<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThanks to modern dentistry, you do not have to continue feeling embarrassed by missing teeth for the rest of your life. Save your smile with dentures, bridges and now dental implants in Bromley<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When asked by our patients, we like recommending dental\nimplants in Bromley<\/a> to them, and this article explains why. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Reasons why dental implants in Bromley are a life changing device and how they can help you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have lost teeth in the past, you may have\nrestored your smile with dentures. While fine for the most part, these devices\ncan get cumbersome and restrict the food you can eat to avoid damaging them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, you are somewhat limited by what you\ncan and cannot do with dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, tooth implants have few\ndrawbacks and multiple benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of an implant?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Implants, uniquely, are embedded into your jaw.\nWe drill a small screw in the area of the missing tooth in a minor surgical\nprocedure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Over a few months, the bone surrounding the screw\ngrows around it, until it is fully merged into the jaw. This process, referred\nto as osseointegration, successfully occurs when the metal and bone fuse\ntogether. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When this happens, the titanium becomes the\nartificial tooth root that will hold your future crown in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the new crown is held firmly in place,\nyou will not have to watch what you eat or stick to a soft food diet for the\nrest of your life. You can also talk without your device causing you to lisp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For all its life-altering features, we find that\nsome people can be scared off by the price of implants, hesitant to invest that\nmuch in a device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, when you consider the benefits of\nwearing implants, the higher price is vindicated and in the long run, worth it.\nUnlike other restorative appliances, you will not need to replace it in seven\nto fifteen years because if looked after correctly, dental implants last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What else should I know?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can be missing one or multiple teeth for\nimplants, but you do need enough bone in your jaw in which to embed them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A consequence of losing teeth and not replacing\nthem immediately, or wearing dentures before implants, is that the bone under\nthe missing tooth resorbs because it is underutilised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want tooth implants despite possessing\ninsufficient bone, you might want to consider bone grafts. While bone graft\nsurgery might delay the procedure by months, you can still restore your desired\nsmile in time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your gums should also be reasonably healthy, because if they are not, your implants are less likely to integrate with the surrounding bone, and will fail. We can prevent this from happening by treating infected gums with a professional cleaning to remove harmful bacteria and germs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n No one wants to lose their natural teeth. But, when you get older if it does happen, you can find a restoration solution with us. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Your teeth form part of who you are, so it is understandable if you feel as though part of your identity is lost when your teeth fall out.
