Teeth are delicate, and whilst we do what we can to take care of them, sometimes unforeseen circumstances or general old age and tooth decay can result in them falling out. Having a toothless smile can make you feel and look older than you really are and damage your confidence too. Having your teeth knocked out in an accident can be devastating and leave you feeling like there is nothing you can do to replace them, but at Harley Street Dental Clinic we have a solution.
Getting dental implants in Harley Street is simple, and if you feel that it is something that you could benefit from, it is a good idea to make a consultation appointment with one of our professionals to see how we can help you. We have a range of treatments available that can fully restore your entire smile. Your dental practitioner will be able to answer any questions that you may have at your consultation appointment and explain the treatment to you in detail.
Replacing a whole set of teeth is more than possible
If you need to replace an entire mouthful of teeth or you want to upgrade from your removable dentures this is more than possible. You will not necessarily need one tooth implant per missing tooth, as it is now possible to support a whole mouthful of teeth using only four titanium screws that have been placed into your jawbone. However individual circumstances can vary and you may need up to twelve screws to support your new teeth.
Having dental implants in Harley Street will provide you with an even set of natural looking teeth that feel and act just as your original ones did. You will be able to smile and pose for photographs with confidence and chew on either side of your mouth, whilst enjoying whatever type of food you please. You will not need to worry about your false teeth coming loose or not being able to enjoy sticky foods such as toffee.
Your new teeth can last more than a decade
If you take care of your new teeth after having dental implants in Harley Street they could last longer than a decade, and in some cases they can last up to twenty years. Your dental practitioner will be able to advise you on how to clean your artificial teeth correctly and recommend products and brushes for you to use. It is important that you keep your teeth clean to avoid a build-up of plaque, as this can lead to things such as gingivitis and gum disease. This can result in you doing additional damage to your gum tissue and jawbone, which can affect the stability of your tooth implants.
With regular cleaning and mouthwash your artificial teeth should stay in good condition, but it is also important to visit your dental practitioner for regular check-ups. This will enable them to check on the overall condition of your mouth and inform you of any underlying problems that may be present, if any.
