What are Dental Implants?

Implants are the ultimate long term solution for missing teeth. A tooth implant will help to restore confidence and a quality of life to anyone who loses a tooth,  missing teeth or dentures.

We understand that when a missing tooth or missing teeth are lost through trauma or accident that the void this leaves is far reaching and will often make a real dent in your self-confidence too. At Welling Corner Dental Practice, in Kent we have successfully placed over 500 implants and we have seen the positive effect this treatment has had on people's lives as it allows them to chew and smile with confidence again; confident in the knowledge that your teeth not only look good but will stay put!

Simply, a dental implant is a titanium post which is placed into the jaw where one or more of your natural teeth are missing and a permanent adhesion is formed between the titanium and the living bone tissue. Often the implant is more securely fixed than your own teeth! In the meantime a custom made crown is made which will look and feel like a normal tooth and will be fitted to the implant to restore function and esthetics, allowing you the freedom to eat, speak and chew without pain or embarrassment.

At Welling Corner Dental Practice our implant clients agree that this is the ultimate solution for missing teeth or dentures as it has unquestionably restored their confidence and given them back a freedom they thought had gone for ever.

Implants:

• Implants look and feel like your natural teeth
• Dental Implants are the closest possible replacement to natural teeth
• Will eliminate the need to cut down healthy teeth to fit a bridge
• Implants provide permanent support for your teeth
• Restore function and esthetics to your mouth
• Dental implants restore your confidence
• Can eliminate the pain from an ill-fitting denture
• Dental implants can prevent further shrinkage of the jaw bone ridge
