Dental implants: an investment in your future – and your health

Dental implants are an increasingly popular solution for patients who have lost their teeth. At Aura Dental in North London, we see patients who have suffered tooth loss for many reasons – decay, gum disease, injury or accident. Whatever the reason, as dentists we always advise patients to replace their missing teeth, and believe that implants are often the best way to do so.

Why is it important to replace missing teeth?

When we lose a tooth, we often lose confidence in our smile. This can have a negative effect on our self-esteem and our interactions with others. There are further health reasons to replace missing teeth, as other teeth may move into any gaps and your diet may be restricted to soft foods. Over time, your jaw bone beneath any gaps also starts to resorb or deteriorate. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement that integrate with the bone and prevent this from happening.

At Aura Dental in North London our dentists are experienced in placing dental implants. If you are interested in this treatment, we invite you to speak to our team at an implant consultation.

At an implant consultation, your dentist will discuss the benefits of dental implants and will talk you through the procedure. They will also examine your mouth and jaw, taking x-rays as necessary to establish your suitability for treatment with implants.

Aura Dental has two options for implant treatment at our North London practice: a single implant with a crown for patients who have lost one tooth, and implant-retained bridges, which use more than one implant and suits patients who have several missing teeth.
