It\nis important that you are aware of the negative impacts that missing teeth can\nhave on your physical and psychological self and that by taking action, you are\ncaring for yourself in a proactive and positive way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sooner that you act and decide to get dental implants in\nBromley<\/a>, the less impact that your missing teeth will have on your\nbody. You will be able to quickly revert to your original self, enjoying the\nfoods you once ate and laughing again with confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the negative impacts of missing teeth?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a tooth is lost, other surrounding teeth can\nbegin to shift and twist to compensate for the exposed area of gum. This can\nlead to further complications with the rest of your teeth and weaken the hold\nthat your roots have within the gum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exposed gum tissue is subjected to damage and\ninfection through cuts and pressure caused by sharp and hard foods that can\ncause injury. This can cause many of our patients to begin avoiding certain\nfoods which can have an overall negative impact on their health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all want to have a beautiful and attractive\nsmile and when we have lost a tooth we can begin to feel less about ourselves.\nBy acknowledging these impacts and deciding to make a change by getting dental implants in Bromley<\/strong>, you are taking the\nfirst step to a happier and healthier you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants in\nBromley<\/strong> are essentially replacement tooth roots.\nTitanium metal rods are surgically inserted into the jawbone to mimic a natural\ntooth root. This stimulates the jawbone in the right way, allowing it to remain\ndense and strong. Dentures do not have this effect and this can be the cause of\njawbone degradation over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the site of the surgical procedure has\nhealed, we are able to permanently place a crown or a bridge onto the exposed\nsection of the rod to create a natural looking and feeling tooth replacement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are able to use the tooth as you would your\nnatural teeth, restoring your smile to its full functionality again. This\npermanent procedure when maintained correctly can last our patients for most of\ntheir lifetimes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aftercare is immensely important, as it is with any kind of dental or medical care. By ensuring that the site of the implant remains clean, you are greatly increasing your chances of success. You need to maintain an appropriate level of oral hygiene and to frequently visit our hygienist who will be able to clean the area with tools that are specifically designed to remove any hard to reach debris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a positive mentality and the right approach to oral health, you can enjoy a smile that can last you a lifetime. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
