Alberta Implant Dentists - Build the Perfect Smile with Implants!

It is everybody's aim to have that 'megawatt' smile that lights up a room when they walk in. To achieve this goal, you should have perfectly aligned, white teeth. The problem is that not everyone is blessed with straight teeth when they are born, which is why children often have corrective braces.

As an adult, if you have crooked teeth that needs correcting, if there is a missing tooth that needs to be replaced, or if there is a chipped part of a tooth which looks unsightly when you smile, the best solution is to go for implants.

Dental implants are a great way to build that perfect smile.

Basically, the goal of dental implants is to replace a missing tooth or set of teeth with natural-looking implants. The procedure works in such a way that the manufactured crown will be used to replace the broken, chipped or missing tooth. An implant screw will be used in place of the natural root and an implant abutment will serve as the support for the periodontal ligament. For the implant screw, titanium is the preferred material since it is the one which is most compatible with the human biology. The screw is surgically placed in the jawbone so that the implant will be permanently placed, unlike removable dentures which require some form of adhesive to stay in place.

The other teeth imperfections which can be corrected by dental implants include indentations in the gums or jaw, teeth which are too short or too long, exposed roots, a 'gummy' smile, an uneven gum line or a combination of all these procedures.

Now, when you compare dental implants to root canals, bridges, fixed dentures and removable denture, there are several advantages that you will get to enjoy:
- Dental implants have almost 98% success rates with patients. If you have undergone a dental implant procedure and you have good oral hygiene, the implants should last you a lifetime.
- Finally, they are easier to clean, they function better and they are the most natural-looking tooth replacement option as compared to other dental procedures.
