Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone — giving you a permanent, stable result that looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth.
- Look and feel natural — Indistinguishable from real teeth — no one will know
- Permanent solution — With proper care, implants can last 20+ years or a lifetime
- Preserve your jawbone — Prevent the bone loss that accelerates after tooth loss
- No impact on neighbours — Unlike bridges, no grinding down of adjacent healthy teeth
- Eat and speak freely — No slipping, no restrictions — complete confidence
Implants vs Alternatives
Your Implant Journey
The implant process is straightforward. Dr. O'Kane manages every step in-house — from assessment to final crown — so you always know who you're dealing with.
Free Consultation
45 minutes
X-rays and a full assessment to confirm suitability. Dr. O'Kane explains your options and costs — no obligation.
Implant Placement
1–2 hours
A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is.
Healing Period
3–6 months
The implant fuses with the bone (osseointegration). A temporary crown keeps you looking great throughout.
Final Crown
30 minute fitting
Your natural-looking permanent crown is fitted. The result is indistinguishable from a real tooth — for life.

The Castlemill Difference
Southern Implants — the strongest titanium available
We use Southern Implants, widely regarded as the most innovative system on the market. Their titanium is uniquely strong — meaning we can place narrower implants in patients with limited bone, without compromising durability. For many patients, this removes the need for invasive procedures before treatment can begin.
Versah Densah® burr system — avoiding bone grafts
We use the Versah Densah® burr system to prepare the implant site. Rather than simply cutting bone, these burrs can densify existing bone or gently expand the ridge — often eliminating the need for a separate bone graft. Fewer procedures, lower cost, faster overall timeline.
Honest Pricing
No hidden fees, no surprises. Full cost breakdown given at your free consultation before you commit to anything. Finance options available to spread the cost.
All In-House
Consultation, placement, and crown — all managed by Dr. O'Kane at our Balbriggan clinic. No referrals, no travelling to a specialist. Seamless care from start to finish.

Verified reviews from WhatClinic and Google
"I received numerous extensive treatments including crown, implant, extractions and orthodontic treatment. It was the best decision I ever made and I am over the moon with my lovely new smile and healthy teeth."
"Outstanding dentist, I have had implant and root canal along with other work done here. I dread other dentists and highly recommend Nicholas and his team. Coincidentally happens to be the best value by quite a margin too."
"I have had filling, root canal, bridge work and implants. Nick was great — he would have a chat before each treatment and this really helped to put me at ease. I would highly recommend this practice."
