There are some very good methods of tackling tooth-loss around London Bridge; methods that have been tried, tested and successful for decades. Dentures and bridges- incorporating crowns, have a great track record in this area and have played a vital role in maintaining the future health of other teeth, gums and the bite of the jaws; cosmetically, these fittings also retain a healthy looking smile and stave off premature ageing to the face.
Over the years, said fittings have been held in the mouth by various cements and though they do their job, they can become fragile over time, especially if there is shrinkage of the gums. However, superb advances of dental implant technology have helped to give brilliant extra stability to these fittings. An implant is dead easy to fit these days thanks to laser and computer technology and can be located into the jaw in just an hour with minuscule damage to the jawbone and surrounding gum tissue.
How does The dental implant work for you?
What the implant does is act as a very strong anchor and it will last a lifetime. It can lock into place a dental bridge tight up against the gums; it can house single crowns, but if you have a few fitted, implants can hold full dentures into place without the fear of them falling out. If you have been affected by tooth-loss, you would be wise to look into the option of having implants fitted for the future, and most dentists in the area offer this treatment.
