‘’Thank you so much for all the care you have taken – both of me and my dental implant – over the last 6 months. You were particularly kind the night I smashed my teeth, spending far more time allowed to me than I had the right to expect. I appreciate this and am very happy with the implants.’’
Our London-based dentists say, there are many causes of tooth loss, but the top one, globally, is gum disease (periodontitis). In many cases, poor oral habits lead to a build-up of plaque, which inflames and irritates the gums and eventually causes them to recede, which loosens the teeth.
Decay and cavities can also eat away at the teeth, and without intervention, extraction may be required.
There is also a link to other conditions and factors, for example, pregnancy, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Sometimes, a simple change to your lifestyle can make a big difference. For example, those who smoke are more likely to develop gum disease, which is a leading cause of tooth loss.
Or, you may eat a diet rich in sugary and acidic foods, which can damage tooth enamel and lead to tooth decay (cavities).
The best thing you can do to prolong your oral health, teeth, and gums is to regularly visit our dentists here in London, and ensure you brush and floss as your dentist recommends.
Implant treatment typically takes 3-6 months, but it can depend on your healing response. Although a relatively quick procedure, dental implants in London do require implant surgery and stitches.
Once in place, however, they’re a permanent solution for tooth loss and should last just as well as your natural teeth, providing adequate oral care.
Here at our London dental practice, we can offer single dental implants (for individual teeth and small gaps), multiple dental implants, implant dentures (for several missing teeth or full mouth dental implants for multiple missing teeth), and even fast implants.
All are carried out by our implant dentist, Dr Andreas Jahnigen, who has over a decade of experience in the field of first-class dental implant placement and dental care.
Oral surgeries at our dental implant clinic in London are carried out under a local anaesthetic, so that any discomfort during your treatment should be minimal.
Our dental implants in London are created to look, feel, and behave just like your natural teeth. During treatment, your dentist will insert the dental implant into your jawbone, much like the root of your natural tooth, to fill the gap in your teeth.
Unfortunately, dental implant patients cannot have the procedure while suffering from gum disease. In this case, your London dentist will need to treat periodontitis first so that your mouth is healthy before starting any implant treatment.
Our dental implants at our dental clinic in London look and feel just like a natural tooth, therefore offering a discreet and long-term solution to missing teeth.
