Implant Dentistry
Where Your Smile Begins
Calgary, Alberta
An incomplete smile may mean you’re smiling less than you’d like to be. Luckily, dental implants have come a long way thanks to advancements in cosmetic dentistry. If you’re missing one or more teeth, you can visit an implant dentist in Alberta to discuss your tooth replacement options.
Although we do not perform implant dentistry at our Calgary office, we work with a dental implant partner whom we trust for dental implant referrals. After the successful implant process, you’ll return to Dr. Cload for attachment of the porcelain tooth.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant consists of an artificial titanium tooth root and a porcelain crown false tooth that is anchored to the titanium root. The artificial titanium tooth root is implanted surgically, and then allowed to heal before the porcelain crown false tooth is attached to it. A dental bridge may also be used instead of the false tooth.
What are the benefits?
Dental implants offer a way to replace missing teeth that is both functional and aesthetically successful. Here are a few additional reasons why dental implants are a good idea.
- Do not require preparation of the adjacent teeth.
- Implants are permanent solutions to tooth loss.
- They are stable thanks to the implanted tooth root.
- The false tooth is custom-made from porcelain, so it looks and feels like natural enamel.
- Dental implants can prevent bone loss, a common occurrence with missing teeth.
- They are comfortable and don’t require ongoing maintenance above and beyond good dental hygiene.
- Dental implants can prevent any negative effects tooth loss may have on facial appearance.
- Dental implants allow you to eat whatever you like.
- A replaced tooth can boost your self-confidence and help you smile more often.
