For tooth replacement, dental implants are often the best solution. Dublin 18 Dental Rooms offers a range of implant treatments which can be used to successfully replace one, some, or all of your natural teeth.
Choosing dental implants means more than just choosing to have a natural-looking smile. The implant treatments available at our Dublin clinic enable your dentist to restore much of the functionality of a jaw full of healthy teeth. This avoids many of the common woes experienced by those who wear traditional dentures, and means that you can eat whatever you want, speak with clarity and smile with confidence – and with no fear of your teeth escaping unbidden.
With dental implants, not only the crowns of any missing teeth are replaced; the roots are replaced, too. In fact, implants are in essence bionic tooth roots. Made from titanium, they are carefully placed in your jaw bone after painstaking treatment planning. We can carry out this procedure under local anaesthetic or sedation at our Dublin Dental Room, so you will experience no pain.
Replacing the tooth roots helps to preserve the integrity of the jaw bone, which is important in ensuring your new teeth stay in place. Titanium is osteoconductive, meaning that it supports bone growth, so bone tissue will grow up around your dental implants and will keep your teeth exactly where they should be.
After a healing period, your dentist can attach either single crowns, a bridge, or a set of dentures to the abutments on top of your dental implants. These will both look and act like natural teeth.
Dental implant treatment requires accurate diagnosis and intricate planning before your surgery. Your Dublin dentist will use x-rays and CT scans as necessary to help with diagnosis and to plan the placement of each implant accurately.
In cases where several teeth need to be replaced, you are unlikely to need as many dental implants as new teeth. A few carefully placed implants are usually able to support several or even a full arch of new teeth.
With dental implants, you can soon get back to enjoying life with no denture woes.
