Dental Implants in SW Calgary
What is a dental implant?
Dental implants are used to replace the roots of missing teeth. They are composed of a surgical-grade titanium alloy which is considered a biocompatible and bioactive metal. The biocompatibility process, known as osseointegration, is vital to many operations such as hip or knee replacement. They are surgically placed into the jawbone, and after a healing period of 4-6 months, fitted with a ceramic dental crown or bridge to complete the restoration.
If you are missing a single tooth, a single dental implant can be used to support a crown for tooth replacement. In cases where there are multiple missing teeth or where a person has dentures, multiple implants can be placed. Depending on the number of implants you receive, you may have replacement teeth that are secure during the day but can still be removed for cleaning and sleeping. Alternatively, dental implants near you, can be placed such that up to all of a person’s teeth can be replaced with teeth that are not removed. This can be done with anywhere from 4 to 8 implants using Full Arch/Full Mouth, mini-Implants, or All-on-4® techniques.
Complete Implant Solution Starting at $2,999
At Chinook Smiles, your dental implant treatment is delivered with clarity and care. The package includes a free consultation, a Health Canada–approved implant body, and a final ceramic crown designed to blend naturally with your teeth. Pricing applies to a single-tooth implant in a healthy site. If additional steps such as extractions, bone grafting, or sedation are required, your dentist will review these with you and provide a precise cost estimate before treatment begins. Our team focuses on precision, safety, and long-term comfort so that you can feel confident in both your decision and your smile.
What are the benefits of Dental Implants?
- Significant improvement in the overall quality of life for patients who have implant-supported or retained dentures, as opposed to standard or conventional (free-floating) dentures.
- Help maintain or realign facial structure and profile.
- Preserve bone that is otherwise lost when teeth are removed.
- Easy to clean and do not decay.
- Help to preserve adjacent natural teeth.
- Implant-supported crowns and bridges have a longer functioning life than conventional crowns and bridges placed over natural tooth structures.
- Help to prevent the appearance of premature ageing by preventing bone loss that otherwise occurs after loss of teeth.
- Implant-supported replacement teeth can eliminate embarrassing denture slippage.
- While the initial investment for a dental implant can be greater than that of a conventional bridge, in the long run, implants can be more cost-effective when taking into account the functioning life of the implant compared to a conventional bridge.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, good dental hygiene, and a healthy lifestyle, implants can last a lifetime. For more than 40 years, dental professionals have successfully placed millions of implants. Technology and procedures have advanced significantly since the first implants were introduced, allowing a well-established success rate of up to 98%.
At rare times, implants may not be successful. Some reasons for failure can be attributed to an unhealthy lifestyle (smoking), poor dental hygiene, trauma, or infection arising from elsewhere in the mouth. Implants do require brushing, flossing, and regular cleaning appointments with your dentist or dental hygienist. Lastly, the prosthetic teeth can wear out over time, with materials such as porcelain eventually chipping or cracking and requiring repair or replacement. In most cases, the original dental implant can still be used to secure new replacement teeth.
