Historical evidence for dentistry

You may be surprised to learn that as far back as the ancient Egyptians, both cosmetic and surgical dental practices were being used. Replacement teeth could have been made from worked bone or animal teeth and some may even have been from human donors.

A recent archaeological discovery sheds some light on the importance of dental treatments in the European Iron Age. The highly furnished grave of a young woman in her thirties was excavated in Northern France, which included the earliest known dental implant of its kind in Western Europe. Dating from 2,300 years ago, this Celtic woman is believed to have had an iron pin inserted into her jaw, which would have held a carved wooden or ivory tooth.

Hi-tech developments

At Aura Dental dentists in St John’s Wood, we use a range of ultra modern techniques to make sure our patients receive the most up-to-date care for their teeth. From 3D X-ray imaging to digital smile design and intra-oral cameras, technological innovations help your dentist to provide precise diagnosis and effective treatment.

3D Scanning

Traditional X-rays take one picture per exposure and can be time-consuming. 3D imaging shows much more precise and detailed information than simple flat X-ray images. A digital scanner mounted on a rotating arm is used to move around the patient and is quick, simple and painless. The 3-dimensional scans allow your dentist to examine your mouth from many different angles and at different degrees of magnification. They can be easily displayed on a computer screen and duplicated to be shared with other dental practitioners. This high quality, detailed visual information is invaluable in modern dentistry and provides you with the confidence and satisfaction you would expect from Aura Dental dentists. St John’s Wood practice would recommend you to call in for an initial consultation appointment, or book an appointment by email.
