When a tooth is lost, the stimulation that\u2019s naturally provided by the root stops and the jawbone and gums begin to recede and change shape. Surrounding teeth can become loose in their sockets, or fall into the gap left by the lost tooth.<\/p>\n<p>Implants provide the same stimulation to the jawbone that a natural toot root does, helping to maintain the shape and density of a healthy jawbone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dental implant procedure at Aura Dental<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At our practice in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auradentallondon.co.uk\/dental-implants-intro.html\">St John\u2019s Wood, dental implants<\/a> are fitted during a minor surgical procedure. A small hole is created in your jawbone to allow the implant to be fixed firmly in place.<\/p>\n<p>The implant is made from titanium, which is a miraculous metal. The body registers it as natural tissue and grows bone and blood vessels around it. This process is known as osseointegration and can take from a few weeks to up to six months to complete. This integration creates a stable and durable implant, that can support a range of different tooth replacement options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What tooth replacement options are available with dental implants?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dental implants can replace one, multiple, a whole arch or a full set of teeth. A single implant can support up to three replacement teeth on a bridge, for example. The number of teeth that can be replaced with a single implant depends on the density of the jawbone at the point of insertion. Dentures can also be adapted to fix onto dental implants. Call into our surgery today to find out if dental implants could help you to a happier and healthier smile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the first implants were placed by dentists in the 1980s, they have been serving happy patients worldwide, and improving their quality of life.
