Dental Implants in Calgary NW

A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth

If you have one or more missing teeth, due to an injury or tooth extractions, dental implants may be a viable option for restoring your smile. Dental implants are very common, and are often the best option for replacing your missing teeth.

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that replaces the root portion of a missing natural tooth. When placed, it will permanently fuse with the jaw bone and form a strong anchor for a replacement tooth.. Dental implants are often topped with a dental crown, restoring function and providing a natural appearance for tooth replacement. Implants can also be used to stabilize dentures.

Dental implants prevent further oral health issues

Without treatment for your missing teeth:

• Your remaining teeth may shift
• Your bite may become misaligned, leading to jaw problems
• Your jawbone can shrink
• Your face shape may change, causing an aging appearance

Not all treatments for missing teeth will offer the same benefits. Dental implants are unique because compared to other treatment like dental bridges or dentures they:

• Offer a longer lasting solution to missing teeth
• Prevent jaw bone loss and preserve facial appearance
• Preserve the health of your gums and adjacent teeth
• Look and feel like natural teeth
