Dental implants are an excellent option in cases where patients have one or more missing teeth. At Dublin 18 our skilled team of implantologists have successfully restored both aesthetic beauty and full functionality to the mouths of many patients with the help of implants. So, if you have lost one, some, or even all of your natural teeth, suffer no longer – read on to discover how dental implants can help you get your smile back, and so much more besides.

Who are dental implants for?

In 2016, dental implants are suitable for more patients than ever before. At our Dublin dental Room we use the latest 3D scanning technology in the diagnosis and planning of implant treatment, ensuring that your implants will be precisely positioned to avoid any nerves, and also to be able to withstand the forces generated in your mouth when you bite and chew food.

The placement of dental implants involves minor oral surgery, carried out here at our Dublin dental Room by our experienced implant dentist. When you require more than one implant, to replace several or all your teeth with an implant-retained denture or bridge, they will all be placed at the same time.

In most cases only local anaesthetic is required for this procedure, so you won’t experience any pain. Some people experience mild swelling and discomfort post-procedure; this can be managed with over-the-counter painkillers and should subside in a couple of days.

After your dental implants have had time to mesh with your bone – which requires a healing period of a few months – your permanent new teeth are affixed to abutments on the top of your implants. Once in position, those new teeth will serve you well if you look after them, looking and acting very much like natural teeth.
