Calgary Dental Implants

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically implanted into your jaw where missing teeth once were, and act as a replacement for missing tooth roots. They are permanently fixed into the jawbone, and after a short period of healing, create a very strong foundation on which to place an artificial tooth replacement like a ceramic dental crown or bridge to complete the restoration. Dental implants look and function just like natural teeth, and if cared for properly, can last for years.

Ideal candidates for dental implant treatment have good overall health and practice routine oral hygiene practices. Adequate bone levels in your jaw are also required to support the dental implant, and healthy gum tissue that is free of gum disease is very important in order for your dental implant treatment to be successful.

We recommend dental implants for patients with dentures, in order to maximize the fit and comfort of the denture when problems such as inadequate bone levels or irregular bone shape interfere with the function of the denture. Patients that experience pain and irritation to their gum tissues, and resort to using denture adhesives, are great candidates for implant supported dentures.

Benefits of  Dental implants

• Enhance the Natural Appearance of Your teeth
• Saves the Surrounding Teeth
• Conserves Bone Density
• Reliable and High Functioning
• Permanent and very easy to care for

The success rate for dental implant treatment is very high. We consider Dental implants as a permanent restoration. Unlike wearing a denture or partial denture that must be removed every night, or worrying about eating certain foods that may cause the denture to click or slip, dental implants are the closest restoration to your natural tooth structure!
