Dental Implants Bexley, Crayford

Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile. They can make eating difficult, impact your speech, and affect your confidence.

Natural Looking Tooth Replacement Solution

At 2 Green Dental in Bexleyheath, we offer teeth implants as a reliable and long-term solution to restore the look and function of your smile. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, implants can help bring back comfort and confidence.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots. They are placed gently into the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture. Over time, the implant integrates with your natural bone through a process called Osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Unlike removable dentures, implants are fixed in place, so they look, feel, and function much like natural teeth. Many patients choose dental implants for their long-term benefits and natural appearance.

Benefits and Suitability

Dental implants can help if you:

• Have one or more missing teeth.
• Struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures.
• Want a fixed, secure tooth replacement option.
• Are you looking to improve your chewing and speaking ability?
• Prefer a natural-looking smile.

Most adults with healthy gums and sufficient bone are suitable for implants. If bone volume is limited, treatments like bone grafting can help. Your dentist at 2 Green Dental will assess your individual needs during a thorough consultation.

Dental implants are designed for comfort and are placed using modern techniques and local anaesthesia to keep the procedure as pain-free as possible.

The Dental Implant Treatment Process

Knowing what to expect can make treatment feel more comfortable. Here’s a typical step-by-step process:

1. Consultation and Assessment – We examine your mouth, take X-rays or scans, and discuss your options.
2. Implant Placement – The titanium implant is gently placed into the jawbone. Healing typically takes a few months while the implant bonds with the bone.
3. Restoration – Once healed, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached, completing your smile.
4. Review and Follow-Up – We check the fit and function to make sure everything feels natural and comfortable.

Aftercare & Next Steps

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups will help keep your implant healthy for many years. Some patients may experience mild swelling or discomfort after placement, which usually settles within a few days.

If you’re considering dental implants, the friendly team at 2 Green Dental is here to guide you through every step.

• Dental Bridges – Fixed replacement using adjacent teeth for support.
• Dentures – Removable options for replacing multiple teeth.
• Partial Dentures – A cost-effective option for some patients.

Your dentist will explain each alternative clearly so you can make an informed decision.
