The impact of tooth loss.

When the natural smile has suffered and disappeared, it does not mean all is lost. Whilst hiding behind the face mask may seem like an easy fix whilst society can hide their smiles, there is no need to hide or avoid the issue. Whether cosmetically the loss of the tooth seems unimportant or whether it is a matter of time, ignoring the loss of a tooth or multiple teeth can not only impact the surrounding teeth in a negative way, but in time, the jaw bone can recede creating a reduction in your facial definition. Whilst this may not happen overnight, the more time the area is left untreated, the more problems that are likely to occur as a result of the initial tooth loss increases greatly.

What can be done?

Dental implants are just one of the excellent ways to replace teeth to replenish and restore a healthy beautiful smile. These small titanium posts are inserted into the jaw bone and provide a secure and stable post for the replenished or restored tooth. Whilst this may sound rather invasive and complicated the process is carried out on a regular basis and with advances in both dental knowledge and technology, tooth replacement can now occur within one day. Walk-in with gaps in your smile and leave with a replenished smile with the Same Day Teeth procedure.

How does Same Day Teeth Marylebone work?

Traditional dental implants are often inserted and left to heal over several weeks before completion of the restoration occurs. Whilst this treatment time is suited to the traditional implant method, Same Day Teeth Marylebone uses fewer implants and therefore the replacement of the upper and lower teeth in full is entirely possible in just one appointment.

The number of implants used depends entirely on the quality and quantity of the jaw bone and whilst traditional implants may require bone grafting or reconstruction, the angling of the implants for the same day method can ensure that extensive bone work is not required. Once the implants are inserted into the jaw a fixed bridge can be attached to them securely ensuring your beautiful smile remains as natural as physically possible.

How long does the treatment last?

Whilst each individual case is entirely different, Same Day Teeth Marylebone smiles have been known to last as long as 5 years. There are many variables that can affect the length of time any treatment or procedure lasts which need to be understood and that can vary from overall oral hygiene standards carried out at home, to existing bone structure through to whether or not accidental damage occurs. All these daily aspects can affect the duration of time the treatment works which is why it is always done to the individual case. It is important that all patients understand that all dental treatments and procedures can carry potential risks. It is therefore advised that further information and advice is discussed by the patient with their local dental to ensure they fully understand the extent of each method before undergoing treatment.
