Dental Implants
With the recent advancements in dentistry, Calgary residents can now successfully replace a lost tooth or numerous teeth with dental implants. Missing teeth will cause your jawbone to shrink and cause the other teeth in your mouth to drift or move. This can change the biting forces on adjacent teeth and will not only result in a poor bite, but may lead to jaw problems. Without having dental implants, your face can also lose its full, youthful appearance.
Dental implants are an excellent way to replace missing teeth and keep a good looking smile.
How do Dental Implants work?
Dental implants are small titanium cylinders that are inserted into the bone of the jaw to replace the root of missing teeth. A new dental crown is then attached permanently on top of the dental implant. The new tooth looks, feels, and works exactly like the rest of your natural teeth.
Restoration with dental implants is a two-step process that can be done at our Calgary clinic for one or more teeth, and may be required before placing dental bridges.
Everyone deserves a beautiful smile!
Caring for your Dental Implants
Dental implants require the same care as your natural teeth, including regular and proper brushing and flossing, and regular dental checkups. After your restoration, we are able to provide information on how to care for your dental implants during the healing period, as well as provide recommendations on ensuring their long-term success. This will help to keep your smile beautiful.
We look forward to seeing you for dental implants.
It's easy to book an appointment online, or by phone.
