Dental Implants in North London: Why you should replace your missing teeth

Dental implants are rapidly becoming one of the most popular ways to replace missing teeth. At Aura Dental in North London we think this is a good thing, and can replace one, some, or even all of your natural teeth with the help of implants.

Why you should replace missing teeth

Whatever way you choose to do it, every dentist will agree that missing teeth should be replaced – preferably sooner rather than later. As well as the obvious aesthetic issues that are raised when teeth are missing near the front of the mouth, particularly in the smile line, having missing teeth for any length of time can impact negatively on your dental and general health.

Additional strain is instantly put on your remaining teeth, which may also shift position into the gaps left behind, becoming crooked, more difficult to clean, even loose in the process. Depending on how many of your natural teeth are missing, your ability to eat a wide range of foods, and your ability to speak could even be affected. When the root parts of the teeth are missing, the jaw bone starts to shrink back, too, which can ultimately alter your whole facial structure (and make placing dental implants in the future more complex).

If you have lost one or more teeth, we invite you to join us at Aura Dental in North London for a consultation as soon as possible. Whether you choose to go down the root of dental implants or you opt for a traditional bridge or denture, it is always best to replace missing teeth.

Advantages of dental implants

At our North London clinic, we believe that dental implants have several advantages. These include the fact that they are the only way for a dentist to replace your tooth roots, helping preserve bone structure and anchoring your new teeth firmly in place.

With implants you can eat whatever you choose, smile and speak with confidence. They are in effect a second chance at a healthy jaw of teeth.

We offer one implant with a crown, or multiple implants with a bridge at our North London practice.
