Nope<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Actually, getting dental implants in St John\u2019s Wood is not a painful experience. We make sure you are completely numb with a local anaesthetic, which is plenty as there are far fewer nerves in the jawbone than in the teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ways to fix jawbones up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maybe you have already been told you can\u2019t have <strong>dental implants in St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong> because your jawbone has deteriorated, because you have been without teeth for some time or because you have had advanced gum disease, or uncontrolled diabetes. Times move on and these days we can give you a bone graft or a sinus lift to solve jawbone issues and if you have your diabetes under control, we can help. Come and get a second opinion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Short-term treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The alternative ways of getting teeth replaced \u2013 dentures or fixed bridgework \u2013 only last for 7-10 years, dental implants last for at least 15 years if you take good care of them. In fact, as long as you are on the case with oral hygiene, there\u2019s no reason why the implant posts should not last decades, even if you do need to get worn out porcelain crowns replaced. If you have several decades of living to get through, dental implants could even work out cheaper than the alternatives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What goes on in a consultation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our implant surgeon will take an in-depth look at your mouth, especially at your jawbone. We need to see what condition it is in and whether you will need preparatory treatments such as bone grafts or sinus lifts. Expect x-rays, maybe scans and a lot of questions about your health history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are so many reasons for not booking a consultation for dental implants in St John\u2019s Wood with us at Aura Dental.
