If you’ve noticed that you’ve started developing fine lines and wrinkles on your face, it can feel a bit difficult to come to terms with the idea of ageing and this reflecting in your skin’s appearance, especially when you don’t feel any older in your mind. Here at Amsel & Wilkins, we can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to slow the signs of ageing using one of our facial aesthetic treatments. While it may sound somewhat wacky to think that our dentist could offer facial aesthetic treatments, it is not as cuckoo as you might imagine. Our dentist in Banbury is a skilled professional when it comes to facial anatomy, having been trained for years and understanding the implications of injecting tiny facial muscles. What’s more, the environment of the dental practice also makes it very safe and minimises the risk of infection.

What we offer

Our dentist in Banbury can offer you dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle injections to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. Both treatments involve injections and only take a few minutes to administer. However, there are distinct differences between the treatments that you must consider before deciding which treatment is right for you.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers contain an injectable solution called hyaluronic gels, which is an FDA-approved substance that mimics the body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is produced by the body to give the skin its elasticity, and this production diminishes as we age. By using hyaluronic acid gels that are made from non-animal sources, we can plump up the fine lines and wrinkles and make the skin look smoother and more youthful. The results of dermal fillers can be seen instantly and should last for around 6 to 12 months. Dermal fillers can also be used as lip fillers to make your pout more pout-able! You can also use dermal fillers to contour your face, neck and hands. Having dermal fillers should be a completely comfortable process as we will use local anaesthesia to ensure that the area being treated is numbed.

Anti-wrinkle injections

Like dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections are also made from non-animal sources and are FDA-approved. Anti-wrinkle injections take just a few minutes to administer and contain botulinum toxin type A, which is an injectable solution that is regarded as highly safe, and the results may be seen in around 4 to 7 days after treatment or even up to 2 weeks. The treatment should be very comfortable and no downtime should be required afterwards, so you will be free to continue with your day as usual. This is also the same for dermal fillers.

At Amsel & Wilkins, we know that our patients don’t want to be referred elsewhere for more specialised treatments; they want to stay right here with us, where they feel safe and secure and have chosen to be! This is why we offer an extensive range of dental treatments to suit all of your needs, including general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, restorative treatments, and orthodontic care. We even offer facial aesthetic treatments to ensure that your overall look is amazing. So, if you’re looking for a dentist in Banbury to take care of you unconditionally, then you need to come to see us at Amsel & Wilkins. One of our popular dental treatments is Invisalign, which is used to correct mild to moderate alignment problems, such as crossbites, gapped or crowded teeth, and overbites or underbites.

How Invisalign works

If you can imagine a gumshield, then think of Invisalign as clear plastic aligners that can be worn over your teeth in the same way. However, the aligners are more streamlined, as they can be custom-made for your mouth. The amazing thing is that the aligners should be almost invisible as your teeth should be the only thing visible through the transparent plastic. At Amsel & Wilkins, we use an iTero digital scan to get the measurements for your aligners to be made in the Invisalign laboratory because your aligners will have to provide excellent care, where precision will deliver the best results. When you wear your aligners, they will press against your teeth to push them into the desired positions; this movement will occur in around 6 to 18 months. You will need to switch between the aligners our dentist in Banbury provides you for six weeks before coming in for checkups; it’s as easy as that!

Why you want it

If you’re unsure whether this is the right treatment for you, it’s certainly worth considering the benefits of choosing Invisalign. By opting for this treatment, you will be able to wear the aligners and continue with your life. You won’t have to wear the aligners during mealtimes, so you can eat easily, without having to avoid hard foods, for example, that could damage them. You will also be able to take them out before brushing your teeth so that you can maintain excellent oral hygiene standards, reducing the chances of any oral health issues as a result of having to wear an appliance. You will also be able to have other benefits, such as being able to clean your teeth better once your teeth are aligned, as they will be in the optimum position for doing so. You could also find that your ability to chew tough foods improves and that any jaw pain you have reduces. Furthermore, realigning your teeth could even improve your speech, so it’s not all just about getting that beautiful Hollywood smile!

Is this for me?

To discover whether or not this is the right treatment for you, all you need to do is visit our dentist in Banbury for a consultation; we will examine your mouth, chat with you about your goals for your smile and then can present you with viable treatment options. You can ask as many questions as you like in order to fully understand what is involved in the treatments suggested. If you decide to go ahead with Invisalign, we can get you a great smile within just a few months at Amsel & Wilkins, and you can feel comfortable getting your treatment without having to go anywhere else for it.
