A complete reconstruction

In North West London dental implants are a permanent, stable way to replace missing teeth because they are fitted into the jawbone. Unlike other ways to replace a missing tooth, implants replace the missing root as well as the crown of the tooth. Having the root replaced helps stabilise your other teeth and also keeps your jawbone strong and healthy. This is because the teeth surrounding the gap left by a missing tooth tend to tip into it, and the jawbone below can start to shrink. This is what leads to that sunken look associated with age, but which is actually the product of a reduced jawbone and missing teeth. The more teeth you have lost the more pronounced this can become.

Dental implants prevent the loss of jawbone, thereby helping you avoid looking old before your time. They also create a stable base onto which custom-made artificial teeth can be fitted. Implants can be fitted for one tooth, or for a bridge with several teeth on it, or, even for a full set of teeth. In fact, there is one treatment known as All-On-4that fits a whole new set of teeth onto just 4 implants on the upper and lower jaw.

The process of having dental implants in North West London takes some time from start to finish. This is mostly because once the implants are in place, they need time to heal and integrate with your jawbone. This will take several weeks to a few months to complete. Only after that can the crowns of your new teeth be fitted.
