The implants, not the teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people may think that what they see when\nthey smile is the important bit of the tooth, however, that\u2019s just the outside\nand of course, it serves the function of biting, chewing, and assistance with\nspeech. However the root of that tooth, the part that is secured into the jaw\nis the bit that holds everything together; from the structure of the jaw bone\nto the alignment of your bite, it\u2019s the bit we don\u2019t see that is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a tooth falls out due to injury or decay, a\nhole is left in a small socket, where it used to fit. Dental implants in\nSt. John\u2019s Wood<\/strong> are titanium screws that are surgically placed in\nthis space to fill the socket and a custom artificial tooth is then secured\nonto that as a separate entity that may be replaced or changed if needs be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of implants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implants, come in different shapes and sizes and\nyour dentist will decide which is best suited to you after an inspection of the\nstate of your jaw and gums. In general, titanium that is used in the body can\nlast upwards of twenty years as it is very durable and seldom rejected; dental\ntitanium may last a lifetime if all goes well with the postoperative healing\nprocess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are commonly 4 types of implants that a\ndentist may consider when it comes to your tooth replacement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two-stage<\/strong> – A surgery is conducted to place the correct implant into the jaw bone. After a few months of healing, another minor surgery is performed to attach the artificial tooth or crown as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Endosteal<\/strong> – These are placed using the two-stage method but may support a bridge of more than one tooth per implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single-stage <\/strong>– A longer implant is placed into the jaw that remains exposed during the healing process allowing for direct attachments of the tooth or crown without a second minor surgery to expose the implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subperiosteal are implanted with the same\ntechnique as the aforementioned single-stage implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is a good candidate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\npermanent long-lasting dental implants\nin St. John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>, any adult who has lost a tooth or multiple teeth are\ngood candidates for an implant consultation at their dentist. Even if only one tooth needs replacing it is important to see that it\ngets done as the health implications for a missing tooth over time can be\ndisastrous. Implants can last upwards of 20 years with many cases proving to\nhave lasted a lifetime, meaning that they are a secure investment in your oral\nhealth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
