Life benefits of using dental implants to replace your missing teeth

Dental implants offer a permanent solution to tooth loss, one which will give you back all the action and appearance of a second set of adult teeth. At Aura Dental in North West London we have dental implant options to replace anything from one to all of your natural teeth.

Every dentist will tell you that missing teeth always need to be replaced, one way or another. At Aura Dental in North West London be believe that dental implants are, in most cases, the best way to do this.

There are two options for dental implant treatment at our North West London clinic. The first is to have one implant and one crown placed, which is ideal if you have lost a single tooth, for example in a road traffic accident. Prices for single implant and crown restoration start at £2,300.

The second option is to have a series of dental implants placed, and a bridge attached. Prices for this option begin at £2,750, and will depend on how many implants you need and how many teeth will be attached to the bridge.

Unlike a traditional dental bridge, which can replace one or two teeth, the implant-retained bridges we use at our North West London dental clinic can contain as many adjacent teeth as you need – in fact, a series of carefully-placed dental implants can support a full arch of new teeth in bridge form.

Although most patients at our North West London clinic only need local anaesthesia for the placement of dental implants, we also offer treatment under sedation for patients who are nervous or phobic. If fear of the dentist has contributed to your tooth loss, we are committed to working with you to get you back to full oral health.

Your dental implants will need some time to heal and mesh with your jaw bone, and will develop a strength similar to natural tooth roots. Temporary teeth are likely to be fitted during the healing period so that you needn’t worry about being toothless. Permanent teeth are attached when healing is complete.
