Improving Smiles in the West of Ireland

dental implants

Dental Implants are now available in the West!

Up to now, people who needed or wanted dental implants had to travel out of the West of Ireland for treatment. However, thanks to Dental Care Ireland practices in the West, it’s now possible to get this procedure in your own locality. Dental Care Ireland practices in Tuam, Claregalway, Westport and Castlebar now offer dental implants for people who have lost teeth, whether it’s due to injury, decay, or other factors. 

Dr Ricardo Trindade carries out implant dentistry in these four practices. He qualified in dentistry in his native Portugal and followed this up with practice and further study in the UK and Sweden. He has been working with implants for 19 years and is also deeply involved in implant research in Sweden having gained his PhD from the renowned Sahlgrenska Academy, the world-renowned pioneering centre in implant dentistry. He has a passion for his work and takes great pride in providing quality care for his patients. Dr Trindade understands that every patient has unique needs and aims to provide tailored dental implant treatment plans that meet those specific needs.

Dr Trindade now brings his expertise and experience to the West of Ireland operating out of our four Dental Care Ireland practices here. Dr Trindade wants patients to have a renewed confidence in their smile and lose the awkwardness of missing teeth. 

People are living longer than ever, and while regular brushing, flossing, and check-ups allow many of us to maintain our natural smiles for a lifetime, sometimes our teeth just can’t keep up. If you’ve lost a tooth (or a few teeth) due to injury or disease, dental implants can rejuvenate both your smile and your oral health.

An implant is a synthetic tooth root in the shape of a post that is surgically placed into the jawbone. The “root” is usually made of titanium; the same material used in many replacement hips and knees, and a metal that is well-suited to pairing with human bone. A replacement tooth is then fixed to the post. And the best part? They’ll look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth. With the installation of artificial teeth that closely match real ones, eating and speaking with ease will be the same as before you lost your teeth. 

If you are interested in dental implants, Dr Trindade can assess your suitability and talk you through your treatment with an easy to book consultation. Ready to take charge of your oral health and feel good about your smile? Don’t let missing teeth hold you back any longer. Book your consultation today in Westport, Castlebar, Tuam or Claregalway and avail of the expertise of Dr Trindade.
