It is important to visit our dentist at Bromley Dental Practice regularly to make sure that your teeth and gums remain strong, healthy and free of decay or disease. Accumulating plaque and tartar can result in a wide array of dental issues. Plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth, and unless you attend dental checkups every six months, the build-up can begin to cause issues such as cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. This can eventually lead to irreversible damage to your teeth, periodontal disease and even tooth loss.

Tooth loss has significant consequences on your oral health. Tooth loss can result in misalignment issues and weaken your remaining teeth, resulting in further tooth loss. It is important that you visit our dentist here at Bromley Dental Practice as soon as possible if you have to undergo a tooth extraction or are suffering from tooth decay, gum disease, or tooth loss. Regardless of whether you have one or more missing teeth, you need to contact us at Bromley Dental Practice to find out what treatment options are available for you.

Dental implants

Tooth replacement therapy has advanced significantly over the last few decades, and dental implants have now become an excellent choice for replacing missing teeth. In comparison to traditional dentures, dental implants in Bromley provide a permanent solution for replacing your missing teeth. Dental implants in Bromley are small titanium components that can be inserted into the bone socket of your missing tooth and integrated with your jawbone so that they become a permanent fixture. To find out more, speak to us at Bromley Dental Practice today and ask about dental implants in Bromley.

Are dental implants suitable for you?

First, we need to make sure that you are eligible for the treatment; this means that you need to have healthy gums, sufficient healthy jawbone and no underlying medical conditions that may affect your body‘s ability to heal. We will take a medical history and also carry out a complete examination of your teeth, gums and jaw bone to help us come to a decision.

A sufficiently healthy jawbone is required to hold the implant firmly in place. With good oral hygiene and regular visits to our dentist here at Bromley Dental Practice, dental implants can last for the rest of your life.

Dental implant surgery

Dental implant surgery is designed to replace the root of your missing tooth to provide solid support for your replacement teeth. The procedure can be carried out under local anaesthesia, sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on your personal preferences. You should discuss with us how you feel about the surgery, and our dentist will decide on the proper type of sedation for you. Once the surgery has been completed, the implant will take approximately three or four months to be fully integrated into your jaw. After successful integration, the implant will be ready to be fitted with a prosthetic of your choice. Reach out to us at Bromley Dental Practice today to find out more.
