News from Banning Dental Group

When you go to a restaurant, salon, hotel or spa there is an expectation that you will have a pleasurable, enjoyable even delightful experience. Is your perception of visiting the dentist the same? It’s a shame to say, but when you come to making an appointment with a dentist in London you probably already have a sense of trepidation. You can think of 100 other things you would rather be doing with your time than pulling teeth. At Banning Dental Group clinics, we have considered every element of our customer journey to change the way that our clients feel about their dental appointments.
You have a missing tooth, now what? You may feel embarrassed, have difficulty chewing, food is getting stuck in the gaps, some words are difficult to pronounce, and you’re noticing your face shape is changing. What can you do? How much will it cost? There are many more questions when it comes to missing teeth. Today we hope to answer the most common ones… There are numerous options to replace one or more missing teeth, depending on your budget and personal choice as well as understanding which route is most suitable for your particular case.
Since the prolific rise in popularity of clear, discreet teeth straightening methods, you may be surprised to learn that metal braces still serve an important role in orthodontic treatments. Whilst metal braces might be considered as the prehistoric mode of correcting crooked teeth, they are in fact far from extinct. It might seem like everyone wants Invisalign these days. These new ‘invisible’ methods of teeth straightening have become increasingly popular, especially amongst adult patients but in some cases the costs are prohibitive. In other cases of more complex treatment plans the best tools for the job are still those that have served us well for decades.
Have you ever chipped a tooth and been so embarrassed that your hand became a permanent fixture over your mouth? Or maybe you decided you were never leaving the house again! You probably groaned at the thought of having it veneered or having an expensive implant or crown fitted. Thanks to a fairly new and modern approach, there is another, more affordable option…
As dentists, we care massively about the health of your teeth and gums, it’s our responsibility to do so. What you may not realise is that we are obsessed with creating happy smiles for our patients for many other reasons. Having healthy-looking teeth and being free from pain and discomfort is sure to encourage a smiling face. The side effects of this smile are accompanied by a whole other level of priceless benefits.

Anyone with any experience with dentures may well be haunted with visions of teeth soaking overnight in a glass on the bedside table, or a slight slip of the mouth resulting in a set of falsies hurtling across the room. Comedic anecdotes such as these were commonplace up until the end of the 20th century since those who had suffered severe tooth loss would most likely have been fitted with false teeth. Fast forward to the 21st century and dentures aren’t as prolific as they once were. Those growing up in the ’70s and ’80s will have clear memories of their grandparents grappling with their out-of-control chompers. By comparison, Millenials and Gen Z are probably oblivious to the existence of removable teeth.
With over 20 dentists in Chiswick and the surrounding area, it’s hard to know who to trust with the health of your teeth. Choosing a dentist that is right for you is not a decision to be taken lightly. Not only do our teeth form a defining part of our facial characteristics, if not treated by experienced clinicians you can find yourself needing lengthy and costly corrections. Dentistry is a broad and complex field with a wide range of specialist branches sitting under one umbrella. Each dentist will have their own area of expertise based on the training and experience they have gained during their career. However as patients, during our lifetime we are likely to need the experience of a range of disciplines as the needs of our oral care change with age.
Without wishing to add further worry or complications to the ever-increasing list of tasks of things to ‘sort out’ post-lockdown, we must mention your oral health. Despite occupying the forefront of our face, our teeth often slip to the back of our minds. Why is it that there is always something more important, fun or urgent to do than ensuring our teeth are healthy? Did you know that Oral Health problems cost the UK economy £105 million each year in sick days! More often than not, it’s only when our once healthy teeth start to cause a problem that we respond in emergency mode. This reactive, rather than proactive approach is much like waiting for your car’s engine to pack up rather than getting it regularly serviced. Of course, a mechanic will get it running again, but it’s going to take longer and cost more.
