Hey everyone! I’m currently over in Ireland and looking to get two dental implants put in where my molars used to be. Honestly, I’m feeling pretty self-conscious about it because those gaps are super noticeable, even if they aren't right in the front.
But what’s actually worse is that the gap seems to be spreading—both vertically and horizontally (I'm positive about that)—and my gums are starting to recede.
It feels like one of my side teeth that doesn't have any support anymore is actually starting to sink down, and I'm terrified it's gonna get loose and fall out.
I reached out to a clinic here in Ireland and this is the breakdown they gave me:
Man, that just feels way too expensive for me. I’ve heard from some folks back home that you can just get an X-ray done for maybe $50, scan it, and send everything over to a dentist in somewhere like Canada, Mexico, or even back in the States, and they’ll give you a quote that is way lower than what we see out here in the West.
Do you guys recommend doing it that way? And if so, does anyone know a good clinic?
[Feel free to shoot me a DM too!]
Thanks a ton!

We work with a few different implant systems.
Straumann and Nobel Biocare implant costs $600 ; Healing Cup $60; Individual tray and impressions approx. $50; zirconium crown on implant is $650. All together is $1360.
Straumann implant $790; healing cup $60; zirconium crown $650; impressions and individual tray approx.. $50. All together $1550.
For two teeth restoration with Megagen or Neodent would be approximately $2670; with Straumann implant- $3050.
Payment plan: on the day of implantation $500 per implant; rest of price until the day when healing cup will be placed (approx.. 3-4 months).
