Aura Dental: our dentist St John’s Wood does it all

At Aura Dental, we are proud to offer excellent care to all of our patients. Our core values centre upon upholding our integrity and professionalism in all of our treatments, as well as empathising and understanding all of our patients’ needs, including those who have dental phobias or are nervous. We have an extensive range of treatments to cater for various issues in general dentistry, cosmetic and restorative dentistry, as well as emergency care. We understand, however, that preventive dentistry is really important and educating patients in how to care for their teeth and gums is also crucial in reducing the need for more treatment. For our younger patients, encouraging good habits from an early age can have major benefits for them as adults. However, for those who need our help, our dentist St John’s Wood is here to help. One treatment we offer for those with missing teeth is dental implants.

What are dental implants?

If you have one or more missing teeth, it is advisable to have them replaced because not doing so can lead to other teeth and the gums being overexposed to bacteria, which can cause further problems. Also, when you have missing teeth, it can cause issues with speech and the face can shrink as the structure has been lost that was provided by your teeth, causing you to look more aged. Thankfully, there is a way that this can be addressed with dental implants.

Implants are titanium screws that are attached to the jawbone. These screws fuse with the body’s tissues and become embedded into the jaw. Once they have healed, they shouldn’t be going anywhere. Depending on how many teeth you need to replace, you can then have crowns, bridges or dentures attached to them.

Why should I choose dental implants?

The results of having dental implants fitted are wonderful! Nobody should be able to tell that you don’t have a full set of natural teeth and they won’t give the game away when you are eating, drinking and socialising. You shouldn’t have to suffer the embarrassment of them loosening while you’re chatting and you won’t need to adapt your diet to avoid them breaking either. Our dentist St John’s Wood will tell you that this is the next best thing to having your natural teeth, both aesthetically and functionally. In fact, if your face had shrunk when you lost your natural teeth, dental implants should solve this issue too and you could even look more fresh-faced and youthful. If you did have issues with speech, this should also be rectified too.
