At Amsel & Wilkins we understand the importance of not only having a smile that you love to show off but teeth that you can rely on when it comes to biting, chewing and speaking. Teeth can fall out for a variety of reasons, but dentures can fall out as well which is why we offer an alternate treatment that ensures your new teeth are not going to come loose, fall out or let you down when you need them the most. Our dentist in Banbury provides dental implant treatment, which is a way to replace your teeth securely in a way that leaves you with a completely natural-looking smile. If you have missing teeth and wish to replace them, or believe that it is time to upgrade from your dentures for peace of mind, then book an appointment to speak to one of our practitioners today. They will be able to explain the procedure to you in full and ensure that it is suitable for you as well as answering any questions that you may have.

A straightforward way to getting a natural-looking smile

Once you have made the decision to have dental implant treatment with our dentist in Banbury you will have multiple appointments arranged as your mouth will need time to heal in between. The first steps after your consultation appointment are to insert multiple titanium screws into your jawbone, so your new teeth will have something to support them. How many screws you need when replacing an entire set of teeth will depend on your individual circumstances. Some patients can replace a full set of teeth requiring only four implants, whilst others can need up to twelve. Once your gums have healed around the screws you will have your new teeth attached to them. These teeth are made to look and feel exactly like normal ones. It is likely that you will have a full set of dentures attached to your implants, but some patients can have multiple partial dentures attached if this is a more convenient option.

You do not have to have dentures to benefit from implants

A majority of people seem to assume that dental implants can only be used when all of their teeth are missing. This is not the case and whether you are missing just one tooth or multiple you can speak to our dentist in Banbury to discover what options are available to you when it comes to replacing your teeth with implants. Generally speaking if you are missing one tooth it is likely that you will only need one titanium screw inserted into your jawbone and one crown attached to this to complete your smile. In cases where you are missing multiple teeth it will depend on their positioning as to whether you will require multiple crowns or a bridge to restore your teeth. A bridge can be used when there are multiple teeth missing next to each other, or when there is a missing tooth either side of an original one. If you have multiple missing teeth then you will not necessarily need one screw for each missing tooth that you have to replace as the screws are capable of supporting more than one false tooth each.
