People lose their teeth for all sorts of reasons including injury, illness and ageing. Having missing teeth can knock your confidence and make everyday activities such as eating and speaking difficult. They can also destabilise other teeth as they can drift into the gaps. If you are tired of worrying about how you look and having to think about what food you can eat, then you may like to consider dental implants. Harley Street is home to the Harley Street Dental Clinic, where we provide a range of options from single tooth to full mouth restorations. Our established team has fitted hundreds of dental implants in Harley Street and we can help, even in complex cases.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots in the form of small metal screws, which are placed into the jaw during a minor operation. As the blood vessels and tissues in your jaw mesh around them, they become stable and provide a secure base for replacement teeth, bridges or dentures. When we fit dental implants in Harley Street, we use a local anaesthetic, so the process is comfortable. We pride ourselves on supporting nervous patients and can offer sedation if required.
Have you been refused treatment elsewhere?
You may have been told that your existing bone is not deep or strong enough to support the implants, but we are experienced in fitting dental implants in Harley Street and can offer techniques such as bone grafts and sinus lifts. These increase the strength and volume of bone in your jaw to enable the dental implants to be fitted securely. If you think you may need these procedures, we can discuss it with you during your consultation. It is also necessary to have healthy gums to ensure that there is no risk of infection or gum disease. We can offer treatment from a hygienist to clear up existing problems before you have your implants.
We want dental implants to be available to everyone, even if you have had difficult experiences with dentists before or have been told that you cannot have treatment. Contact us and find out how having dental implants in Harley Street could give you a new start.
