Your Southwest Calgary Choice for Dental Implants!

If you are looking for a safe, effective and durable solution for replacing missing teeth, dental implant placement surgery might be right for you. Woodlands Dental is pleased to offer advanced dental implant placement to restore your smile and improve your oral health, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants consist of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone in areas where teeth are missing, serving as a sturdy and effective foundation for a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants mimic the natural tooth root, promoting healthy bone structure and preventing further deterioration.

What is the Dental Implant Placement Process?

• Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where the Woodlands Dental team will evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals. We will take X-rays and possibly a 3D scan to assess the bone structure and determine the best treatment plan.
• Implant Placement: During the surgical procedure, the titanium post will be carefully inserted into the jawbone. This is typically done under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Once the implant is placed, a healing period of several months is necessary for the bone to integrate with the implant.
• Abutment Placement: After the healing phase, an abutment (a small connector) is attached to the implant. This will hold the replacement tooth in place.
• Crown Placement: Finally, we will create a custom crown that matches the shape and colour of your natural teeth. This crown is securely attached to the abutment, completing your restoration.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like natural teeth, enhancing your smile.
• Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
• Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.
• Improved Functionality: Enjoy improved chewing and speaking ability without worrying about slippage, as with dentures.
