Why should I choose dental implants in St John\u2019s Wood?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people are dissuaded from using tooth\nimplants because they cost more than dentures and bridges. While they are\nvalued at a higher price, you must take into account what you are paying for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are implants? To answer this question,\nwe must look at the anatomy of a tooth. Every tooth in your mouth has a root,\nwhich is part of the tooth below your gums, and the crown, which is the visible\npart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are tiny screws that replace your\nmissing tooth at the root, which are inserted into your bone. Over time, we\nconnect an abutment to the metal post and a prosthesis to the abutment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the process of getting tooth implants?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obtaining implants is a lengthy process that\ntakes up to six months. There are two minor surgical procedures and a hefty\nrecovery involved. However, if you are looking for a quick fix, implants are\nnot for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the process can even begin, you must be\ndeemed fit for the procedure, and unfortunately, not everyone is. To be\nconsidered a suitable candidate, you must have healthy gums and enough density\nand volume of bone in the area of your missing tooth.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may need to undergo a root scale and panning\nif you have gingivitis, which is a disease of the gum, before your implant\nprocedure can be administered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have insufficient bone, you will need to\nundergo bone augmentation surgery, such as bone grafts which is the transplant\nof bone from other parts of your body to your mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Undergoing surgeries like the one above can make\nimplants possible. However, you will have to wait, and endure extensive\nrecoveries, before you can flaunt your new tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do implants stay in your mouth?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason why implants are popular is that\nthey are firmly lodged into your bone and can only be removed by your dental\npractitioner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The metal fuses with the surrounding tissue in a\nbiological process called ‘osseointegration’. Osseointegration is the\nsuccessful integration between bone and metal, which occurs because the body\nregards the metal (titanium), as part of the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will you need to replace implants in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the proper care implants are a lifelong\ninvestment and because implants are securely lodged into your jaw, you will not\nhave to worry about them slipping out at inopportune moments. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
