It has been over seven decades since dental implants were first invented and the procedure has been constantly improved over that time. In today’s dental practises throughout the world this procedure is the industry standard treatment for replacing a missing tooth. We are proud that our expertly trained team is able to offer this procedure among our other numerous treatments.

In what circumstances do you need a dental implant

There are usually two reasons, one is functionality and the other is aesthetics. You may have a tooth or teeth missing due to an accident. You may have been suffering for some time with tooth decay or gum disease. You may feel that because of a missing front tooth you are too embarrassed to smile broadly, often hiding your mouth with your hand. Patients present themselves at our surgery for a number of reasons and using our expertise we will advise them as to the best course of action to correct their particular problem. As far as tooth replacement is concerned we generally offer three different options. A temporary dental appliance that can be removed, this can be full or partial. A permanently cemented bridge or a dental implant. Temporary dentures can be inconvenient and cause problems when eating.

What is the dental implant procedure?

Dental Implants Dublin always starts with an initial consultation carried out by our consultation coordinator who will advise on the nature of your condition and the treatments prescribed. If you are happy to proceed we will arrange a diagnostic appointment which will usually include an x-ray of your mouth and a CT scan. Dental implants Dublin will need to have a clear understanding of the state of your teeth and gums to analyse if the fabric of your jaw is able to withstand the force of chewing with an implant. Dental Implants Dublin will also need to identify the exact location of all implants so that they are perfectly located. We achieve all of this using our up to date equipment and the techniques and skills of our qualified practitioners. Your well being is paramount and because each patient is unique our team is meticulous in their planning and the execution of the procedure. In some cases patients display severe nervousness at the impending treatment and to ensure that you are calm and relaxed we offer you the opportunity to be sedated. The dental implant is the surgical fixture that is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of a tooth. This implant acts almost like an artificial root creating a stable platform for the replacement tooth or a bridge. Each patient’s needs are different and we will suggest which brand we consider best suited to accommodate your particular needs.
