An implant can be placed to replace a missing tooth, provided there is sufficient space left to do so. The implant also needs healthy bone for it to be placed in. A large x-ray would be taken at the clinic to determine the suitability of each patient for implants. After the initial consultation, we schedule the placement appointment. This appointment is normally 1 hour depending on the number of implants being placed. After a period of 6-8 weeks, you return for impressions to be taken. 2 weeks later we will be fitting your implant crowns and restoring your dentition to a better function. For most patients, implants are an excellent option to replace missing teeth or to replace a denture, be it a partial or full denture. If you have been diagnosed with Osteoporosis by your doctor and are due to commence a treatment of drugs eg. BiPhosphonates - please ask your doctor if you can postpone this treatment until you have had a dental check-up to determine that you do not require implants. This also applies to implants anywhere in the body ie. hip replacements. The research to date shows that these type of drugs affect the healing quality in the bone and so the implants may fail.

Patients who have been placed on BiPhosphonate Therapy - treatment for osteoporosis - are NOT suitable for implants as these drugs, while they strengthen the density of bone,  they reduce its' healing ability. As such an implant would have a high risk of failing.Please consult with your dentist.

  

Mini Implants

€200 each

A mini implant has several uses dentally. The most common use is in orthodontics where they are required as an anchor to help move teeth into better positions. Depending on the position on the mini implant, it is a very simple procedure to place them and maintain their hygiene. Some may require a more indepth surgical procedure procedure, but this would be in a more complex orthodontic case.
