A Lasting Solution for Your Dental Needs
At Smileworks Dental, we believe in transforming your dental care experience into something extraordinary. Our commitment goes beyond providing top-notch dental services; we aim to create an inviting and enjoyable environment where you and your family look forward to each visit.
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, providing a stable, natural-feeling replacement that can last a lifetime with proper care.
During your appointment, our attentive team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your oral health. We collaborate with you to create a personalized treatment plan for your dental implants in Calgary. We take the time to understand your unique needs, answer your questions, and address any concerns.

Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants preserve the integrity of your jawbone, preventing the bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing. They also look, feel, and function just like natural teeth — you can eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
Unlike dentures, implants do not slip or require adhesives. Unlike bridges, they do not require the alteration of neighbouring teeth. They are the most independent, natural-feeling tooth replacement available.
Whether you are dealing with a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or unstable dentures, dental implants offer a permanent, life-changing solution. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.

The Dental Implant Procedure: Step by Step
Step 1 — Consultation and imaging: We conduct a thorough evaluation of your oral health and bone density using digital X-rays or CBCT scanning. This lets us plan implant placement precisely and determine if any bone grafting is needed.
Step 2 — Implant placement: The titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable this step is. A healing period of several months follows, during which the implant fuses with the bone (osseointegration).
Step 3 — Crown attachment: Once the implant is fully integrated, a custom abutment and crown are attached. The crown is carefully colour-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, completing your restoration.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most adults in good general health are candidates for dental implants. The key requirements are adequate bone density in the jaw to support the implant, healthy gums free from active gum disease, and a commitment to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
Certain conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, or radiation therapy to the jaw area can affect healing and implant success. We will review your health history carefully during your consultation to determine if implants are right for you.
If you do not have sufficient bone density, bone grafting can often create the foundation needed for a successful implant. We will discuss all your options so you can make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dental implants last? With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top may need to be replaced after 10-15 years due to normal wear, but the implant post itself is designed to be permanent.
Is the dental implant procedure painful? Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the procedure is. We use local anesthesia to ensure you feel nothing during placement, and post-operative discomfort is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
How do I care for my dental implant? Dental implants are cared for just like natural teeth — regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings are all that is needed. Our team will show you how to clean around your implant properly at your follow-up appointments.
