What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically inserted into your jawbone. They act as artificial tooth roots, fusing with the bone over a course of 3–6 months. 

Once the implant fuses with the bone, a natural-looking crown is attached, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth.

Dental implants are designed to be permanent solutions for your oral health needs.

The Dental Implant Process

Your dental needs are uniquely your own, and our team will walk through what to expect from dental implants when you’re here with us for your appointment for dental implants in NW Calgary. 

Here are the steps you can generally expect for a dental implant:

• Consultation and planning: We'll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. We use 3D CBCT scanning technology and digital X-rays to plan your implants.
• Implant placement: The titanium post is surgically placed in your jawbone.
• Osseointegration: Over several months, the implant fuses with the jawbone, creating a stable foundation.
• Abutment placement: Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant to connect the crown.
• Crown placement: A custom-made crown is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration.

We provide all dental implant placements and preparatory procedures right here. Everything comes together at Northwest Dental Centre.

Types of Dental Implants

We provide everything you need for your dental implants in-clinic and can guide you through your options when you book your consultation.

We offer various dental implant options to meet your needs, including:

• Teeth-in-a-day implants: You may be a candidate to have a one-day dental implant that does not involve waiting months for the implant to fuse with the jawbone.
• Single tooth implants: Replace one missing tooth with a natural-looking restoration.
• Multiple tooth implants: Replace several missing teeth with implant-supported bridges.
• All-on-4 & All-on-6 implants: Replace an entire arch of teeth with just 4 or 6 implants.

You can trust us to guide you on your journey to get dental implants in NW Calgary.

Are Dental Implants Right for You?

Dental implants can be a suitable option for most healthy adults who have lost one or more teeth. Your gums and jawbone must be in good condition, too. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your oral health and medical history to determine if dental implants are the right solution for you.

Dental Implant FAQs

Can you replace more than 1 tooth with dental implants?

Yes, dental implants can replace single teeth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch. The possibilities and solutions are numerous, whether we're replacing 1 tooth or an entire set of upper and lower teeth.

Do dental implants feel natural?

Absolutely! Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. You'll be able to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

What’s the difference between dental implants & dentures?

Dental implants and the crowns and artificial teeth they’re paired with are designed to be permanent and very long-lasting. In contrast, dentures typically last up to 10 years.

Unlike dentures, which rest on the gums and can slip or cause discomfort, dental implants are securely anchored in the jawbone. This gives them the same stability and comfort as natural teeth.

Plus, fixed replacement teeth can be cared for inside the mouth just like natural teeth, so you don't have to learn a new routine like you would with dentures. 

Are dental implants safe?

Dental implants are a safe and effective tooth replacement option. Ignoring a missing tooth can lead to bigger oral issues down the road, including jaw bone loss, the shifting or loss of other teeth, and a change in face shape.

If you’re missing a tooth and unsure what to do, please don’t hesitate to call us to learn about all your dental care options.
