Our smiles are really important, probably far more important than what we give them credit for. We can take for granted what lifting our rosy cheeks can do for our overall mental health and how huge a part it plays in us expressing our joy and happiness. It’s often when our smile is in some way compromised that all of a sudden we realise the impact of having one that we didn’t have to worry about meant to us.
Tooth loss
It doesn’t matter how old you are or where you come from, losing teeth is really tough. It impacts us inside and out. Us Brits often put on a brave face when we’re going through a tricky patch but when that tricky patch is something as prevalent as a missing tooth, it’s much harder to follow the ‘keep calm and carry on attitude’. Of course, all you want to do is run away and hide.
Anxiety, stress and bad body image are all very serious issues, ones that can really disrupt the equilibrium of your life and should be conversations you have with your doctor. Talking about how your tooth loss has made you feel can really help and is the beginning step to getting your confidence back on track. Often people feel shame around tooth loss as they blame themselves for poor dental hygiene but life is life and these things happen. It’s important to find a place for acceptance and to move forward making sure you get the support you deserve from those around you.
Dental implants
Dental implants in Bromley could very well be the solution you’ve been looking for. Unlike other forms of tooth replacement, they act as a brand new, fully functioning, permanent tooth replacement. Implants are attached directly to the bone using an anchor system. So there’s no need to worry about false teeth misplacing or falling out and there certainly isn’t the daily reminder of tooth loss when taking in and out dentures.
Dental Implants in Bromley will be specially moulded and coloured to match your natural teeth so friends and family won’t even be able to tell you’ve had them fitted. It will be just like having your tooth back.
If you think that dental implants sound like the solution you’ve been hoping for then you need to get in contact with your local dental implant dentist who will be able to check your teeth, gum and bone health. All this information will be needed to work out if you’re able to have dental implants successfully as there are lots of factors that need to be considered.
What if dental implants are not an option for me?
For some people implants are an option, but don’t worry there are lots of amazing tooth replacement options out there and they are advancing in technology all the time. Your dentist will be able to guide you on the right solution for you.
Everyone has the right to feel confident in their smile and that includes you, so put yourself first and look into dental implants now.
