Dental implants: the next best thing to natural teeth

Dental implants are an excellent option for patients who need to replace missing teeth. At Aura Dental in North London we offer two implant treatment options – a single implant with a crown, which is ideal for people who have lost one tooth, and an implant-retained bridge, which is an excellent option for those with more than one missing tooth.

Why we lose teeth, and why we must replace them

Whilst our teeth are meant to last a lifetime, sometimes life gets in the way. Trauma from accidents and injuries, plus conditions such as tooth decay and gum disease, can all lead to tooth loss. This can make you embarrassed to smile or laugh in public, but also has further implications for your general and dental health.

Losing your teeth can cause difficulties with biting and chewing food, which can make it difficult to enjoy a healthy diet. Your remaining teeth have a tendency to become misaligned as they move into any gaps, putting you at risk of further tooth loss. When many teeth are missing, your jaw bone is also likely to start shrinking.

Dental implants are the only permanent way to replace missing teeth, and the only tooth replacement option that helps to combat bone loss. They do this because they are placed in direct contact with your jaw bone in a small surgical procedure, carried out at our North London dental practice.

Because they are made from titanium, which is osteoconductive, dental implants integrate with your bone and encourage bone growth.
