Walk out with teeth already in place

One of the hassles of having dental implants in St John’s Wood is that you have to allow a good stretch of time while the implants integrate with your bone tissue. That may be fine and dandy if you have just one or two missing teeth and don’t mind living with a gap while the implant and bone below the gum line fuse with each other. But if you have a whole or arch of teeth that are failing, or maybe even both arches, you are not going to going around toothless for a few months, are you?

Well, the good news is that with Teeth in a Day dental implants in St John’s Wood, you don’t have to. How’s how this treatment works:

Stage one: the implant surgery

You come into us at Aura Dental and we start by removing any teeth you have left in the arch that are failing. Once we have cleaned out your teeth, we are ready to insert between four and six dental implants on each arch. We usually put four dental implants in the lower arch, and six in the upper arch. Once that is done, we then attach some pre-made bridges, which our lab technician will have adapted to fit your arches. These are temporary teeth. You go home with your new teeth in a day.

Stage two: the healing stage

This is a vital part of getting dental implants in St John’s Wood, so you must not be all gung-ho with your new implants. For the first 24 hours, you will need bed rest, and then for the next week or so, you will have to restrict yourself to a liquid diet of soups and smoothies. You will be able to numb any pain with over-the-counter medications. It’s best then to remain on a soft food diet for the next few months so that you do not put strain on your implants while they are becoming one with your jawbone.

Stage three: you get your perfect teeth

You come back and we fit you with metal-reinforced bridges with crowns that are indistinguishable from natural teeth.

And that’s it. Job done.
