When you are an adult with missing teeth or a missing tooth, it can have a dramatic impact on how you carry yourself and how you feel in your day-to-day life. Especially if the missing tooth is located near the front of the mouth.

In the past, the only options available for replacing missing teeth included a fitted bridge, a denture or a partial denture. But thanks to advances in dental treatments, many surgeries are now able to offer dental implants to patients with missing teeth

And our surgery is no exception!

At Kings Dental Clinic, we are proud of the prosthodontics Hammersmith that we can offer to our patients, including dental implants and implant-supported bridges and dentures. Affixed to the jaw, implants ensure that your new teeth will not move and will feel just like the real thing.

Want to know more about the advantages of having dental implants or prosthodontics Hammersmith?  Read on!

Stable

As we mentioned before, a key advantage of having prosthodontics Hammersmith (specifically dental implants) or a prosthesis supported by dental implants is that it will feel just like your real teeth. This is because the implants are fitted via surgery and require osseointegration to occur, which fuses them to the jawbone. And so, anything that is attached to this implant will not or should not move.

Easy to care for

Many patients who have had a detachable bridge or set of dentures have found them easy to care for, but it is a bit removed from what is involved in caring for natural teeth.

With oral implants, all that is required is that you brush the prosthetic teeth twice a day, floss between them and attend check-ups with our team to ensure that there are no signs of gum disease or other issues which could cause the premature loss of the implant.

Affordable

It may sound odd to state that dental implants are affordable, but when compared to the costs associated with missing teeth, such as excessive fillings, crowns or even orthodontic work, dental implants are indeed more affordable.

And at our clinic, we are happy to be able to offer our patients 0% financing options to help you spread the cost of oral implant fittings over several months, so they will not take a toll on your finances.

Natural looking

If you are looking to fill a single gap in your teeth, you may be concerned that the prosthetic that will be attached to the implant will stick out like a sore thumb.

However, our team can match your surrounding natural teeth in colour, shade and translucency of the enamel, so any prosthetic that is fitted will not look unnatural and will blend in seamlessly. If you are having an entire set of dentures fitted using implants and want a gleaming Hollywood smile, we can do that too.

Long lasting

With correct aftercare, oral implants can last up to and over 15 years and, as mentioned before,  this aftercare is not extensive and simply requires you to brush your implant as you would your normal teeth and attend biannual check-ups with our team. Perfect!
