If you have lost one, several or all of your natural teeth, you may feel insecure about your appearance. Whether the result of an accident, gum disease, old age or bad genes, missing teeth can affect your confidence and create much more serious health problems in the long run. Whatever the reason for the loss of your teeth, you can now restore your chewing and biting ability with dental implants.

Unlike other tooth replacement options that merely sit on the gums without interacting with the jawbone, dental implants are stabilised in the jawbone and form a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Dr Joe Bhat, an experienced implant dentist with an impressive academic record, can help you decide whether dental implants are a viable treatment option for you. Dr Joe Bhat is passionate about dental implants and the benefits they can bring to a patient’s health and wellbeing.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small posts that are made of titanium. They are surgically inserted into the jawbone and replace the missing tooth roots. Because titanium is metal that is compatible with the human body, the dental implants actually fuse to the jawbone and help towards the creation of new bone tissue over time. This way they are stabilised into the jaw and provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges and dentures. This way, dental implants look, feel and function just like your natural teeth.

Benefits of dental implants

Dental implants have many benefits over other tooth restoration methods. Unlike dentures, dental implants do not become loose over time and do not require special maintenance. As long as you brush and floss them along with the rest of your teeth, they will stay healthy and strong for a lifetime. On the other hand, unlike bridges that require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth for support, dental implants do not affect your natural teeth in any way. More importantly, dental implants protect the jawbone from deteriorating and encourage the growth of new bone tissue.

To learn more about dental implants and how they can benefit your oral health, get in touch with Dr Joe Bhat today.

A UK prosthodontist is a dentist who has specialised in the replacement and restoration of teeth. A prosthodontist can give you back your natural, beautiful smile in the event of tooth loss.

Tooth loss can occur for a lot of reasons, from accidents to poor dental hygiene. Depending on your habits and your oral hygiene routine, you could be at risk of tooth loss. A leading cause of tooth loss is gum disease. At your check-up with your dentist, they will stress the importance of a good dental hygiene so you can avoid the trauma of tooth loss. However if it does strike, there are solutions.

Seek help

If you have already lost a tooth, it´s very important that you seek dental help as soon as possible. There are multiple reasons for this. Firstly, when you lose a tooth, the surrounding teeth will begin to move into the space left behind. This can lead to problems with crooked teeth that may need further attention later in life. Secondly, any gaps in your smile provide ideal conditions for harmful bacteria to thrive and multiply.

Treatment from your prosthodontist

With dentist Dr Joe Bhat, a leading UK prosthodontist, you can receive dental implant surgery. This type of treatment can help you with single or multiple missing teeth. This kind of surgical procedure involves a titanium screw being inserted into your jawbone. This screw fuses with the surrounding jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the attachment of replacement teeth in the form of a custom-made crown. What’s more the stimulation the dental implant provides to your jawbone, protects the health and integrity of your jaw. This means you can avoid jawbone degeneration, which often occurs after tooth loss.

Many patients, upon completion of their treatment, don´t remember which tooth is natural and which is false. A dental implant is the closest thing to having a natural tooth.

Dental implants can last you a lifetime, if you look after them well with good dental hygiene at home and regular dental check-ups. You won´t need to change your normal oral hygiene routine like you may have to with a traditional dental bridge. If you are interested in this treatment, visit our UK prosthodontist, Dr Joe Bhat.

Many people in the UK fear visiting the dentist. In fact, according to a recent study, over half of the UK´s population are afraid of visiting the dentist and 12% of these experience extreme dental anxiety. Due to this, modern dentists try to make the experience of visiting the dentist as relaxing and as comfortable as possible. This is especially true when dealing with more involved dental treatments, such as replacing missing teeth. If you have experienced tooth loss, you can visit our friendly dentist Joe Bhat. He is a specialist in the UK in prosthodontics. Let’s take a look at what that mouthful means and how such a specialist can help you.

What is prosthodontics?

Dentists who are specialists in the UK in prosthodontics have undertaken 3 years of further study and training in the replacement and restoration of teeth. In short, they make your smile healthier and beautiful again by replacing missing teeth, and by doing so also protect your remaining natural teeth.

Modern technology for better treatments

Our specialist Dr Joe Bhat exclusively carries out dental implant surgery. This type of treatment is the go-to solution for replacing missing teeth, leaving a natural looking and feeling finish. Dental implant surgery involves a minor surgical procedure, all completed under a local anesthetic. A titanium screw is fitted into the jawbone and allowed time to heal and fuse with the surrounding bone. Once this has been completed, a handcrafted crown is attached onto the screw, leaving you with a fully restored tooth, from top to bottom.

If you are feeling particularly anxious about undergoing dental surgery, sedation is also available to help you feel more relaxed and calm. Dr Joe Bhat will be happy to discuss these options with you.

The advantages of having a full smile

There are many advantages to having an even and full smile. Not only will dental implant treatment most likely give you a confidence boost, but it will make the maintenance of your teeth much easier. Without gaps in your smile, there are less places for harmful bacteria to gather and multiply. So, if you´re missing a tooth or multiple teeth, it is worth considering the specialist treatment available from Dr Joe Bhat in the UK: prosthodontics.

Losing a tooth can be a very stressful experience, but thanks to modern dental techniques, tooth replacement options have never been better.

With our modern, busy lifestyles, tooth loss is an issue that we may struggle to resolve, though it is important for our continued dental health that we do. No amount of dental hygiene can avoid accidents that can lead to tooth loss. However dental hygiene is still the most important factor effecting tooth loss. Keeping up with a good oral hygiene routine is key because it reduces the risk of gum disease, which is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults.

Why is it important to seek help promptly?

If you have lost a tooth, it is very important that you see a dentist as soon as possible. When you lose a tooth, the surrounding teeth will begin to move into the space left behind, creating more crevices for harmful bacteria to take root and multiply. Having a missing tooth also puts more pressure on the surrounding teeth when chewing. This can lead to problems with uneven tooth wear.

Modern solutions and UK oral surgery

Modern dentistry has seen a particular treatment growing in popularity in the UK. Oral surgery to fit dental implants provides the closest thing to a natural tooth to replace a missing one. This treatment involves a minor surgical procedure, carried out by the capable hands of specialist dentist Dr Joe Bhat, in which a titanium screw is inserted into your jawbone. This sounds painful, but the whole procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you´ll be kept as comfortable as possible.

Once the titanium screw has settled into the jawbone and healed, a handcrafted crown is attached on top, leaving behind a natural looking and natural feeling tooth.

This type of tooth replacement could potentially last you your entire lifetime, as long as you keep up with a good dental hygiene routine. Brushing 2 or 3 times a day, flossing, and using mouthwash will protect your investment and keep you smiling confidently. A lot of patients, after the healing process is fully complete, report that they can´t tell which tooth is natural and which is false!

It’s no mystery that losing a tooth can cause a lot of unwanted stress in your life. It can also impact more areas of your lifestyle than you might first expect. Having a missing tooth affects the rest of your natural teeth. This is because the surrounding teeth will begin to move into the gap left behind. This can lead to further problems with crooked teeth.

If your tooth has been damaged or lost in an accident or you have lost one or several teeth due to poor dental health, there are many treatments available to you provided by dentist Dr Joe Bhat.

The use of dental bridges

In the past, after tooth loss, the most viable replacement option would have been the use of a dental bridge. This type of treatment involves attaching a false tooth to the natural teeth either side of the gap. A big problem with this type of replacement is that the teeth either side will need to be damaged to attach the false tooth. The enamel on both teeth will need to be removed and new crowns attached. What’s more, your missing tooth root is not replaced, which can have knock-on effects on the health of your jawbone over time.

A newer wave of treatment for tooth loss

A more modern treatment is now recommended by dentists in the UK. Dental Implants offer a much more stable and more durable treatment. The dental implant treatment involves a minor surgical procedure, where a titanium screw is inserted into your jawbone. This titanium screw acts as an artificial tooth root, fusing with the surrounding bone of the jaw. When this screw has fused to the jaw, a crown is handcrafted and attached to the screw, creating a natural looking tooth replacement.

This treatment is the closest thing to having a natural tooth and comes with advantages with upkeep and durability. In the UK, Dr Joe Bhat is a specialist dentist and is referred to by over 300 dentists for dental implant treatment. If you are considering dental implants in UK then arrange an appointment to start your journey with Dr Joe Bhat today.

Dental implants are still a relatively new method of tooth replacement, although they were invented more than 50 years ago. In that time they have gradually moved from being an exceptional and unusual solution to tooth loss to the new gold-standard way of replacing lost teeth. The reason that they have been so widely adopted is due to their versatility and reliability. A single dental implant can be used to support a single crown, or a bridge of up to three teeth and just 4-6 implants will support a full upper or lower arch of dentures. Here at Moor Park Dental we have been fitting dental implants in London for more than a decade.

The most important thing to realise is that many millions of patients have now benefited from receiving dental implants, which have made a life-long difference to their quality of life. Here at Moor Park Dental in London, dental implants have proved to offer our patients many different advantages over traditional bridges and dentures.

The reason that you may find that you need dental implants in London is because you are suffering from some type of dental health problem such as gum disease or have been told that you need to have teeth removed due to decay. Your dentist will have to look at the underlying cause of these issues and may need to resolve them before dental implants can be considered.

Signs of poor oral health include bad breath, loose teeth and excessive bleeding of the gums, especially after having your teeth cleaned professionally. The reason these issues need to be addressed is that gum disease can be responsible for bone loss and there is a potential for failure of dental implants if this is not resolved.

Dental implants, what exactly are they?

Dental implants are artificial tooth root replacements, normally made from titanium, which has the unique property of fusing with living bone in a process called osseointegration. When the implant is fitted into your jaw, your dentist will be ensuring that it is in close contact to the surrounding bone. This will allow the implant and the bone to successfully take as new bone grows over the surface of the implant enhancing its stability.

What are the benefits of dental implants in London?

Once the implant is placed and fully integrated, crowns, bridges or dentures can be secured in place to complete the restoration. Because of the nature of this type of restoration, you will discover that there are many important benefits from having dental implants. The first and most noticeable is that your teeth will look and feel like they are your own. Additionally, your confidence may be restored, missing teeth can affect how you feel about your appearance as well as how difficult it can be to eat or speak properly.

Are dental implants suitable for everyone?

Dental implants are suitable for adults of any age, as long as their general health is good. If you are a heavy smoker or drinker there is a risk that dental implants will fail due to the effects of these habits on your oral health.

Since their introduction over 50 years ago, dental implants have proved to be the answer to many people’s prayers as a way to restore missing teeth. For dentists, they have provided a strong and stable solution to tooth loss. For people who have lost teeth, they can change their lives for the better in a matter of days, or even hours. As with any technology, new improvements to materials, and developments in techniques are being made all the time. This is true of dental implants and companies have now developed a wide range of implants which can now be used in new and different ways than before.

In the past, after dental implants were placed, it was necessary to allow everything to heal and become fully integrated before it was possible to fit the crown or other dental prosthetic. In some cases, it would often take up to six months to complete a patient’s implants. Now it is possible to remove all of your teeth, place the implants, and fit your dentures in a single day.

Enjoy the benefits of same day teeth

When you visit Moor Park Dental in London, dental implants which will hold your dentures in place can be fitted at the same time as your teeth are removed and a set of dentures will also be fixed in place at the same time. When you walk out of our dental practice in London, dental implants and dentures all in place, you can smile confidently, knowing that now your dentures will stay firmly and securely in place. This procedure is called same day teeth and offers you, the patient, the benefit of maintaining both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your new teeth from the start.

Other important bonuses of having the whole treatment carried out in just one day is that overall the costs are reduced, and the discomfort that you may experience is minimised.  You will be pleased to discover that you do not have to keep returning for multiple appointments, sometimes over a period of several months before your treatment is completed.

It is said that nothing lasts forever, and while that may be true, a dental implant will probably last a lifetime if properly cared for. Since their invention in the late 1950s, dental implants have changed the face of modern dentistry, as well as the faces and smiles of many hundreds of thousands of patients. At Moor Park Dental in London, dental implants are being used to resolve many different oral health issues related to tooth loss that affect our patients.

At our practice in London, dental implants are continuing to help many of our patients enjoy the simple things in life once more; simple things such as biting into a delicious crusty baguette or a crisp apple. Over the past 50 years, dental implants have gradually become the gold-standard for tooth replacement due to their many benefits. The most critical of these is that they feel and look just like your own natural teeth. In fact once they are fully healed and integrated, you may just forget that they are not your own teeth.

Getting down to the root of the problem

When a tooth is lost, the root is removed from the jaw, this results in the loss of bone in the jaw. If the tooth is not replaced, other teeth opposite and adjacent to the gap may start to move out of their correct position resulting in further tooth losses and eventually you will find yourself needing dentures. A dental implant can stop, or at least dramatically slow down this process by taking over the function of the missing root.

The continued stimulation of the bone in the jaw ensures that it continues to grow properly and maintains its structure and its strength. The teeth surrounding the implant also benefit from the restored support and so a single dental implant to replace a tooth can save many more of the remaining teeth.

One for all and all for one

Here at Moor Park Dental in London, dental implants are being used in a wide variety of ways. A single implant can be used to support a crown or a bridge and you can now have new teeth in a day.

Losing your teeth can seriously affect your quality of life, creating unwanted issues with eating or speaking and also your appearance. If the smile you see in the mirror is not the one you would like, you may find that your confidence starts to suffer. Gaps in your mouth can also lead to instability for your remaining teeth, as they can drift. If you have avoided considering replacements because you do not like the idea of dentures, then you may be interested in an effective technique available in London. Dental implants are used by Moor Park Dental and offer a secure solution to missing teeth.

Why are dental implants so popular?

At our practice in London, dental implants are valued because they look, feel and function just like natural teeth. Your appearance will be restored and you can live fully again. While you can enjoy your new teeth, there are also other advantages that you may not be aware of. When you bite and chew, the pressure exerted on your jaw stimulates the bones and tissues, keeping them strong. This does not happen when there are gaps or you wear dentures; however,but implants perform the same role as natural tooth roots and keep your jaw healthy. Having implants allows any remaining teeth to be preserved. If you have a bridge, healthy teeth need to be ground down to support the bridge.

What should I expect?

When you have your first appointment regarding dental implants in London your concerns and requirements will be discussed. We will also take x-rays if required and provide you with a written report, suggested treatment plan and an estimate of costs. If the case is very complex we may require a CT scan. Your implants are small metal screws that are inserted into the jaw under local anaesthetic. When they are stable, they can be used as a secure base for a single replacement tooth, several teeth or a full set of dentures.
