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
