However, it is\nalso worth thinking about what happens when many or perhaps all of our teeth\nare broken down or lost. As it turns out, <strong>dental implants in Bromley<\/strong>\ncan still be a helpful treatment for those of us who have lost all our teeth.\nMore specifically, a dental implant treatment known as Implant Retained\nDentures. This process combines dental implants with the use of dentures to\ngive patients a new set of natural looking and feeling teeth. Today we\u2019ll take\na look at implant retained dentures and their treatment process, as well as\nwhat potential benefits getting this treatment can have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"325\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bromleydentalpractice.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dental-implants-bromley.jpg\" alt=\"dental-implants-bromley\" class=\"wp-image-680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bromleydentalpractice.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dental-implants-bromley.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.bromleydentalpractice.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dental-implants-bromley-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.bromleydentalpractice.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dental-implants-bromley-200x134.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do end up deciding that you would like to\nhave implant retained dentures for yourself, then you may wish to consider\ncoming to the <strong>Bromley Dental Practice<\/strong>\nfor your treatment.

They are designed to look\nand feel just like regular teeth, and there are a number of both cosmetic and\nhealth reasons that getting this treatment can be advantageous. Cosmetically\nspeaking, implant retained dentures can be used to give you a great looking new\nsmile with a natural aesthetic, which many recipients of this treatment have\nfound to give them a boost in self-confidence. In terms of health benefits,\nimplant retained dentures are held firmly in place by dental implants, which allows\nyou to chew and break down food effectively. They are also able to distribute\nthe force exerted by chewing evenly across the jawbone which helps to make\nchewing easier and helps the jawbone to stay in place. Some people have also\nfound that having implant retained dentures helps them to have a clearer\npattern of speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Implant retained dentures treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The implant retained dentures treatment requires\na flap of gum to be lifted so that a socket can be inserted into the jawbone. A\ndental implant can then be fixed to the socket, and this stage of the treatment\nis then repeated to allow multiple dental implants to be fixed into the mouth\n(most often this will be two in the lower jaw and four in the upper jaw). What\ncomes next is a process known as osseointegration, where the mouth is given\ntime to heal &#8211; usually around three months &#8211; to allow the dental implants to\nproperly integrate with the jawbone. Once this integration is complete, the\nimplant retained dentures can be fixed on top of the dental implants which is\nusually done using a screw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout our lives, our teeth may undergo damage from accidents or things such as tooth decay which causes them to be severely damaged or perhaps even to become entirely missing.
