Dental Implants in NE Calgary: Restore Your Smile

Implants are artificial roots. They are not visible as they are secured in the bone. After the implant is in place, a crown or a type of denture is secured to the implant, making it unnoticeable and permanent.

Having implants to restore missing teeth is far more comfortable, natural, and functional than regular removable dentures. Speak to your dentist to determine if implants are right for you.

Dental Implants in NE Calgary: Is an Implant Right for You?

A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth, so the new tooth is anchored in your jaw instead of resting on your gums. Implants are often a good fit if you:

• Have one or more missing teeth, or a tooth that can’t be saved and needs an extraction
• Want an option that doesn’t rely on neighbouring teeth, the way a traditional bridge does
• Are tired of loose or uncomfortable dentures and want them to stay in place
• Have healthy gums and enough jaw bone to support an implant (bone grafting may be discussed if not)

Implant Options We Can Discuss With You

• Single-tooth implant: one implant topped with a custom crown that matches your natural teeth.
• Implant-supported bridge: two or more implants holding a bridge to replace several teeth in a row.
• Implant-retained dentures: a denture that clips onto implants, so it stays secure when you eat and speak.

What to Expect, Step by Step

1. Free implant consultation: we examine your mouth, take X-rays and talk through your options and costs.
2. Implant placement: the implant is placed in the jaw under local anesthetic. Nitrous and oral sedation are available on request if you’re nervous.
3. Healing: over the next few months the bone bonds to the implant. A temporary tooth can often be worn in the meantime.
4. Your new tooth: once healed, we attach the final crown, bridge or denture.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Calgary?

The cost depends on how many teeth are being replaced, whether you need bone grafting, and the type of crown, bridge or denture on top. We follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide, offer direct billing to your insurance, and have 0% interest financing and payment options. At your free consultation we explain the estimated cost before any treatment starts, so there are no surprises.

Caring for Your Implant

Implants can’t get cavities, but the gums around them can get infected. Brush twice a day, floss or use an interdental brush around the implant, and keep up with regular cleanings and check-ups so we can catch problems early.
