Are you missing your teeth? Don’t miss dental implants in Bromley!

If you have lost one or more of your teeth due to any reason, not replacing your teeth could have a detrimental impact on any remaining natural teeth you have, as well as your gums. If you don’t fill in the gaps in your smile, you will leave your teeth and gums more exposed to bacteria, which could lead to further dental issues.

By getting missing teeth replaced, you can improve the appearance of your smile and reap the health benefits too. You could even find yourself looking younger since your face may have become drawn due to the missing teeth. Replacing your missing teeth could provide your face with the structure it needs to appear fresh and fabulous. At Bromley Dental Practice, we have a solution to replacing missing teeth that is almost as good as having your natural teeth! Dental implants in Bromley are the treatment you need to know about.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants in Bromley are screws that can be fixed into your jawbone where there are empty sockets. These screws form the posts that your replacement teeth of crown, bridges or dentures can be attached to. The screws will be firmly fixed in place because the body’s tissues fuse with the screws as they heal around them; this means that you shouldn’t need to worry about your replacement teeth loosening when you eat or speak. You also won’t need to remove them in the evenings. Replacement teeth can be crowns, bridges or dentures, depending on how many teeth you are replacing. Crowns are typically used for single tooth replacements; bridges are used to replace several teeth, and dentures can replace whole sets.

How long does it take to get dental implants?

Dental implants in Bromley here at Bromley Dental Practice will require two appointments. During the first appointment, we will fix your dental implants into your jawbone. We will attach temporary replacement teeth to the screws whilst your gums fuse with them. You will then need to return to see us for a second appointment, during which we will attach your permanent replacement teeth after they have been manufactured for you.

Will having implants require major surgery?

Having dental implants doesn’t involve major surgery. You will only need to be under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel anything while undergoing the treatment. Having missing teeth replaced could also alleviate discomfort experienced prior to this treatment and prevent further issues from occurring that could cause you pain in the future.

Any other benefits?

When you have dental implants, nobody will realise that you do. But it’s not just about aesthetics! Replacing your missing teeth could improve your speech and your ability to chew and alleviate jaw pain. What’s more, you could even look younger since implants add structure to your face to stop it from looking drawn, as can happen when you have missing teeth.

To learn more about dental implants, book a consultation with our friendly and professional team, who will examine your mouth and advise you on the available treatment options. If dental implants are considered a viable treatment and you are keen to proceed, you could have a fantastic smile within just a couple of visits!
