New teeth, new life

When you start to lose your teeth, your life can diminish in scope. You may not notice it with the first tooth, but slowly, as more fall out or have to be removed, you will find that it becomes harder to chew and your diet becomes restricted. If the teeth are coming out of the front of your mouth, you will find that you don’t smile and laugh like you used to, for fear of showing your awful gappy mouth to people and offending them.

Gaps may not have mattered a few decades ago, but these days, perfect teeth are the order of the day. And with standards like that to live up to, it’s easier to stay tight lipped and perhaps get a little bit depressed because you’re not laughing enough. If you want a new life with new teeth that do a good job of eating, then you need to seriously consider getting dental implants in St John’s Wood.

In St John’s Wood, dental implants are becoming the go-to tooth replacement method for our patients at Aura Dental. They love how these modern day artificial teeth do such a good job that once they are in and integrated to the jawbone, beyond diligent twice-daily brushing and flossing, they can pretty much forget about them.

Dental implants are so much easier to look after than dentures, with all that adhesive and overnight soaking, and the fear that they might break. All you have to worry about with dental implants, is keeping plaque at bay, so that you don’t develop gum disease.

Either? Or? How about both?

You may be one of the many people who already have dentures, or can’t afford dental implants and so have to choose dentures. If so, there’s a wonderful compromise technique called denture stabilisation. This uses mini dental implants to hold the dentures in place so that you don’t have to worry about them wobbling around on your gums. The dentures continue to be removable, and we recommend you continue to soak them overnight to give your gums a rest, but otherwise, you get all the advantages of dental implants in St John’s Wood at much less expense.
