If you are trying to make a decision about whether or not to go for dental implants in St John\u2019s Wood<\/a>, it is important to weigh up the benefits and costs, and compare them with other ways of restoring lost teeth.<\/p>\n

The benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n

In St John\u2019s Wood, dental implants are becoming the go-to tooth replacement treatment because they have so many benefits. <\/span>These are based upon the fact that dental implants replace the whole tooth, root and crown.<\/p>\n

\"DentalA single implant can support up to 3 teeth, giving them a stable chewing base that can withstand forces of up to 97kg or 200lbs, which is more than the chew of the average adult male.<\/p>\n

The presence of an artificial root in the jawbone gives the bone cells the stimulation they need to renew themselves. The renewal of cells keeps the jawbone strong and healthy, avoiding the degeneration that leads to the shrunken pointy jaw and collapsed lower face associated with age and tooth loss.<\/p>\n

Dental implants last a lifetime and are easy to care for, requiring no more than the careful brushing we give to natural teeth.<\/p>\n

Once they\u2019re in, they\u2019re in. Dental implants generally don\u2019t need replacing, or repeated visits for refits over the years. Implants stay where they\u2019re put and never start wobbling around.<\/p>\n

The costs<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Aura Dental in St John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>, dental implants start from \u00a32,500 per implant. Unlike other tooth restoration methods, that implant will almost certainly never need to be replaced. If it supports 3 teeth, that\u2019s actually \u00a3833 per tooth. Say you go on to live for another 20 years, each tooth has actually cost you about \u00a341 a year. If you had a bridge instead, it would cost from \u00a3699.50. Working on the same principle that that bridge holds 3 teeth and you need it for 20 years, and it lasts for 10 years, each tooth will cost you \u00a323.30 per tooth. But, say you live longer than another 20 years, say you live 30? Then, each implant-supported tooth will cost you \u00a327.70. As for your teeth on a bridge, you\u2019ll have needed your third bridge by now, so each tooth will still cost \u00a323.30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
