[ST. JOHN'S WOOD, 12/09/2017] Joints stiffen, hearing needs a boost, glasses become varifocal, and teeth can start to fail. Keeping everything going can become a full-time job, and that’s not a lot of fun.

If it’s teeth that are on the way out, people are faced with 3 choices: bridges, dentures, and dental implants. In St John’s Wood at Aura Dental, dental implants not only look good, they do the body good as well.

Dental implants from Aura Dental can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or a whole arch of teeth, depending on the patient’s needs. Aura Dental dentists recommend dental implants because they replace the root of the tooth as well as the crown. This is the crucial difference between dental implants and other tooth replacement options. Replacing the root has several important benefits. Let’s look at them now:

A strong, healthy jawbone with Aura Dental dental implants

When people come to Aura Dental for dental implants, they not only get new teeth, they get the assurance that over the coming decades the bone tissue around the implants will be constantly stimulated by chewing to renew itself.

Without dental implants, the bone tissue starts to resorb and the jawbone shrinks in width and height, creating the pointy-chinned saggy-faced look of old age.

Dental implants at Aura Dental provide better chewing ability

As dental implants anchor the teeth into the jawbone in the same manner as natural tooth roots, they provide a much more stable chewing base than other replacement methods. Dental implants from Aura Dental can withstand chewing forces of up to 97kg or 200lbs, which is more than the average male chewing force.

A better diet when you have dental implants from Aura Dental

Being able to chew properly means that Aura Dental patients can eat whatever they like and can taste what they eat because there is nothing masking their taste buds. A varied diet is important for long-term health and needs to include many of the foods that denture wearers are told to avoid.
