Over time our\nteeth take quite a battering from the likes of our diet, activities and general\noral health routine. This can start to manifest itself in the form of\novercrowding, cracks, chips or in some cases an entire tooth falling out or\nbeing badly decayed to the point it needs to be removed, leaving you with a gum\nfilled void in your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To rectify this,\nour team might suggest that implants may be the right way to go to start\nreshaping and restoring that grin. Here is how we can save your smile with dental implants in St John’s Wood<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are they?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those coming for\ndental implants in St John’s Wood<\/strong> for\nthe first time, here\u2019s a little extra information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The implants are\nessentially a manufactured tooth root topped by what is normally a ceramic\ncrown, new teeth that are inserted below the gum line and directly into your\njawbone. These new artificial teeth are held in place with a titanium screw\nthat would have been sterilised before the fitting to limit the spread of any\nbacteria. The goal of the metal screw in your jaw is to provide a sturdy\nplatform for your new tooth crown to rest on whilst the bone heals back around\nthe new addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 When are they used?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned\npreviously, our team may suggest this treatment to you as a way to replace any\nbadly broken, damaged or infected teeth. It can also be used to fill gaps in\nyour smile, or even to rectify extreme cases of overcrowding, by replacing the\ncrooked teeth and it can also be used as a way to strengthen surrounding teeth\nagainst further damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Aura Dental<\/strong>\nour highly trained team of professionals will expertly shape and shade your new\nimplant to ensure that it blends in and provides you with a natural-looking,\nsturdy replacement for that tooth you have lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the procedure going to be painful?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most\ncommon questions that our team hears from patients is whether an upcoming\ntreatment is going to feature any discomfort or pain.  With implants there may be some mild\ndiscomfort as it does involve some minor surgery, but our team would normally\nuse a local anaesthetic to numb the area and reduce the amount of pain you may\nfeel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caring for your new implant after treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After your new\ntooth has been fitted your main priority should be to keep it clean and\nbacteria free, as failure to do so could lead to inflammation and infection\nsetting in, which can cause all sorts of problems in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in order to\nkeep your implant sparkling clean we recommend that you give it a light\nbrushing at least once a day as part of your normal oral health routine. Dental\nfloss can still be used to remove stubborn food particles around the implant\nsite, but avoid using mouthwash for a few days after the procedure as the\nchemicals in some brands can irritate your gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are just a\nfew interesting facts about our implants and how we can use them to restore\nyour smile. If you would like to learn more about the benefits of this\nprocedure then just get in touch with our team at the practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
