When you are looking for a dentist in Banbury, you may be looking for general dentistry care or something more specific like cosmetic dentistry, restorative treatments or facial aesthetics (yes, you heard us right!). Dentists are professionals in facial anatomy and can perform delicate work in sterile conditions, so we’re well placed to deliver this!

At Amsel & Wilkins, we love helping our patients to have fresh faces and healthy smiles. If you have missing teeth, we can offer a treatment that allows you to have replacement teeth fitted permanently and securely. Dental implants are arguably the next best thing to having your real teeth.

What are dental implants?

Imagine your natural teeth being held securely in your jawbone by its roots; dental implants are an artificial version of this. We use metal screws and attach them to the jawbone. The body’s tissues fuse with the screws and do so effectively because titanium lends itself well to this purpose. Once the tissues have healed around the screws, they are firmly fixed in place and you can have your replacement teeth of crowns, bridges or dentures fitted by our dentist in Banbury, depending on how many teeth you need to replace. A crown is normally used for a single tooth replacement, a bridge is used to replace several teeth, and dentures are used to replace a whole set of teeth.

The benefits of dental implants?

Dental implants do not require major surgery; you can have this treatment with a local anaesthetic. You should feel very comfortable during the procedure as any pain will be managed with the local anaesthetic that we use. Do not worry if you are a nervous patient since we are very experienced in treating those who are anxious, and we will take everything at your pace. We can discuss this more if dental implants are the right treatment for you.

Another benefit of choosing implants is the fact that no matter what you choose to eat or how much you love a good natter with friends, family, or Hilda next door, your dental implants shouldn’t loosen, keeping your replacement teeth firmly in place. As a result, nobody should realise that you don’t have a full set of natural teeth, especially because your replacement teeth will be made to complement each other as well as any remaining natural teeth that you have. You will also be able to eat as normal, and nothing needs to be taken off the menu. Bring on the chewy toffee pudding after the steak well done!

Dental implants are also really easy to take care of; all you need to do is brush and floss regularly and visit us for your routine dental checkups. If you do this, your implants could last you a lifetime!
