When it comes to restoring a confident smile, dental implants stand as one of the most reliable and transformative solutions in modern dentistry. In Dublin, the demand for high-quality dental implant treatments has steadily grown, driven by both innovation in dental technology and an increasing awareness among patients seeking a permanent, natural-looking solution for missing teeth.
Dr Zack Key-Hani, is the leading implantologist at our Donnybrook clinic. With decades of clinical experience and a reputation for precision and patient care, Dr Zack has helped hundreds reclaim not just their smiles—but their quality of life.
In this helpful guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about dental implants in Dublin, from what they are, to why Straumann implants are considered the gold standard, and why choosing the right clinic—like ours in Donnybrook—makes all the difference.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial root for a replacement tooth. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, providing a strong, stable foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures.
Unlike removable dentures, implants are a permanent solution that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. They prevent bone loss, help maintain facial structure, and allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Why Are Dental Implants So Popular in Dublin?
Living in a vibrant city like Dublin means a lot of smiling, talking, and socialising. A missing tooth—or several—can deeply impact self-esteem and even lead to further oral health issues if left untreated.
Many Dubliners are now choosing implants over other options such as bridges or dentures because of the long-term benefits they offer, including:
Superior aesthetics
Increased comfort and stability
Preservation of jawbone and facial structure
Longevity (implants can last decades with proper care)
No impact on surrounding teeth
Additionally, advancements in implantology have made procedures less invasive, with quicker recovery times, especially in expert hands like those of Dr Zack Key-Hani.

What to Expect
At our Donnybrook location, the journey towards a new smile is carefully guided every step of the way. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with a comprehensive consultation to assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine your suitability for implants. This may include digital X-rays or a 3D CT scan.
2. Treatment Planning
Dr Zack will create a custom treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and preferences. He will also walk you through the Straumann system and explain what makes it ideal for your case.
3. Implant Placement
The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Thanks to Dr Zack’s expertise, this is typically a quick and painless procedure.
4. Healing & Osseointegration
Over the next few months, the implant integrates with your jawbone. During this time, temporary restorations may be placed for aesthetic purposes.
5. Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, we place the final crown, bridge or denture. It’s custom-crafted to match your natural teeth, leaving you with a seamless, beautiful smile.
Dental Implants vs. Other Solutions

Are Dental Implants Right for Everyone?
While most healthy adults are candidates for dental implants, certain factors can affect eligibility:
Sufficient jawbone density
Non-smoker or willingness to stop
Good oral hygiene habits
Overall health status
Even if you’ve been told you’re not eligible in the past, advances in bone grafting and implant design (like those from Straumann) may now make implants possible. Our Donnybrook team can assess your suitability with precision diagnostics.
Cost of Dental Implants in Dublin
Implant costs vary depending on complexity, materials used, and the number of implants required. While dental implants are a premium treatment, they offer long-term value and lower lifetime maintenance costs than bridges or dentures.
