A solution for your missing teeth Dental implants in Bromley

Are you embarrassed by a gap in your teeth?

Throughout our lives, we may develop gaps in our smile due to injury, illness or just bad luck. This can cause a huge knock to a person’s confidence, causing them to smile less and feel ashamed about how they look.

Cosmetic Dentist in Bromley Even if you already have full or partial dentures, you may feel as though you need something more secure and longer lasting.

At our dental surgery, we are able to offer you the specialist help of a cosmetic dentist in Bromley. Our cosmetic dentists will be able to assess your situation and provide you with a suitable treatment solution, to fill in those gaps and boost your confidence.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are composed of two parts, small, metal screws placed into the jawline and the porcelain teeth or ‘implants’ screwed on top. These teeth can be comprised of full sets of dentures, bridges or single teeth.

Implants provide a clinically safe way to giving you a great smile whilst also allowing you to be able to bite and chew food with ease. Unlike dentures, you won’t have to worry about them falling out when you are biting into tough food!

Does it hurt?

One of the most common questions we get when a patient has chosen implants is ‘will it hurt?’ Many people who have had dental implants fitted have stated that having teeth removed or losing a filling is actually more painful.

During the actually fitting procedure, you will not feel any pain, our team of cosmetic dentists in Bromley will give you a powerful anaesthetic. After the process is complete, you may feel something akin to a dull ache, but this is minimal.

Want a sparkling Hollywood smile? Cosmetic dentistry in Bromley can help

Open any magazine or newspaper today and you will be bombarded with images of people with ice white, ruler straight smiles. It should come as no surprise that the media image of the perfect smile has caused people to feel self-conscious about their own smiles.

Feeling unconfident when smiling can cause people to withdraw from social interactions and this can have a huge impact on their overall well-being.

What is cosmetic dentistry?

We have all heard of a scale and polish or teeth whitening, these are some of the more well known and popular forms of cosmetic work that people have completed on their teeth.

There are more options available to help you get that gleaming, red-carpet-ready smile and our cosmetic dentists in Bromley can help you obtain whatever look you desire.

Porcelain veneers

Used if your teeth are stained or chipped, porcelain veneers don’t require a major procedure and will be colour matched to the surrounding teeth. If you have any small gaps, veneers can also be used to close them, giving your teeth a more even look, really boosting your smile.

White fillings

If you need a filling but want to go in a more aesthetically pleasing direction, or if it is on one of your front teeth, white fillings are a great way to solve both problems as they, like veneers, are colour matched to the surrounding teeth.

Teeth whitening

As the name suggests, teeth whitening is used to whiten your teeth by either a few shades or multiple shades.

Our cosmetic dentists in Bromley will be able to advise you on which type of whitening may be best for you, depending on your budget, the current shade of your teeth, and the final shade you wish to achieve.

We can offer you a range of different options. One of these is power whitening, when your teeth are whitened at our surgery with a specialised gel and lamp to activate the bleaching process. Alternatively, we are also able to offer, as a separate or combined service with the power whitening, a treatment called home whitening.

With this option, we custom make a lightweight plastic tray and provide you with a whitening gel to place into the tray. We usually advise you to wear this tray at night or a few hours each day to obtain the best effect. When using home whitening, you will see a noticeable difference in 2 weeks, whereas with the power whitening the results are visible straight away.

Invisible braces

As the name suggests, these braces have been designed over decades to not only have a minimal appearance, but also to gently alter your teeth into a new position gradually. This is an effective long-term option to not only straighten your teeth, but also to correct your bite alignment.

Whatever you want to gain from having a cosmetic dental procedure, we are confident that cosmetic dentists in Bromley will be able to help.

Cosmetic wonders

Some of the most widely popular procedures here at Bromley Dental are cosmetic dental procedures. We offer a full range of cosmetic procedures and methodologies, and understand the bright and wholesome smile can be essential to living a happy and fulfilling life. At your cosmetic dentist in Bromley we also understand that in some cases the reverse can be true – and that having a smile that is crooked, or teeth that are discoloured or neglected – can have a detrimental effect on a patient’s overall wellbeing and self-confidence. As such, there is a large demand for our various cosmetic procedures, which deal with superficial problems with a patient’s teeth. We offer a range of cosmetic treatments, including tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental implants in Bromley as well as white fillings and invisible braces. Cosmetic treatments of this nature can be massively beneficial in restoring not only a patient’s smile, but also their self-esteem.

Shining front

Tooth whitening is a procedure whereby superficial stains and signs of neglect on a patient’s teeth – such as stains from smoking, drinking coffee or red wine, or just general disrepair – are power cleaned off chemically using specialist equipment. We also offer a range of home whitening kits which can be undertaken from the comfort of a patient’s home. Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic procedure whereby the visible tooth surface is covered with a thin shell of porcelain, and fused to the teeth using a very strong bounding material. This can help brighten a patient’s teeth, as well as fill any gaps within their teeth, making their teeth appear more together and cohesive. Dental implants in Bromley are another cosmetic procedure we offer here, which is only generally used in instances where teeth have been lost or damaged. The dental implant procedure consists of surgically inserting a screw into the space where a patient has a lost or damaged tooth, and then inserting a replica porcelain prosthetic in its place. White fillings are another cosmetic treatment on offer here at Bromley, and are similar to conventional fillings, however the white filling process consists of filling any gaps within a patient’s teeth with a white filling material that is colour matched to the surrounding teeth, and as such undetectable from the outside.

Discreet orthodontics

Invisible braces are another cosmetic procedure on offer here. These are a discreet method of orthodontic alignment that is similar to conventional fused ‘train-track’ braces. The difference being that Invisible braces are constructed using a see through, sometimes removable plastic and as such do not visibly alter the appearance of the patient – unlike ‘train-tracks’. Treatment of this sort can be vastly beneficial for patients especially younger ones – as it allows them the ability to undergo essential dental realignment, without attracting any unwanted attention or scrutiny from colleagues or peers.

Making Bromley Smile

Bromley Dental Practice are an independent dental practitioners operating out of Bromley in the south-east of London, established by Dr Zaki Bashir, a University of Bristol graduate. It is their goal to provide a tailored dental service that caters to the individual needs of each of their patrons. At Bromley Dental Practice, it is their belief that they are a different breed of dentists in that they focus entirely on the needs and requirements of each of their patients, rather than adopting the one-size-fits-all approach that is favoured by too many dental practices across the country. Their highly trained team of professional, yet approachable, dental practitioners are there to provide a bespoke dental experience to all patrons – from whatever stage of life they may be.

Cosmetic wonders

Some of the most popular procedures at Bromley Dental Practice are the various cosmetic dentistry treatments on offer. They believe that a good and hearty smile is essential to a renewed sense of self-esteem and self-confidence, and through the implementation of some of their various cosmetic dental procedures, find that they have helped achieve exactly that. Teeth whitening is one such service offered at Bromley Dental Practice, which can be extremely beneficial in restoring the smile to the faces of their patients. The process of teeth whitening consists of power-whitening the patient’s teeth at the dental practice through the implementation of specialist whitening equipment and methodologies. Also offered are a wide array of home-teeth-whitening kits which can be used at the patient’s convenience.

Invisible braces

Another service offered at Bromley Dental Practice is the installation of invisible braces, which are a cosmetic alternative to conventional, fused ‘train-track’ braces. These differ from conventional braces in that they are fused using transparent plastic alloy braces rather than metal brackets and as such they are almost impossible to see when worn. Another cosmetic dental procedure which is offered at Bromley Dental Practice is the enhancing white tooth filling. Fillings of this sort are similar to convention fillings, only they are made of a white polymer that is virtually indistinguishable from the enamel of the surrounding teeth, meaning patients can say goodbye to the ugly black fillings of yesteryear.

Filling in the gaps

Another dental procedure available at Bromley Dental Practice is the installation of dental implants in Bromley. Typically, dental implants are only used in cases where the patient’s teeth have been lost or damaged beyond repair. The process of installing dental implants in Bromley begins initially with a small hole being made in the patient’s gum – in the gap where the tooth ought to be. Within this hole, a small titanium screw is inserted, and the mouth is left to heal. During this healing period the bone and titanium fuse together. Next, a replica tooth is constructed from porcelain and is screwed in place. Thus, the gap is bridged with a replica, lifelike replacement tooth and the patient’s smile is restored. Treatment of this type can vastly boost a patient’s self-esteem and confidence, giving them back the smile they once had.

Bringing smiles to Bromley

At Bromley Dental Practice we pride ourselves on our patient-first approach to dentistry. We believe that the individual needs and requirements of each patient should precede all else, and we form long standing relationships with our clientele that are based on trust, understanding and respect. Opened by Dr Zaki Bashir, a graduate of the University of Bristol and a cosmetic dentist in Bromley, the firm has continued to grow and evolve over the years and today we are proud to say that we have helped restore the smiles of countless happy patients, and we are not showing signs of stopping.

Allowing smiles to flourish

One of the things which makes the Bromley Dental Practice highly popular is the wide range of cosmetic dentist procedures and methodologies we offer. We understand that a wholesome and bright smile has a massive effect on a person’s confidence and self-esteem, and that contrastingly, having teeth that are stained, discoloured or damaged can have a detrimental impact on a patient’s social life and self-esteem. As such, there is a large demand for cosmetic dental procedures that target superficial dental issues and boost the overall attractiveness of a patient’s teeth.

Cosmetic treatments

There are numerous cosmetic procedures on offer here in Bromley, including teeth whitening, white fillings, invisible braces, porcelain veneers, dental implants and CEREC. Treatments of this nature can have a massive effect on improving the overall wellbeing of our patients and on restoring their smiles to their fullest potential. Teeth whitening consists of power-cleaning a patient’s teeth with specialist equipment, and we also offer a range of home-whitening kits that can be used at a patient’s leisure. White fillings are another cosmetic procedure we can offer and consists of filling any cavities in the teeth with a white polymer which matches the shade of surrounding teeth – and thus is almost impossible to detect. Invisible braces can be provided by the cosmetic dentist in Bromley procedure available at the practice. These are an orthodontic alignment procedure similar to conventional ‘train-track’ fused braces, only they are constructed from a transparent, sometimes removable plastic so they are virtually undetectable from the outside – thus allowing patients to undergo dental alignment without attracting any unwanted scrutiny. Porcelain veneers are a cosmetic dental procedure in which the visible tooth surface is covered with a thin shell of porcelain that it attached to the front of the tooth with extremely strong bonding material.

Bridging the gaps

Another dental procedure which is available at Bromley Dental Practice is the installation of dental implants. Implants are only generally used in instances where teeth have been lost or damaged beyond repair and can be massively effective in bringing back a patient’s self-esteem and confidence. The process of installing dental implants consists of a small hole initially being drilled into the space or spaces in the patient’s mouth where teeth are missing, and a titanium screw being inserted. Then, after a brief healing period during which time the titanium fuses with the bone in the patient’s jaw – a replica tooth (or teeth) created from porcelain is permanently attached to the screw, and thus the gap is bridged and the patient’s smile is restored.

Don’t be worried, we’ve made it simple

If you’re about to have dental implant surgery or are trying to make the decision whether to have dental implants in Bromley, you may be concerned about the procedure. Receiving dental implants, like any major change in our lives, takes some commitment. In Bromley, dental implants are worth the time, effort and expense because of the improvement to quality of life.

Dental Implants in Bromley Implants don’t just improve the way you look, they also fully restore your complete tooth, from root to crown. This provides three life enhancing improvements.

Jawbone stabilisation

Once the implant has fully integrated into your jawbone, the jawbone becomes stable. The implant actively encourages natural growth, which ensures the long-term health of your jaw and prevents any further tooth loss.

Lifestyle enhancements

Since bite force is fully restored, you’ll be able to eat and drink anything you like. In addition, dental prosthetics won’t need to be removed for cleaning. You just need to brush and floss as normal to maintain the implant.

Longevity of treatment

The implant is inert in situ, meaning it will not break down or cause irritation to the soft tissue in your mouth. As long as you take care of the implant and prosthetic, your implants can last for many years to come. Although it may seem an expensive restorative process, when you consider that they are a permanent solution, dental implants in Bromley become highly economical.

The actual process

At Bromley Dental Practice, we ensure you are taken care of from start to finish to ensure you feel informed, supported and relaxed when receiving your dental implants. The very first stage is talking you through every stage and ensuring this is the correct procedure for you.

Once you’re happy to go ahead, we will carry out any preliminary treatments that you may need to ensure optimum health of your jawbone. The surgery is quick and safe, and carried out under local anaesthetic. When the implant is in place, we will then advise you on how to take care of yourself while it settles. We’ll check on you with regular appointments until integration has successfully completed. The final stage is placing your permanent dental prosthetics onto the implant, fully restoring your teeth like new.

Better dental visuals

The visual appeal of your teeth is an important part of your overall appearance. Going to the cosmetic dentist in Bromley helps you to maintain and improve the visible parts of your teeth in many different ways. Here at Bromley Dental Practice, our large selection of treatments means you can easily customise your teeth so they look and feel better. As an experienced cosmetic dentist in Bromley, we can discuss your hopes with you discreetly. Then we can give you a heads-up on the latest industry research, so you can make an informed decision about your work.

Selecting your future

People visit the cosmetic dentist in Bromley to address those nagging aesthetic issues that can prevent them from wanting to show off their smile. Even small things can have a disproportionately large effect. Chipped teeth are a common unwanted feature that our patients seek to correct. We can do this using veneers. The dental veneer is a finely-shaped piece of porcelain which we place over your tooth’s front surface, using a powerful adhesive. Your chipped tooth’s appearance is transformed with a balanced, natural presentation.

Long-lasting changes

The work of a cosmetic dentist in Bromley often involves repositioning teeth. If you tend to hide your smile because some of your teeth are wonky or your bite is misaligned, we can help. Our contemporary aligners use transparent materials, so they won’t draw too much intrusive attention to your mouth while your treatment is ongoing. We know that the thought of having to wear a highly visible repositioning appliance can put people off making the changes that would improve their dental alignment. At Bromley Dental Practice, your realignment treatment is customised, comfortable and discreet.

Teeth whitening is another popular treatment available at the cosmetic dentist in Bromley. This transformative process will turn your teeth a bright shade of white. You can even select your preferred level of brightness before your treatment starts. Saying goodbye to the unsightly stains that have built up on your teeth over many years can be a powerfully positive feeling. This treatment can be delivered in a single visit to our practice, or more gradually over a couple of weeks in the comfort of your home.

New dental abilities

Having dental implants in Bromley will bring a long-lasting transformation to your dental abilities and appearance. The stability of your replacement teeth will rival that of your natural ones, so you can use them without worry. You won’t have to choose soft foods for fear of dislodging your substitute teeth at the dining table. Your implants integrate with your jawbone, so you can bite into and chew those foods you’ve always enjoyed.

Customised improvements

Here at Bromley Dental Practice, we’ve been providing customised dental implants in Bromley to our patients for many years. We can use this procedure for any number of missing teeth. Some of our patients require just a single replacement, whereas others want a whole set. Whatever your particular dental situation, we’ll provide an effective dental replacement that looks great and performs well.

Advances in dental technology mean that temporary replacements, such as dentures and bridges, often look like natural teeth and have a certain amount of user-friendliness. However, only dental implants can give you an integrated solution that doesn’t require any awkward clips or messy adhesives. Once we’ve placed your dental implants in Bromley, they remain where they are. You look after them in the same way you care for your natural teeth.

Who benefits from dental implants in Bromley?

The first thing we need to do is to make an assessment of your current dental health. Our friendly team will help you to feel at ease while they take the necessary measurements of your teeth. You’ll need to have a sufficiently dense jawbone before we can proceed, so we might have to book you in for some preparatory work before we start the implant procedure.

Then, the dentist will place one or more small metal posts into your jawbone. After a rest period, you’ll return to our practice to have your dental implants in Bromley completed, when the dentist securely attaches your custom-made teeth to the posts. You can start to enjoy the benefits of fully-functioning teeth, and these benefits will last for decades as long as you properly care for your dental implants in Bromley.

Visiting a cosmetic dentist in Bromley

Are you unhappy with the way your teeth look when you smile? Healthy and beautiful teeth play an important role in boosting a person’s confidence, but unfortunately, not many people are born with them. On the other hand, just because you take good care of your teeth and gums, doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. A cosmetic dentist can help you achieve your dental goals quicker and upgrade your quality of life.

At Bromley Dental Practice, we understand the need for a beautiful smile, therefore we offer a wide range of cosmetic dental treatments to suit every budget. Whether you wish to straighten, brighten or change the shape of your teeth and gums, our cosmetic dentist in Bromley will help you choose the right treatment (or treatments) by examining your teeth carefully.

Teeth whitening

Yellow and discoloured teeth can be caused by ageing, smoking, excessive consumption of caffeine and less than optimal oral habits among other things. When performed by our cosmetic dentist in Bromley dentist, teeth whitening, is quite safe and effective. This is because we customise each treatment and administer a higher concentration of whitening solution than over-the-counter products, thus providing more significant results. At Bromley Dental Practice, we offer both in-practice and at-home teeth whitening treatments for brighter and more impressive teeth.

Dental veneers

Dental veneers are a simple and popular cosmetic treatment, which allows your Bromley cosmetic dentist to transform your smile. Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or other composite materials, which are adhered to the front of the teeth, enabling your cosmetic dentist to close gaps, repair chips and cracks and straighten your smile. Porcelain veneers are stain resistant and more durable than their composite counterparts.

White fillings

White or composite fillings provide good durability and resistance to teeth that need to withstand moderate pressure. At our practice, we use tooth-coloured fillings to repair decayed tooth enamel and protect your teeth from further damage.

Strong teeth

Choosing dental implants in Bromley gives you a long-lasting solution to the difficulties caused by missing teeth. Here at Bromley Dental Practice, we’ve been using dental implants to solve a wide variety of tooth loss issues for many years. Our patients benefit from Bromley dental implants in several ways. One of the biggest advantages provided by this treatment is their stability. Once they’re placed, your new teeth do not need to be removed. They don’t add any extra hassle to your oral hygiene routine, so you can continue to live your life as normal.

Why have dental implants in Bromley?

Losing teeth can be a real nuisance. Not only do missing teeth cause gaps in the smile, but they can make eating an awkward experience. Contemporary dentures and bridges are precisely customised and use ingenious methods to simulate the appearance and function of a natural tooth. However, only Bromley dental implants will integrate with your jawbone, to give you stable and powerful substitute teeth that don’t require any clips or adhesives.

If you think implant dentistry is a suitable way forward, you can come to our friendly dental practice for a consultation. We’ll make sure your mouth is in a healthy condition, and that your jawbone is dense enough to receive the implants. We might need to do some preparatory treatments to make sure you’re ready.

Then our dentist will place the implants into your jawbone. The implants themselves are small metal posts, resembling tiny screws. Following a brief spell of rest, you’ll come back to us to have your new teeth firmly affixed to the posts.

Personal progress

Your Bromley dental implants are custom-shaped so that they fit in alongside your remaining teeth. Because they remain in your mouth, they’re as easy to clean as your natural teeth. The advantages don’t end there, though. Bromley dental implants will help you to maintain your facial bone structure. You won’t suffer the sunken appearance that often develops after long-term tooth loss. As long as you maintain them properly, your new teeth will last for decades. You can enjoy the freedom that comes with a fully-functioning set of teeth.
