Dental Implants

Why Missing Teeth Matter

Tooth loss affects more than your smile. It can alter your nutrition — making it harder to maintain a balanced diet — and when missing teeth fall in visible areas, many people feel self-conscious eating or speaking in public. Tooth loss also triggers bone resorption in the jaw, which accelerates the ageing process: lips appear less full, the jawline becomes less defined, and the face's shape gradually changes.

A Biocompatible Solution Backed by Research

The mouth is a demanding environment for any restoration — and also the body's first line of defence. That is why implant materials are held to the highest standards of strength, biocompatibility, and safety. Decades of clinical research have produced titanium implants that integrate reliably with the jawbone, providing a foundation that looks, feels, and functions almost identically to a natural tooth.

Fixed in the Bone, Built for Life

Because a dental implant is anchored in the jawbone, it mimics the signalling of a natural tooth root — preserving bone volume and maintaining your facial structure. It restores near-normal chewing function, leaves your taste buds uncovered, and allows you to speak, eat, and smile with genuine confidence. With proper care and good daily habits, your implant can last decades — for some, a lifetime.

Planning & Placement at Vere Dental

Dr. Caoimhe Doherty holds an MSc in Implantology and plans every case with meticulous precision. We use digital imaging and, where appropriate, 3D CBCT scanning to ensure optimal implant position for long-term function and aesthetics. Implants are always placed as part of a wider oral health plan — bone quality, gum health, bite, and adjacent teeth all inform the process.
