Dental Implant

Dental Implants are used to replace missing teeth. An implant is a small titanium screw which replaces the root of the tooth. Once the screw has healed, this provides a foundation to fit a single crown or even multiple teeth. Implant placement is carried out under local anaesthetic, like a filling.

Just had my second visit to Dr Hilary in athlone dental. Due to a life long aversion to dentists I have neglected my teeth. I can not recommend this man enough. What a gentleman and a talented up to date professional. The premises are beautifully clean and airy. The 2 Laura's and marie are so friendly. I left crying with happiness today as my front teeth got a little make over. Cant recommend enough
