Specialist Treatments

At Dental Care Ireland in Waterford, we provide a wide range of specialist treatments including endodontics and dental implants.

Our specialist dental treatments and services are delivered by dedicated, well-established and highly skilled professionals.

Dental Implants

Dental implants provide the ultimate solution for missing teeth; a permanent alternative to dentures. A dental implant consists of an artificial titanium root which is used to anchor a permanent ceramic crown or removable denture. Dental implants have been used successfully in Ireland for 30 years. We guarantee to use only the best dental implant systems and materials.

Endodontics

Endodontic or root canal treatment involves the dentist or endodontist (root canal specialist dentist) opening up the tooth at the crown, removing the infected pulp, cleaning and shaping the canals and filling the canal system. This filing is a rubber-like material known as gutta percha which creates a seal in the canal to avoid re-infection. The crown of the tooth is then filled using tooth-coloured filling material. A post and core may be needed to support the root canal treated tooth, so a porcelain crown can be placed over it if needed.

Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal treatments are necessary when the pulp, the soft tissue inside the root canal, becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can be caused by a variety of reasons; deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. Besides, an injury to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess.

Oral Surgery

Oral surgery is an area of dentistry that specialises in conditions of the mouth or jaw. Typically, procedures undertaken by an Oral Surgeon are more complicated then routine dental treatments.
