Dental Implants
Dental Implants Dublin
We offer implants at our Dublin clinic to replace a single tooth, multiple or all teeth with fixed bridges. Patients often have a number of questions about what implants are and what they can do for them.
Implants are a small titanium screw which replaces the root of the tooth.
Once it is healed in the bone, it can be restored with a crown which looks, feels and functions just like a normal tooth when it was healthy, natural and beautiful.
Best Dental Implants Dublin
Implants are an excellent restoration for people who want to replace a single missing tooth. If you have no teeth, implants can replace all your teeth to give you stable dentures that don’t move about when you chew your food or we can place a fixed bridge that cannot be taken out so the restoration is more like real fixed teeth.
If you are looking for a reliable dentist in town, we are here to help. We are known for the best, affordable, and painless dental treatments with quick appointments and timely solutions.

What are dental implants used for?
A tooth implant can be used to help you in many aspects of your dental care.
They can replace single, multiple or all teeth with fixed bridges
Two implants can help retain a denture for anyone struggling with retaining their denture or if it doesn’t feel stable. Other applications include to aid orthodontics and bone maintenance.
What are the steps involved?
The procedure is customised to your exact clinical situation however the replacement of a single tooth would normally involve the following steps.
The failed tooth is removed and a temporary restoration (tooth) is supplied so you never have to go without a tooth.
Some weeks later the implant is placed involving very careful and gentle insertion of the titanium implant at the location of a previous tooth.
A few months later the implant can be used to support a new tooth that will function and look much like a natural tooth.

What are the advantages of dental implants?
Dental implants have a number of advantages including:
- Good success rates (95% still in function after 10 years)
- Very aesthetic result – looks like a natural tooth
- Conservative – doesn’t affect teeth on either side
- Restores function to improve biting and chewing
- Doesn’t decay like natural teeth
- Maintains bone in the area of the implant
Do I need to look after my implants?
Absolutely yes. We mention this as sometimes people believe implants require no care or maintenance. They do however need to be kept thoroughly clean (as teeth do) and you will need to attend for regular check ups to ensure they are working perfectly.
What next?
For the best dental implant types and care in Ireland you will need to attend for a full assessment. The specialist will be able to tell you quickly if implants are suitable for you and give you an idea of the dental implants cost. You can see dental implants before and after in our smile gallery.
“Regarding the tooth and implant cost we will ensure you have an understanding of not only the procedures required and the steps but also the cost for these and any other options that may be available to you.”
With advanced cases we may need additional X-rays to assess the bone fully to ensure enough bone is present. If there is insufficient bone we have many procedures to recreate your bone and even gums if needed.

FAQs
This is a common concern for many patients. The cost of dental implants can vary depending on several factors, including the number of implants needed, the complexity of the procedure, and geographical location. While dental implants may be a significant investment, they are often a long-term solution with potential cost savings compared to other restorative options. Most dental practices offer flexible payment plans and insurance may cover a portion of the cost.
To determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants, a comprehensive oral examination is necessary. Generally, individuals with good overall oral health and adequate jawbone density are ideal candidates. However, even if you have existing dental issues, there are often treatment options available to prepare you for implants.
The duration of the dental implant process varies depending on individual factors such as bone density and healing time. Typically, the entire process, from implant placement to the placement of the final restoration, can take several months. However, advancements in dental technology have led to shorter treatment times in many cases.
The placement of dental implants is performed under local anesthesia, meaning you should not experience pain during the procedure. Some discomfort may be experienced after the surgery, but over-the-counter pain relievers can usually manage this. As the implants integrate with your jawbone, you may experience mild discomfort or swelling, but this is temporary.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, is essential for the long-term success of your implants. Avoiding bad habits like smoking and teeth grinding can also contribute to the longevity of your implants.
Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional tooth replacement options such as dentures and bridges. Implants provide a strong, stable foundation for replacement teeth, improving chewing ability and speech clarity. They also preserve jawbone density, preventing facial sagging and maintaining the natural appearance of your smile. Unlike dentures and bridges, implants require no special care or cleaning beyond regular oral hygiene.
