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.
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.
