Patients choosing to have dental implants in Harley Street often want a tooth replacement procedure that feels more natural and boosts oral health more than traditional removable dentures. Implant dentistry can give people more confidence in biting and chewing their favourite foods, as well as looking more natural and being easier to clean.
As dental implant treatment at Harley Street Dental Clinic leaves no gaps in the mouth, there are fewer places for harmful bacteria and food debris to hide in. Also, the remaining teeth either side of the missing ones will not have a chance to tilt into the space, which means the risk of misalignment is greatly reduced.
Feels good, looks smart
While they help with dental cleanliness and overall oral health in Harley Street, dental implants can also reduce the chances of jawbone deterioration and help to maintain the firmness of the face’s underlying structure. The ‘sunken’ look that can often develop in the faces of long-term denture-wearers is avoided because the implants develop a strong and secure connection with the jawbone.
Gradual steps to lifetime improvement
The first stage in treatment is a detailed consultation with one of our experienced dentists. Once a detailed treatment plan is produced, the dentist will insert short titanium posts, similar to small screws, into the gaps in your gums where the missing teeth used to be. After a short period of healing, you will return to the dentist to have the replacement teeth securely attached to the tips of these posts.
As you eat or speak, tiny vibrations occur inside the mouth. The small titanium posts transmit these vibrations directly into the jawbone, stimulating it to maintain its density. The replacement teeth can then rely on a stable structure.
Varied applications
There are many kinds of tooth loss that can benefit from dental implants. In Harley Street, tooth decay can happen gradually over the years, leading to the loss or removal of several teeth. Or you may have lost one of your front teeth suddenly by accident. Whatever the reason, implant dentistry will enhance your dental health while making eating more enjoyable.
