use, you lose’ applies to your jawbone too. The bone stays thick and tall when your teeth are there stimulating your jawbone every day. If you lose some of your teeth your jawbone will shrink from disuse. This can even happen when you are only missing one tooth! If you lose one tooth, the bone in the area of that tooth shrinks, while the other areas stay intact.

Dental Implants in Harley StreetHow can dental implants help?

Dental implants in Harley Street are designed to preserve your jawbone and prevent the natural shrinkage that will eventually occur with bone loss. A bridge or removable partial denture does not preserve or maintain your bone like dental implants at Harley Street Dental Clinic do.

What is the best thing to do?

Ideally it is best to prevent losing bone in the first place. If you can’t help losing a tooth, it is Ideal to replace it with an implant on the same day (known as an immediate dental implant), or within the first six months after losing it. This will drastically lower the cost of your dental implants in Harley Street. Besides the fact that you will save you money, it will also save you substantial time and greatly reduce the chance for complications which can and do occur if spaces are left unfilled.
