[LONDON, 08/11/2018] Once a tooth is lost, the body believes the bone is no longer needed at that location and so resorbs it to use the nutrients elsewhere. Unfortunately, this means that bone density is lost, and the face can sag, giving it a prematurely aged look.

Harley Street Dental Clinic offers dental implants as a highly functional and efficient way to replace lost teeth. Dental implants are the only tooth restoration method that replaces the root as well as the crown of the tooth. This means that dental implants at Harley Street Dental Clinic shore up the facial structure. Dental implants trick the body into believing the natural tooth root has returned, and so it once again starts to build bone in that area.

Dental implants at Harley Street Dental Clinic also give back full functionality to the teeth. The patient can bite and chew as they would with natural teeth, meaning they can eat whatever they want again, and don’t have to avoid chewy or crunchy foods.

At Harley Street Dental Clinic, dental implants are fitted by Dr Sunny Kaushal, a highly experienced implant surgeon, with 22 years in the field. Sunny is a mentor for the Association of Dental Implantology and a lead tutor and lecturer at the Royal College of Surgeons. During his time at Harley Street Dental Clinic has fitted thousands of dental implants. Sunny has a particular focus on using advanced technology, such as computer-guided surgery, to help restore the smiles of Harley Street Dental Clinic patients.

At Harley Street Dental Clinic, patients can choose from a wide range of dental implants to restore one, several or all their missing teeth. Even if a patient has been told they aren’t suitable for dental implants, Harley Street Dental Clinic uses procedures such as bone grafts and sinus lifts to build up bone density and make dental implants available for as many patients as possible in Harley Street. Even dentures can be stabilised on dental implants at Harley Street Dental Clinic, giving the wearer back their full chewing power.
