Dental Implants

Complete Your Smile with Dental Implants

Missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and go about your day, but there’s a long-lasting solution. Dental implants are a restorative dental procedure designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, offering strong support and a seamless fit for your smile.

We offer dental implant services in Calgary to help restore function, comfort, and aesthetics. Whether you’ve lost a single tooth or need a more comprehensive solution, dental implants are a natural-looking, long-lasting way to fill in the gaps.

If you’re considering your options for tooth replacement, we’re here to help. Contact us to schedule your dental implant consultation today.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that’s surgically placed into your jawbone to act as a replacement root. Once the implant heals and integrates with your bone (a process called osseointegration), a custom-made crown is attached to the top, giving you a tooth that looks, feels, and functions much like a natural one.

Implants can be used to:

Replace a single missing tooth
Support a dental bridge
Anchor a full denture

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most adults with healthy gums and enough jawbone to support an implant are good candidates. We’ll assess your oral and overall health during your consultation to determine if this option is right for you.

Some patients may need a bone graft before implant placement. This procedure builds up the jawbone to create a solid foundation for your implant.

We’ll walk you through the process and answer any questions you have.

Why Consider Dental Implants?

Dental implants are often chosen for their comfort, durability, and natural appearance. Unlike dentures, implants stay securely in place and don’t require adhesives.

They also help preserve your jawbone, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth. Some of the benefits of dental implants can include:

Long-lasting solution (with proper care)
Improved chewing and speech
Restored appearance and self-esteem
No impact on neighbouring teeth (unlike traditional bridges)

What to Expect During the Implant Process

The dental implant process usually takes place over multiple visits, often over the span of a few months to allow for proper healing.

Step 1: Consultation & Treatment Planning

We begin with a thorough exam, including imaging, to determine whether dental implants are right for you. If necessary, we’ll discuss additional treatments like bone grafting.

Step 2: Implant Placement

The implant is surgically placed into your jawbone. Local anesthesia is used to keep you comfortable. After placement, we give the area time to heal and for the implant to bond with your bone.

Step 3: Crown Placement

Once the implant is secure, we attach a custom crown to complete your smile. The crown is designed to match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and size.

Healing & Aftercare

Healing time can vary, but most patients can return to daily activities within a few days. During the healing process:

Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing near the implant site
Follow all care instructions provided by your dentist
Avoid smoking or using straws to protect the surgical site and promote healing

Good oral hygiene is essential for long-term success. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits can help your implant last for many years.
