Please mind the gap

Many people agree that the most noticeable thing about having missing teeth is how it affects your smile. If you have one or two front teeth missing, it can make you feel very self-conscious. Going for dental implants in St John’s Wood can help you to smile to be carefree again.

On the other hand, you may not feel so negatively about the gap in their teeth. You may embrace it or view it as character building. Or perhaps the teeth have fallen out at the back, and your smile isn’t quite as shocking.

While it’s great that you may not feel too unconfident in your appearance, we advise that you don’t ignore the gap for too long, as you can still benefit from going for dental implants in St John’s Wood. In the long run, tooth loss can have serious consequences for your oral health.

When one tooth is missing, the other teeth notice. Adjacent teeth may begin to start moving into the new space, or the opposing teeth in the upper jaw may protrude into the gap. This makes the teeth harder to clean and may lead to decay and inflammation.

You will also be likely to notice a change in your ability to eat certain foods. Missing teeth will make food harder to chew and digest properly, meaning you don’t get all the nutrients you need if you cut certain foods from your diet. Besides this, no one wants to limit their choice on the menu. Going for dental implants in St John’s Wood will allow you to go on eating all the tasty varieties life has to offer.

Why dental implants?

Dental implants are a great solution, as they mimic your natural teeth. The implant acts as the root of the tooth, providing a strong foundation for the crown, without compromising the health of the surrounding teeth.
