At Deddington Dental we have dentists who are experienced in anti-wrinkle treatment. This includes Antiwrinkle injections and Dermal Fillers. These are a safe and cost effective ways to reduce the signs of ageing Facial expressions are controlled by the underlying facial muscles. Through over activity these facial expressions create wrinkles, which can over time get deeper and more visible even when your face is at rest. This can result in deep lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes. Individuals can start to appear more aged than they are. Our anti-wrinkle injections contain a muscle relaxant which has been used since the 1980’s to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and create a younger, smoother appearance to the skin. It works by blocking signals between nerves to the muscle, causing the muscle to contract less and thus temporarily paralysing the underlying muscle responsible for the wrinkles. This results in a smoother, younger appearance. A thorough consultation is carried out to assess your concerns and deem you suitable for treatment. Treatment time takes only 15-30 minutes. Results are evident from 3-14 days after treatment. A review is arranged 3 weeks after placement to assess the results and provide any top-ups if necessary. The effects are not permanent and on average last 3-6 months. Over time, patients tend to require less frequent treatment as the effects last longer.

Dental implants are an excellent option to replace missing teeth. They are a fixed option as opposed to dentures, which are removable. No drilling is required on adjacent teeth (like with bridges), thus preserving all of your own tooth structure.   A small painless surgical procedure is needed to place the implant into the jaw bone. The implant acts as a replacement of the missing tooth root and the abutment and crown restore the part of the tooth which is evident in the mouth.   In some cases implants can be placed as soon as the tooth is removed (known as immediate replacement) but most cases are carried out after a healing period of 3-6 months. If implants are looked after well they can last for the rest of your life. They are the closest thing to having your own tooth back. Dental implants are not suitable for all patients – a thorough implant assessment would be carried out and then suitability discussed. The Process Before implants are placed, the dentist will have assessed your mouth and discussed the best options with you. An x-ray or ConeBeam CT scan of the area will be taken to check for the important structures in the area. The implant placement is usually done under a local anaesthetic. The procedure itself is painless. The gum is peeled back and the implant is placed securely into the jaw bone. The gum is then placed back over the implant to allow it to heal and integrate. The implant is left for around 3 months to allow for healing and is reviewed in this time. A second smaller procedure is then undertaken to uncover the implant and shape the gum around it after which and impression of your mouth is taken so that the crown can be made in our hi-tech lab. Once made this can be cemented onto the implant to restore your smile.
