How Dental Implants Work
When you get dental implants in Calgary, our dentist will secure them tightly in your mouth for added stability. As opposed to regular dental crowns which fit over your existing teeth, dental implants represent a more permanent tooth replacement option. We anchor a titanium cylinder into your jaw to replace the missing tooth root, ensuring the crown stays in place for a long time.
Ways to Maintain Your Dental Implants
To prolong the lifespan of your implants, it is essential to keep them clean and free of bacteria. Below are some tips to follow at home:
• Use a high quality soft-bristle brush to clean your implants twice a day
• Use a less to non-abrasive toothpaste
• Choose a nylon coated brush to clean remote corners of your mouth
• Floss regularly with an implant-specific floss

Implant Crowns
A crown is used to cap a damaged tooth or can be placed on an implant to provide shape and structure similar to your natural tooth. Various materials, such as porcelain, ceramic, acrylic, gold, and metal alloys can be used for crowns. It is used to strengthen a damaged tooth and improve a tooth’s appearance, shape, as well as alignment.
Our dentists may recommend a crown to:
- Replace a large filling
- Restore a fractured tooth
- Prevent a weak tooth from fracturing
- Cover a tooth that had root canal treatment
- Cover a discoloured tooth
Tips to ensure longevity of your crown are:
- Brush your teeth and gums with fluoride toothpaste twice a day and floss regularly
- Schedule regular checkups and professional cleaning
- Prevent damage to your crown by not chewing hard foods
-
Implant Bridges
A bridge is used to fill the gaps left by one or more missing teeth. Our dentists can help you decide whether to choose porcelain or ceramic bridges. It is cemented to natural teeth or implants to prevent gum disease or TMJ disorders.
Various benefits of bridges are:
- Strengthens damaged teeth
- Improves the appearance, shape, and alignment of your teeth
- Prevents the remaining teeth from shifting
While bridges can last a lifetime, they may also become loose or fall out. Keep your gums and teeth healthy by brushing with a fluoride toothpaste twice a day and floss regularly. You should also schedule regular visits to your dentist for checkups and professional cleanings

Implant-supported Dentures
An implant-supported denture is a kind of overdenture that is attached to implants for support. If your entire rows of teeth are missing, but your jaw can support the implants, we recommend implant dentures. Replacing your missing teeth with dentures will improve your appearance and smile. Without the support of the dentures, facial muscles may sag and make a person look older. Implant-supported dentures can also help you eat and speak more comfortably.
A few oral care tips for dentures are:
- Keep your dentures in a cleanser, soaking solution, or water
- Brush dentures regularly to remove food and dental plaque
- Visit your dentist if dentures break, chip, crack, or become loose
