Dental Implants

Dental Implants in Southeast Calgary

Dental implants are a restorative option used to replace one or more missing teeth. At Viva Dental, we provide individualized implant treatment planning focused on supporting oral function and long-term oral health. Implant recommendations are based on your clinical needs, oral health status, and treatment goals.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a titanium post that serves as an artificial tooth root and supports a custom dental restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants are designed to function as part of a fixed solution for missing teeth and may also help support jawbone stability.

Your dentist will review available restoration options and determine whether dental implants are appropriate for your individual situation.

When Are Dental Implants Considered?

Dental implants may be considered when:

• One or more teeth are missing
• Surrounding teeth and gum tissue are healthy
• Adequate bone support is present or can be addressed
• A fixed alternative to removable appliances is preferred

A comprehensive assessment is required to determine suitability for implant treatment.

Benefits of Dental Implants

While outcomes vary by patient, dental implants may offer several advantages, including:

• A stable replacement for missing teeth
• Support for chewing and speech
• Preservation of spacing and bite alignment
• Stimulation of the jawbone in the area of tooth loss

Your Viva Dental dentist will review whether dental implants are an appropriate option based on your individual needs and health considerations.
