What is the process for all-on-4 dental implants in Bromley?

Consultation and assessment

At our first meeting, we will discuss your oral and general medical history. We will also inspect your mouth, teeth and gums. We will also take x-rays and a CT scan to understand the quality of the bone in your jaw. We will talk about the benefits and process for all-on-4 dental implants, and you can ask us any questions at this time.

All-on-4 dental implant surgery

At the dental practice in Bromley, we will firstly give you a local anaesthetic so that your mouth is numb.

Next, we will gently extract any teeth that you have which are decayed or are in bad condition.

The four dental implants are then placed in either your upper or lower jaw.  Once this is complete, we will fix the abutment to your dental implants and then fix the temporary set of teeth to the top, so that you can leave the dental surgery in Bromley with a new smile.

Once the anaesthetic has worn off, you may find that your mouth and gums are sore. This is natural and can be managed with paracetamol.

Fitting of your custom-made teeth

A period of between three and six months is needed to leave your gums to heal and for the four dental implants to fuse to the jawbone. This part of the process is essential to the success of your dental implants. We monitor your progress over several appointments with our dental implantologist in Bromley.

After the healing period is complete, we then invite you back to the dental practice in Bromley to fit your custom-made new teeth which attach to the abutments. These will look completely natural and are colour-matched to any remaining teeth that you have.

This is the final stage in the all-on-4 dental implant process, you will need to maintain and care for your new teeth by brushing thoroughly twice a day and flossing once a day. You should visit your dentist and hygienist at least once a year. All of this helps to ensure the longevity of your dental implants.
