Dental implants are the only permanent way to replace your missing teeth. At Dublin 18 Dental Rooms, we think that in many cases, implants are the perfect tooth replacement solution. We welcome patients for implant consultations, whether you have lost one, some, or even all of your natural teeth.

There are many advantages to be gained from choosing dental implants. Unlike a traditional dental bridge, implant-retained bridges require no additional work on surrounding teeth, meaning those teeth stay strong. Implant-retained bridges can also support more teeth than their traditional counterparts; in some cases, just four dental implants can support a full jaw of new teeth in bridge form.

Dental implants are the only way to replace the tooth roots. Missing tooth roots is one of the major causes of bone loss and gum shrinkage, which is one of the main reasons traditional dentures have a tendency to become loose.

Loose dentures may affect your diet, speech, and confidence; dental implants alleviate these problems.

Placed in direct contact with your jaw bone in a minor operation, carried out under local anaesthetic or sedation at our Dublin Dental Room, dental implants don’t just replace the tooth roots, they also support bone growth because they are made from titanium. That means they will hold your teeth firmly in place, help to prevent bone loss, and give you back all the functionality and aesthetic appeal of a healthy jaw full of teeth.

When you come to our Dublin Dental Room for an implant consultation, your dentist will assess the current levels of bone density in your jaw using x-rays and scans as necessary. They will also check your general dental health, because implants should only be placed in a healthy mouth to maximise their chances of success.

Once your implants are in position, they will take a few months to fully integrate with your jaw bone. After this healing period, your Dublin dentist will attach your permanent new teeth, and you can enjoy many benefits including:

• No more loose dentures
• Ability to eat a healthy, varied diet
• Ability to speak clearly
• New-found smile confidence

The use of dental implants is an increasingly popular way for a dentist to replace missing teeth. At Dublin 18 Dental Rooms we can have used implants to successful restore both aesthetic appeal and function to the mouths of many patients who have lost one, some, or even all of their natural teeth. Read on to discover how you, too, could soon be reaping the benefits. .  .

Dublin dental implants: the advantages

Missing teeth should always be replaced, for the sake of your general as well as your dental health. For many years, traditional dentures and bridges were the only way a dentist could do this, but the past three decades have seen rapid advances in the field of, and increasing public demand for, dental implants. At our Dublin Room we think they are often the best solution.

A single missing tooth puts immediate strain on remaining teeth, and can ultimately increase your chances of losing more teeth, as remaining teeth often shift into gaps and become misaligned and harder to clean, increasing your chances of tooth decay and gum disease.

When most or all of the teeth are missing in one or both jaws, your diet will likely be severely restricted, making it hard to sustain good nutrition, which can have very serious consequences for your general health. With all the teeth missing, the jaw bone and gum tissue also tend to recede, which can cause problems with standard dentures, making them loose, painful, and impossible to use.

Traditional bridges often need crowns on adjacent teeth for support, which can result in the destruction of healthy tooth structure.

Dental implants are different. They are the only way your dentist can replace the roots of missing teeth, not only holding a bridge, denture, or crown securely in place, but also actively preventing bone loss. With regular follow-up appointments at our Dublin clinic, your implants could last for the rest of your life.

With dental implants, your dentist has a permanent way to replace your missing teeth. At Dublin 18 Dental we have treated many patients successfully with the help of implants. Thanks to their nature, implants can restore more than just your beautiful smile – they can also give you back the full functionality of a healthy jaw of teeth.

The benefits to be gained from dental implants

Dental implants have many benefits over standard bridges or dentures. At our Dublin clinic we are always keen to stress the importance of replacing any lost teeth one way or another, and sooner rather than later, or you run the risk of encountering further dental health problems.

Teeth comprise roots and crowns, and there is only one way to replace the tooth roots – dental implants. When the roots of the teeth are lost, the jaw bone begins to resorb or shrink back, which not only makes future implant placement more complicated (although by no means impossible), but also causes sagging of the skin around the face, which can make you look old before your time.

Made from titanium, dental implants are bionic tooth roots that your dentist places directly in your jaw bone. They mesh with the bone and provide a strong anchor for new teeth – dentures, a bridge, or crowns. Sometimes, for patients who require all the teeth replacing in one jaw, we can use a technique known as All-on-4 at our Dublin clinic.

All-on-4 involves the placement of four dental implants at precise angles so that they can support a full arch (jaw) of new teeth. Your new teeth will be attached immediately – you really can walk into our Dublin Dental Room with a jaw full of missing or failing teeth and walk out again later the same day with a brand new set of teeth.

Because they are surgically attached to your jaw bone, your new teeth will not encounter any of the problems associated with traditional dentures, such as slippage and difficulty in eating and/or speaking.

Dental implants are far all intents and purposes a second chance at healthy teeth. Book your consultation in Dublin today.

With dental implants, your dentist can do more than just replace your missing teeth. They can also give you back the full functionality of a healthy jaw, which has a positive impact on your oral and general health, not to mention your self-esteem, personal and professional interactions. At Dublin 18 Dental Rooms, we think that in many cases implants are the ultimate solution to tooth loss – a second chance, as it were, at a mouth full of teeth.

The many advantages of dental implants

There are numerous advantage of dental implants when compared with other tooth replacement options. Implants are the only permanent way for a dentist to replace your missing teeth – with good care they have a success rate upwards of 90%, and can last you for the rest of your life.

Dental implants are also the only way in which the roots of teeth can be replaced. Every tooth comprises a crown part and a root part, and standard bridges and dentures only replace the crowns. Whilst it’s true that these will provide adequate function for a time, traditional dentures have a nasty habit of becoming loose, unwieldy, and uncomfortable as time passes, whilst bridges usually need to be replaced, and require work on supporting teeth which can weaken them.

With dental implants, it’s a different story. They are best thought of as bionic tooth roots. Made from titanium, these small posts or screws are placed straight into your jaw bone in a small operation, carried out here at our Dublin Dental Room. Most patients only need local anaesthetic for this procedure, because implant placement is carefully planned in advance.

After the required healing period, which is usually between two and three months, you will be called back to our Dublin clinic so that your dentist can attach your permanent new teeth to the abutments on top of your implants.

At our Dublin Room we can replace one missing tooth with a single implant and a crown, several or even all of your natural teeth with the necessary number of dental implants and an implant-retained bridge or denture.

Dental implants are an excellent treatment option for patients who have suffered tooth loss. At Dublin 18 Dental Rooms, we have a skilled and experienced implant team who can help you restore both the aesthetic appearance of your smile and full functionality to your jaw with the help of implants.

The numerous advantages of dental implants

Implants have many advantages over traditional methods of replacing teeth – standard dentures or bridges. One of the most important things to remember is that dental implants are the only permanent solution to tooth loss. They are in effect bionic tooth roots, and with prudent aftercare and regular visits to our Dublin dental Room, they could last you the rest of your life.

Dental implants are also the only tooth replacement option that help to prevent bone loss, which is a very common side-effect of losing teeth and is commonly seen in patients who have worn standard dentures for a number of years. They do this because they are made from titanium, which is very compatible with the body, and because they are in direct contact with the jaw bone, stimulating bone growth.

Bone loss is a common reason that standard dentures become loose and difficult to live with over time, and it can also result in a prematurely aged appearance thanks to sagging of the facial skin.

With dental implants your new teeth will stay firmly in position and won’t come loose. This means that you can once again eat a full and balanced diet, and there is no danger of the embarrassment of your teeth falling out in public.

We place dental implants under local anaesthetic here at our Dublin dental clinic, and will usually leave them to heal for a few months before your permanent new teeth are attached.

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.
