What dental implants in Harley Street can do for you

It can be very distressing to lose a tooth, due to an accident or an injury, or discover that, over time, your teeth need to be removed for the overall benefit of your oral health. Modern dental practices have allowed us all to benefit from a faster diagnosis of oral disease and decay, which can greatly limit the impact of poor oral health, but negative effects can still be seen over the years as we slowly age.

Dental Implants in Harley StreetThis means that many of us do need to face the reality that we are unable to keep all of our natural teeth throughout our lifetime. Thankfully, we have devised methods that mimic the feel and functionality of a natural tooth without compromising the density and structure of the jaw bone. Dental implants in Harley Street can give you back the smile you once had, before you suffered an accident or before age ravaged the health of your teeth.

There are many beneficial reasons as to why dental implants in Harley Street should be an option for you to consider. Not only can you feel more confident and comfortable with a complete smile again, but your health can be significantly improved by replacing the missing teeth that you have.

Why should I replace my missing teeth?

Missing teeth can result in poor nutrition, poor overall health, an increased risk of dental decay, gum disease and infection as well as other complications. With the human body being a holistic organism that scientists and researchers don’t even completely understand yet, there may even be other aspects of your health that are negatively affected by several missing teeth.

We know that surrounding teeth can shift and move once a single tooth has been avulsed, which can leave them at a greater risk of injury and cause pain in your mouth and when you bite and chew. Poor nutrition is a common side effect as people begin to eat foods that are more comfortable and easy to eat, rather than food that is nutritious or beneficial to their health.

Surrounding teeth at the site of a missing tooth are also exposed to bacteria, food debris, plaque and erosion, potentially leading to decay that can cause the necessity for their removal. A negative cycle can easily be inhibited with the application of a permanent replacement tooth.

An implant acts like a tooth root, rather than simply sitting on the gums of teeth like other methods. This permanent fixture gives you the confidence to carry out your daily life without concern, as well as allowing your body to react as if you have gained a natural tooth again.

We use a titanium rod as the replacement tooth root. This material bonds to the bone inside your jaw to create a permanent and stable structure for a crown or bridge to be attached to.
