Replace missing teeth with dental implants in Limerick
Simply put, implants are artificial teeth. They consist of a prosthetic root and tooth to mimic your natural anatomical structure. First, we place a metal screw into your jawbone that acts as a replacement root for the teeth that can no longer support themselves. This ‘root’ fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration so that the implant becomes a fixed part of your mouth. Once this is complete, we will attach a crown or denture to the metal post.
We will design your implants to look and function just like your natural teeth. This makes for a comfortable, discreet alternative to options like dentures.
How does it work?
You'll begin your journey to a restored smile with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Kevin Murphy will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you.
Step 1: The Initial Consultation
Step 2: Treatment Planning
Over the next few months, the implants naturally fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable and durable foundation for the final restoration.

Following the consultation, a personalized treatment plan is crafted to address your specific needs. This plan outlines the number of implants required, the type of restoration, and the timeline for the procedure.
During the implant placement procedure, small titanium posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone. These posts act as artificial tooth roots, providing a secure foundation for the replacement teeth.
Step 3: Implant Placement
Step 4: Healing and Integration
Once the implants have integrated successfully, custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures are attached to the implants. These restorations are designed to match your natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.
