We are vastly experienced in fitting dental implants in Limerick. Implants are a way of fitting false teeth through a titanium metal rod placed in the jawbone. This allows new teeth to be permanently fixed without the need for a bridge, so any number of teeth can be replaced. Implant technology has been shown to give long-lasting and strong new teeth.

Teeth can gradually discolour with age, diet and after some treatments such as root canal. Tooth or teeth whitening can lighten the colour of teeth to improve appearance and give you back a dazzling smile. While there are toothpastes and home kits which promise to whiten teeth, it is always more effective and safer to discuss your needs with your dentist.

A crown is an artificial cap which restores the shape of damaged or unsightly teeth. The crown is made especially to the desired shape and colour. The tooth is then prepared by your dentist to give a firm basis for the crown. When the crown is then fixed permanently over the tooth, you have an attractive, long lasting replacement. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by an artificial tooth joined to crowns over the two adjoining teeth.

Periodontal diseases affect the tissue of the gums and can eventually lead to tooth loss. Gum diseases are caused by plaque – a film of bacteria that form on the teeth. A dental check-up with us will spot the early signs of disease which may also result in bleeding from the gums. Thorough cleaning will be done by a dentist or hygienist. You will be shown how to remove plaque yourself and your teeth monitored to prevent recurrence.
