At Dunshaughlin Dental Centre, we understand how missing teeth can affect your confidence, comfort, and overall oral health.

With our skilled team and state-of-the-art technology, you can trust us to provide a seamless and comfortable implant experience.

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant fuses with the bone, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to create a natural-looking and fully functional replacement tooth. Dental implants are an excellent option for replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or entire arch.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
• Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a long-term investment in oral health.
• Improved Confidence: They provide a secure and stable solution, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
• Preservation of Jawbone: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
• No Impact on Neighbouring Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, implants do not require support from adjacent teeth, preserving their natural structure.

The Implant Process

The dental implant process is typically completed in several stages to ensure the best possible results:

• Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we’ll assess your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment options. This allows us to create a personalised plan tailored to your needs.
• Implant Placement: The titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. This procedure is precise and designed for your comfort.
• Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implant will fuse with the jawbone in osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for your new tooth.
• Final Restoration: Once the implant has fully integrated, we’ll attach a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture, restoring your smile to its full functionality and beauty.

Are Dental Implants Right for You?

Dental implants suit most adults with healthy gums and adequate jawbone density. If you’ve experienced bone loss, additional procedures like bone grafting may be recommended to ensure a successful implant. Our team will guide you through the process to determine the best approach for your needs.

Caring for Your Implants

Maintaining dental implants is simple—regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are all needed to keep them in excellent condition. With proper care, your implants can last for decades.
