Dental Implants
Dental Implants in Welling (Bexley)
“We have trained with some of the world’s best Implant Dentists such as Hilt Tatum to offer you unparalleled missing teeth solutions”
Dental implants are small titanium screws used to replace missing teeth. They act as permanent replacements for natural roots of teeth. When a Dental Implant is placed, a natural looking Porcelain Crown is designed to fit securely over the Dental Implant.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants resemble and function like natural teeth. Ultimately, the patient should not notice a difference between real teeth and dental implants.
- Closest possible replacement to natural teeth
- Help stabilise surrounding teeth
- Can eliminate the pain caused by dentures
- Help preserve the jawbone
- Maintain the shape of the face, making one look years younger
Who Can Have Dental Implants?
If you are between the age of 18 – 90 and if you are missing one or more teeth, you wish to eat your favourite food, improve your facial features and self-esteem, then you are a candidate for dental implants.
How is the Dental Implant Placed?
The Dental implant is placed into the upper or lower jawbone either immediately after the loss of a tooth, or after a period of time. If there is insufficient jawbone, various bone grafting procedures can be performed prior to the implant placement. An abutment (or post) is screwed into the head of the dental implant which acts as a support base for the tooth crown.

Dental Implants at Karia Dental
Should a person not have natural teeth for many years (including denture wearers), the jawbone gradually resorbs (lessens) as it is not being strengthened by natural teeth.
So in time (Particularly in the softer upper jawbone) the jaw bone ‘ridge’ where teeth would normally be present, would get thinner. In effect it looks like the persons face has got shorter or collapses.
Dental implants are the closest thing to having your natural teeth back. At Karia Dental we have the technology to actually rebuild your jawbone which is required to securely hold the small titanium roots of the dental implant. So if you have had little or no teeth for many years and you thought there was no option for you, please speak with our dedicated dental implant team.
