Stronghold of the medical community
Since as far back as the early 19th century, Harley Street in the center of London has been synonymous with the highest possible standards of excellence in the fields of medicine and cosmetic dentistry. Harley Street began to gain its reputation as the epicenter of cutting-edge innovation in the practice of medicine around 1816, when its large Victorian townhouses appealed to medical practitioners as it allowed them to house both their practices and lodgings in the same space. One of the more notable practitioners to reside on Harley Street in its early days was Florence Nightingale, who lived and worked in the area around 1854. Today Harley Street still upholds its standing reputation as the place to go for top-tier quality medical and dental work, with numerous practices across a range of fields. For those seeking dental implants on Harley Street, there are some of the most highly renowned practitioners in the city who are perfectly suited to meet the needs of any patient.
Treatment catered to you
One such dental practitioner operating out of Harley Street is the Harley Street Dental Clinic. For over twenty years the trained professional in-house team of dentists, dental hygienists and receptionists have been working tirelessly to provide both local residents and beyond with a patient-centered, bespoke dental service like no other. It is their belief that each patient presents an entirely new set of challenges and obstacles, and that – just as no two sets of teeth are identical – no two treatments ought to be exactly the same. Rather, treatment at Harley Street Dental Clinic is tailored to meet the specific needs and requirements of the individual patient – rather than adopting the one-size-fits-all approach to dentistry which has become all too popular across the county.
Putting the pieces together
The installation of dental implants is one particularly popular cosmetic dental procedure which is on offer at Harley Street Dental Clinic. Implants are only generally opted for in instances where teeth have been lost or damaged beyond repair – and act as a prosthetic solution to large and unsightly gaps in patients’ teeth. The process of installing dental implants at the Harley Street Dental Clinic generally begins with a consultation between the patient and a practitioner of their choosing, with whom they share trust and a good rapport. During this consultation, the dentist would discuss the process of installing dental implants, and why they are the patient’s best form of treatment. Only once the patient feels comfortable with the undertaking, would the process begin. Installing dental implants initially consists of drilling a small hole into the space in the patient’s gum where the missing tooth or teeth would be. Then a titanium screw is inserted into the hole and left to heal. After a brief healing period, during which time the titanium fuses with the bone in the patient’s gum, a replica tooth (or denture) constructed from plastic or porcelain is then fixed into the screw and thus the gap is filled with a virtually indistinguishable, good-as-new tooth. Treatment of this nature can be massively beneficial in booting the self-esteem and confidence of those seeking it as implants afford them the ability to once again smile to their fullest potential, without having to be embarrassed over exposing large, unsightly gaps in their mouth.
