At The Harley Dental Implant & Cosmetic Centre,
we pride ourselves at being in the forefront of modern
dental implantology.
Dental implants offer a breakthrough in tooth replacement
in a controlled and predictable way leading to a return
of the quality of life that you deserve.
Backed with years of research and clinical testing,
dental implants now have the highest success rates of
any functional body part replacement including hip and
knee joints. They allow us to provide our patients with
fixed restorations so that they can bite, chew, smile
and talk with the same confidence as with natural teeth.
We bring together years of dedicated training in this
field to provide our patients with a complete service
in order to treat missing teeth.
Whether you have one tooth, several teeth or even all
your teeth missing, we can tailor a range of treatment
options to suit your demands and your budget.
Our highly experienced team can help you to restore
your smile to its youthful appearance and function.
Denture wearers know that dentures are
not their own teeth and will not function like their
own teeth. Implants can be used to stabilize or to replace
dentures altogether.
The biting force with dentures is less than 80% that
of natural teeth and the longer the dentures are worn,
the more bone is lost under them. This missing bone
contributes to the collapsed appearance of the face,
as this bone is needed to support the lips and cheeks.
As this bone deteriorates over time the lips and chin
become caved in and the muscles of the face begin to
become lax and lose their tone.
If implants are placed, this bone can be maintained
and hence patients without teeth can keep their youthful
appearance much longer in life enabling them to bite
into food with the same force as when they had their
own teeth.
It is better to place implants earlier rather than later
to avoid the jawbone melting away due to dis-use. In
many cases where the bone has already been lost, we
can use innovative procedures to grow new bone in the
jaw. This allows us to treat patients who would not
otherwise be candidates for dental implants.
These and other new procedures allow almost anyone to
have their missing teeth replaced with implants.
At the Harley Dental Implant & Cosmetic Centre,
our service extends much more than just placing and
restoring dental implants. We share our knowledge with
all our patients in maintenance and hygiene so that
we can maximise the lifespan of your investment in your
health.
