Having an amazing smile is usually on the top of most people’s list of the things they want, and when it comes to getting cosmetic surgery a vast majority of people want something done to their teeth. And as your teeth and smile are with you everyday, why wouldn’t you want something to smile about?

An alternative to dentures

But when you have the problem of having missing teeth, some may feel they don’t have anything to smile about at all, and may think dentures are their only possible option. But now there’s a better alternative to dentures, dental implants.

At Harley Street Dental Studio in London, dental implants can now be offered as a great alternative to dentures, which can cause difficulty for some people as they are known to slip and slide, which can make eating very difficult and can knock your confidence. However dental implants use titanium anchors that are fitted into the jawbone that make them much more secure, and banishes any issues of slipping and sliding that can come with traditional dentures.

Many benefits

They also have many benefits as they blend in with any natural teeth you have, they can last a lifetime, they won’t damage any of your remaining teeth and aside from the obvious self confidence boost they can preserve jawbone and gum tissue that can get worn down by dentures.

Surgery

Dental implants are placed via surgery; this involves having the titanium anchors placed into the jawbone that will function like a natural tooth root. After an appropriate amount of time the anchors will bond with the gum tissue and bone surrounding them, which will allow you to have studs secured to them and then the crowns will be attached to the studs.

So if missing teeth are a problem for you or your dentures aren’t quite working out, make yourself an appointment and find out how dental implants can work for you.
