Your Southwest Calgary choice for Dental Implants!

If you are looking for a durable and effective solution for missing teeth, dental implants might be right for you! Woodlands Dental is pleased to offer this effective restorative option, designed to restore both function and aesthetics, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and smile with confidence again.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where missing teeth once were, to act as artificial tooth roots. Once integrated with the bone, they provide a stable foundation on which to place replacement teeth, which can be crowns, bridges or dentures. Dental implants can not only restore your smile, but also help maintain the jawbone structure, preventing the bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Natural Appearance: Dental implants closely mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, providing a seamless smile.
• Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a long-term investment in your oral health.
• Improved Functionality: Unlike removable dentures, dental implants allow for better chewing and speaking, enhancing your overall quality of life.
• Bone Preservation: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to maintain its density and strength.

The Dental Implant Process

The journey to getting dental implants at Woodlands Dental typically involves several key steps:

• Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your mouth, including digital imaging, to determine your suitability for dental implants.
• Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
• Healing Period: Over several months, the dental implant integrates with the bone in a process known as osseointegration.
• Abutment and Restoration: Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown or prosthesis is placed, completing your smile.
