Considering Dental Implants in Ireland? Discover 2025’s Top Solutions, Costs, and Life-Changing Benefits

Fed up with dentures or missing teeth? Ireland now offers faster, more natural, and lasting dental implant options—restoring your confidence and comfort. Learn how cutting-edge techniques can transform your smile and what to expect in 2025.

Full Mouth Restoration Procedures in Ireland

Specialised Irish dental practices now provide comprehensive full mouth restoration using dental implants—a commonly chosen option for those seeking to replace all upper and/or lower teeth. Instead of removable dentures, which may cause discomfort or instability, implant-supported options provide a secure fit with a natural appearance and feel. Clinics employ skilled implantologists, advanced digital tools, and offer a range of services from individual tooth replacement to complex reconstructions for significant jaw bone loss.

All-on-4 and All-on-6 Dental Implants

All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant systems are widely used full-arch tooth replacement methods in Ireland in 2025:

All-on-4 Implants: This procedure replaces a full arch of teeth with four implants. The rear implants are angled for maximum support, often eliminating the need for bone grafting. Many patients receive a provisional set of teeth on the same day as surgery.
All-on-6 Implants: Involves six implants per arch, providing enhanced stability and even distribution of bite force, especially suitable for those with sufficient jawbone density. This method is valued for its support of prosthetic teeth.

Features of both systems:

Fixed, non-removable replacement teeth are often provided on the day of surgery.
Help prevent further jawbone loss and maintain facial structure.
Secure fit supports eating, speaking, and smiling.
Customised for individual facial features.

Costs in 2025:

All-on-6: Starting at €8,500 per arch (Dental Suite)
All-on-4: Starting at €10,000 per arch (Slievemore Dental)
Costs may increase depending on case complexity, additional procedures, or materials selected. Dental implant treatments in Ireland may be eligible for a 20% tax rebate through Revenue, and many clinics offer payment plans or financing.

Options for Severe Bone Loss

For patients without sufficient jawbone for traditional implants, advanced alternatives such as zygomatic and pterygoid implants are available at select clinics (e.g., ZAGA Center Dublin). These implants are anchored into the cheekbone or rear jawbone areas, providing restoration opportunities without the need for bone grafting, including cases of significant bone loss. This can expand eligibility for implant treatment.

The Role of Digital Dentistry in Planning and Personalisation

Leading clinics in Ireland use digital technologies—3D scans, CAD/CAM design, facial scanning, and photogrammetry. These tools offer:

More precise, custom-fitted prosthetic teeth
Minimally invasive, computer-guided implant surgery
Reduced number of appointments and streamlined treatment timelines
Potential for improved recovery and predictability of the process

Treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s anatomy and preferences through these advanced methods.

Determining Suitability and Preparation

Dental implant-supported full mouth restoration may be appropriate for adults with:

Several or all missing teeth (upper, lower, or both arches)
Dissatisfaction or challenges with removable dentures
Good general and oral health (treatable conditions such as gum disease need to be addressed first)
Commitment to quitting smoking before and after the procedure for optimal healing

The process generally involves:

Comprehensive oral health assessment and digital imaging
Development of a personalized treatment plan
Extraction of any remaining failing teeth where necessary
In some situations, pre-treatment bone grafting (unless alternatives such as All-on-4 or zygomatic implants are suitable)
Sedation or anaesthesia for comfort during the procedure
After surgery, a temporary restoration is typically provided while healing (generally for several months), followed by the final prosthesis

Long-Term Care and Quality of Life

With proper oral hygiene and routine dental checkups, implant-based full mouth restorations have the potential for long-term success. These treatments can restore chewing function, speech, and appearance, while providing stimulation to the jawbone that helps maintain facial contours. Many patients report:

Increased confidence and comfort in social settings
Ability to eat a wide variety of foods
No risk of dentures slipping or need for adhesives
Enhanced comfort and oral health

Qualified Professionals and Patient Experiences

Irish implantology is supported by experienced clinicians—such as Dr. Peter Doherty at ZAGA Center Dublin, and teams at The Dental Suite and Slievemore Dental—who follow international standards and use current technology and care processes. Success rates are high, and patient testimonials published by clinics frequently highlight satisfaction with both functional and aesthetic outcomes as well as the support provided during treatment, especially where complex needs are involved. Individual results may vary.

Financial Information and Assistance

Typical pricing: €8,500–€12,000 per arch, depending on treatment choice and complexity
Tax relief: Up to 20% refund on treatment costs through Revenue may be applicable
Financing: Many clinics can arrange payment plans; partial insurance coverage is sometimes an option

It is advisable to request a detailed cost estimate and discuss payment and reimbursement options directly with your chosen clinic.

Choosing Dental Implants for Restoration in Ireland

Dental implants are considered a close replacement for natural teeth, offering stability, functionality, and appearance. In 2025, clinics in Ireland provide a range of implant and restoration solutions suitable for diverse patient needs. Whether you are replacing a single tooth or require restoration of full dental arches—even in cases of significant bone loss—an experienced team can support you through the process.

To explore your options, consider scheduling a consultation at a reputable implant clinic to receive an assessment and a treatment plan tailored to your health, preferences, and budget.
