Dental implants are the best long-term solution to tooth loss, whether you are missing one, some, or all of your natural teeth. Dublin 18 Dental Rooms offers a number of options for implant treatment, including ways to beat the common problems caused by badly-fitting dentures.

When you start to lose your natural teeth, your confidence swiftly goes with them. Should one lost teeth become several or even all of your natural teeth missing, you will face a severely restricted diet and problems with speaking clearly.

Standard dentures are a very common solution that will help with all of these problems, but to fully solve them you need dental implants. Only implants, after all, provide the stability, security, and realistic action of a second set of functional adult teeth.

At our Dublin Dental Room we can stabilise your wayward dentures by using dental implants. For this procedure a series of implants (usually between two and six, depending on your clinical situation and need) are placed in direct contact with your jaw bone, where they will instantly start to integrate.

This integration process takes a few months to fully complete, and your Dublin dentist may adjust your existing dentures in order for you to keep wearing them whilst healing and integration takes place. You should avoid using them for the first few days after your implant surgery, until any swelling or bruising has gone down.

Once your dental implants have fully integrated with your jaw bone, your Dublin dentist will attach your new dentures to abutments on top of your implants.

You will notice the difference immediately, being able to eat whatever you like with no more restrictions, having the ability to speak clearly once more, and having a new smile full of teeth that are so realistic few people will realise they are not the real thing. The chances are, you won’t be able to stop smiling and showing them off when you leave our Dublin Dental Room.

With a success rate of more than 90%, dental implants are a highly effective solution to tooth loss. As long as you take care of them, you’ll have them for life.

Dental implants provide an excellent, permanent solution to tooth loss. At Dublin 18 Dental Rooms we have a skilled implant dentist who can use these bionic tooth roots to replace anything from one to all of your natural teeth, in combination with crowns, a bridge, or dentures.

Most patients at our Dublin Dental Room only need local anaesthetic for the placement of dental implants, which is carefully planned by your dentist beforehand. As soon as they are in position your implants begin to integrate with your jaw bone, keeping it strong and dense and preventing the problem of bone loss and the associated difficulties with loose dentures.

With dental implants you have, in effect, a second chance at natural, functional teeth, which are aesthetically appealing, to boot. You won’t ever have to worry about your teeth becoming loose or slipping out, because your dental implants will hold them firmly in place.

This means that you can enjoy:

Eating anything you want – crunchy fruit and vegetables, chewy baked potatoes, rare roast beef. Just lay off the sugary treats because like natural teeth, your new teeth can attract plaque bacteria.

Speaking clearly and confidently, even singing loud and proud, without the worry that anyone will realise your teeth are false.

Socialising as much as you like and constantly smiling as you catch up with old friends, enjoy family meals, or take up a new hobby without wayward, slippy dentures causing you problems.

Dublin dental implants: aftercare

One thing’s for sure, you will want to take care of your implants and new teeth lest you run the risk of losing teeth a second time. The good news is that it isn’t in the least bit complicated to look after your dental implants and new teeth. You just need to make sure your dental hygiene routine is first class.

It’s also important to come back to our Dublin clinic for regular check-ups with the dentist, as well as to visit they hygienist for professional tooth cleaning, because plaque can build up on your new teeth too, and can lead to gum disease if not treated.

With dental implants, you can get your beautiful smile back – and so much more besides. At Dublin 18 Dental Rooms our skilled implant dentist can replace anything from one to all of your teeth with dental implants, providing a long-term – even permanent – solution to tooth loss.

Tooth loss happens for all manner of reasons, and can affect anyone at any stage of life. The most important thing to remember is that missing teeth should always be promptly replaced, one way or another. At our Dublin Dental Room we believe dental implants are more often than not the best way to do so.

Unlike standard dental bridges, which take support from surrounding teeth and often require the destruction of healthy tooth tissue in order for crowns to be placed on those teeth, an implant-retained bridge will take all the support it needs from your dental implants, meaning that your remaining teeth stay healthy and strong.

Dentures are commonly used in cases of multiple or all missing teeth, but whilst standard dentures replace the crowns of the teeth, they do nothing to replace the roots. This can result in a loss of density in the jaw bone, which in turn makes your dentures loose and increasingly hard to use.

Dental implants solve all of these problems. They are bionic tooth roots that are placed directly in your jaw bone in a minor operation, carried out here in the dentist’s chair at our Dublin clinic. Most people only need local anaesthetic for this procedure, which is often reported as being more bearable than a tooth extraction.

As soon as they are in position, dental implants start to integrate with your jaw bone. This process takes several months to complete, during which time your Dublin dentist may fit temporary teeth, or you may continue to wear your old denture.

Once the process of osseointegration is complete, the dental implants will be as strong and durable as natural tooth roots. You will then be called back to our Dublin Dental Room so that your permanent new teeth – either a single crown, an implant-retained bridge, or a denture – can be fitted.

If you choose dental implants to replace your missing teeth, you will get back so much more than an attractive smile. At Dublin 18 Dental Rooms, we can use implants to replace anything from one to all of your natural teeth. The procedure takes a few months to fully complete, but the result will be, in effect, a second chance at a fully functional set of adult teeth.

We see patients at our Dublin Dental Room who have lost one or more teeth for all manner of reasons. Gum disease and tooth decay are Ireland’s primary causes of tooth loss, and whilst these do not necessarily preclude you from implant-based treatment, dental implants do need to be placed in a healthy mouth to maximise their chances of being successful.

Fortunately, our Dublin Dental Room contains a number of highly experienced dentists who can treat conditions such as advanced gum disease prior to placing your dental implants.

Our Dublin clinic also has access to a CT scanner, which will be used in combination with x-rays to assess your level of bone density before you have implant surgery.

Dublin dental implants

The majority of dental implants patients at our Dublin clinic only need local anaesthetic for this treatment. Although it involves minor oral surgery, your dentist will undertake intricate planning using the latest 3D computer software to ensure that your implants are put in exactly the right location and at the precise angle required to support your new tooth or teeth, in crown, bridge, or denture form.

The good news is that – unless you are having a single crown restoration – you are unlikely to need as many dental implants as teeth. A carefully placed series of implants is usually enough to support a full-arch bridge or denture.

Each case is different, so your dentist will discuss how many implants you will need and what the best restoration option is when you come in for your initial consultation.

With the help of dental implants you can wave goodbye to loose dentures or a gappy mile, and say hello to being able to eat, smile, speak, and laugh confidently.

With dental implants, your dentist has a permanent way to replace your missing natural teeth. At Dublin 18 Dental Rooms we can use implants to restore your smile, replacing anything from one to all of your teeth and giving you back both aesthetic appeal and realistic function.

As well as being permanent, dental implants are also the only way your dentist can replace the roots of lost teeth. Tooth roots are important not just to holding your teeth securely in your mouth, but also in maintaining the health of your jaw bone.

When the natural tooth roots are missing for some time and are not replaced, the jaw bone will start to shrink or resorb. This, combined with receding gum tissue, is the major reason that traditional dentures become loose and hard to live with.

At our Dublin Dental Room we can use dental implants to stabilise your dentures. This brings many life benefits when compared with standard false teeth, including:

• The ability to eat whatever you choose
• Being able to speak clearly
• No concerns about denture slippage, improving your self-confidence and enabling you to enjoy social activities such as Sunday lunch with the family or afternoon tea with friends
• No more denture sore mouth

The majority of patients at our Dublin Dental Room only require local anaesthetic for the placement of dental implants, which does involve minor oral surgery. Because your dentist will undertake intricate planning using the latest 3D software prior to your surgery, placing dental implants is actually pretty simple from a patient’s point of view.

Once your implants are in place, they will start to heal and mesh with your jaw bone to create a bond that is similar to that of a natural tooth root. Healing typically takes about six months, after which your Dublin dentist will attach your permanent new teeth, be they crowns, a bridge, or dentures, to abutments on top of your implants.

Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution, and they have a very high success rate. With regular visits to our Dublin Dental Room for maintenance appointments, they should last you decades.

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.

Dental implants restore both aesthetic appeal and natural function to the mouths of patients who have lost natural teeth. Dublin 18 Dental Rooms offers implant solutions to people with one, some, or even all of their teeth missing, providing a second chance at a healthy jaw.

Milk teeth are designed to be temporary, but adult teeth are supposed to be permanent. However, at our Dublin Dental Room we understand that many lifestyle factors can contribute to this second set of natural teeth being lost before their time.

Common reasons for tooth loss include:

Gum disease – If this is allowed to progress from common gingivitis to the more serious form, periodontitis, teeth can become loose and fall out. Good dental hygiene is needed to prevent gum disease, although some people are unfortunately more susceptible to the condition.

Tooth decay – Modern sugary diets are terrible news for the teeth. Tooth decay is preventable, but remains a leading cause of tooth loss.

Accidents and injuries – Blows to the head and face can result in tooth loss. Sometimes, your dentist can re-implant your tooth in the socket if you act promptly, but if not, dental implants are the best long-term solution.

Indeed, at our Dublin Dental Room we believe dental implants are often the solution in all of the above circumstances. If you have periodontal disease, we will treat this first, to ensure that your implants are placed in a healthy mouth to maximise their chances of success.

Dublin dental implants

At our Dublin Dental Room we place dental implants under local anaesthetic. Any post-operative discomfort and swelling should pass quickly, and can be managed with over-the-counter painkillers – your dentist will provide you with further advice on how to manage this at the time of implant surgery.

Depending on your clinical need, you may have a bridge, a crown, or a denture attached to your dental implants. Sometimes we can attach new teeth immediately, while in other cases it is best to wait until the process of osseointegration has taken place before fitting permanent restorations.

Dental implants are designed to be a permanent and fully functional solution to missing teeth.

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.
