Dental Implants - Marlborough NE Calgary
Dental implants are a permanent alternative to dentures and dental bridges. With dental implants, patients can eat what they want, when they want and never have to worry about embarrassing mishaps or the pain of ill-fitting dentures.
Dental implants are fused to the jawbone, giving you a reliable, secure fit and preventing further bones loss. They are ideal for replacing one or more teeth, supporting a partial fixed bridge or a complete dental restoration.
Dental implants require several visits over a period of many months. First the supporting posts are surgically implanted in your jaw, below the gum line. Then the implant is given the opportunity to heal to ensure the posts are secure and provides the lifetime stability that makes dental implants such a popular choice.
Next, the dentist makes an impression of your mouth to ensure proper alignment. The new artificial tooth is then secured to the post above your gum line giving you a completely natural looking smile.
Dental implants are a wonderful choice for many patients but they are not for everyone.
Be sure to ask Dr. MacDonald if dental implants are the right choice for you.
