Dental Implants & Bridges
Harley Street
Losing a tooth, a number of teeth or having loose dentures can be quite upsetting as they alter your facial appearance and can keep you from enjoying your favourite foods.
But it’s not a permanent setback. With dental implants, you won’t have to worry about being left with gaps in your teeth or unable to indulge your appetite for very long. Dental implants are replacement tooth roots made of titanium. They are inserted using a simple, pain-free procedure under local anaesthesia.
Advantages of dental implants
With an implant to replace a missing tooth we won’t need to drill into your healthy teeth. If you’re missing several teeth, we can build a bridge supported by an implant, you’ll have as few as three and as many as twelve fixed together.
Dental implants can even be used to replace complete dentures. Read More
Like natural teeth, your dental implants will need care, cleaning and attention to avoid gum disease or the build up of bacteria. Once located in the jaw, the implant functions just like a natural tooth and can support a single crown or a row of teeth.
Where many teeth are missing the careful placement of a few implants will make an entire arch of new teeth to be fixed in the position of the original missing teeth permanently.
For persons with loose, uncomfortable dentures dental implants can eliminate these irritating false teeth by fixing new teeth onto the solid base that they provide.
