Restorations for missing teeth

Losing your teeth changes your appearance, the gaps in your smile can even lead to a drooping face because there are no teeth to provide support for your lips and cheeks. This can affect your confidence and make interacting with others difficult. You may also find that you are restricted to a soft food diet. Not only do you miss out on your favourite foods, but having a limited diet also affects your nutrition, gradually undermining your health over the years. You may have considered dentures or bridges but worried that they would be uncomfortable or inconvenient, but there is an effective alternative. At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we are proud of our experience in fitting dental implants in Harley Street. Implants have helped many of our patients enhance their smile and quality of life.

Dental Implants in Harley StreetHow do dental implants work?

Dental implants are small metal screws that are set into the jaw during a minor operation. As the bones and soft tissues of the jaw heal, they mesh around the implants, stabilising them into position. Dentures, crowns or replacement teeth are fixed to the implants and become a secure, permanent solution to missing teeth. You will need to look after your implants in the same way as natural teeth but, with the proper care, patients with dental implants in Harley Street have enjoyed their benefits for several decades.

What are the advantages?

The most immediately obvious effect is an improved appearance as you can smile with a full set of teeth and avoid the sagging caused by gaps. The implants are carefully made to match the tone and shape of any existing teeth so your new look will be very natural. Importantly, dental implants stimulate the jaw when you eat. This is a function performed by teeth roots and keeps the bones and blood vessels healthy, ensuring long-term strength. Our patients tell us that one of the most enjoyable aspects of dental implants in Harley Street is that they can eat their favourite food again and get on with life as normal without having to worry about their teeth.
