What are dental implants?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants in Bromley<\/strong> are titanium posts that are placed in the jawbone, which mimic the\nroot of a natural tooth. They anchor a false tooth in the mouth with great\nlong-lasting success in the majority of cases, supporting natural looking\nprostheses for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are an important option for\nreplacing missing teeth, because they support the jaw structure, thus avoiding\nany changes in the facial shape or sunken looking jaws that will make you look\nolder than you are. They are not just there to fill the gap in a smile,\nalthough they work seamlessly for that purpose, they are created for overall\ndental health and longevity helping you continue with life unimpeded. With\nthese implants, you will be able to enjoy all the foods you desire and continue\nto take care of your oral health in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do they feel like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The surgery itself is performed under local\nanaesthetic ensuring that you go through the procedure with minimal to no\ndiscomfort, it is considered to be gentle, as no force is used as in the case\nwith tooth removal surgery where some force is necessary. Once the implant is\nin place, the gum will be closed to allow the healing process to take place,\nand once the swelling goes down after a few days it will feel completely\nnormal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is normal to feel a little tender after the\nanaesthetic wears off, and for a few days it is advised that you chew away from\nthe site of the new implant. In the case where a bridge is attached on the same\nday as the implant surgery, a diet of soft foods will be recommended for a\nshort while. A course of antibiotics and mouthwash will be prescribed to ensure\nthat infection does not occur and about two weeks after surgery you will visit\nyour dentist again for a post-operative check-up, to see how well you are\nhealing and to remove any stitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will take a few months for your bone to fuse\nto the implant, but in that time a temporary tooth, crown, or bridge will be\nfixed into place, so that you may go about your life with confidence while you\nwait for your body to heal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
