What Is A Dental Implant And Why Might You Need One?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth that is anchored into the missing tooth site and there are several reasons why it may be prudent or necessary to get one:

• If you have one or more missing teeth, then you may be a good candidate for a dental implant.
• If you have bad dentition and a tooth (or teeth) need extracting, you might also be a candidate for dental implants.
• If you currently wear conventional dentures or dental bridges and would like a more permanent solution, dental implants provide exactly that.

While ignoring a missing tooth may seem like a good idea, particularly when it isn’t visible when you smile, a tooth gap can trigger a whole host of other issues. This is why it’s important to plug the gap or gaps with some type of restoration. It just so happens that dental implants are the gold standard of missing tooth replacement and have been for many decades.

So Why Dental Implants here in Earls Court, Kensington?

Firstly, we only use top-tier implant brands like Straumann to ensure you get the quality smile you deserve – but more importantly, we use the latest digital technology to plan and fit your implant-based restorations.

Ultimately, this means precision placement, less surgery time and a speedier recovery. Often, implants can be placed in as little as 20 minutes without having to cut the gum.

Additionally, we’re adept in full-arch restorations. In fact, we even teach it to other dentists so you can have a fully-secured full-arch replacement avoiding the need for conventional dentures.

Whether it’s a single tooth replacement, several teeth, or an entire arch, our team will take the time to talk you through your options so you can make a fully informed decision.
