Dental implants are the number one choice when it comes to replacing missing or failing teeth. Unlike conventional dentures, dental implants act and feel just like your own natural teeth. They also don't require any sticky denture glues or pastes. Modern dentistry now allows us to do what was once deemed seemingly impossible. In years gone by, dentistry was all about removing teeth. However, dental implants have many advantages and they are an investment in your future. Nobody wants to live with missing teeth and an uncomfortable denture that may become loose and cause discomfort, meaning we only take out the problem teeth.

Not many people realise the long-lasting damage they may be causing by not replacing missing teeth. Over time, your jawbone can actually begin to shrink without a tooth root and lead to what is known as 'facial collapse'. Dental implants, when properly maintained, can actually stimulate the growth of bone in your jaw.

We understand that choosing the right clinic can be a somewhat of a confusing experience, with so many clinics offering various treatments at wildly different prices. It's why we established Seapoint Clinic, to make each step of the decision making process as easy as possible. 

By investing in the latest technology means that we can place implants even for patients who have been refused by other dentists. Using advanced digital CT scanners rarely available outside hospitals we can see inside you in 3D to check exactly where nerves and sinuses are. Most smaller local dentists don`t have this facility and so might not be able to carry out an implant in this situation.

Another big problem that Seapoint solves is the clarity in terms of fees charged. Our x-ray fee includes all the x-rays you will need through the whole implant process. Some clinics charge €150+ for the CT alone. That can be a saving of hundreds of euros over the course of a treatment. It`s particularly reassuring for our patients to know that clear and upfront pricing is at the core of what we do.
