Improving Smiles in Calgary and Surrounding Areas of Alberta

If you have a missing tooth, you understand the impact it can have on your confidence and self-esteem. While a missing tooth may be charming and exciting as a child, it can cause the opposite feelings as an adult.

Dental implants offer a permanent solution to replace your missing tooth or teeth. They are custom-made from porcelain to match your natural teeth and seamlessly blend in with your smile. Unlike dentures, dental implants are a permanent solution that won’t fall out while you are talking or eating.

The dental implant process consists of two parts: an artificial root and a porcelain crown. The titanium root is securely implanted into your jawbone without impacting your other teeth. After the implant heals, a porcelain crown is then placed on top to create a tooth that looks and feels natural.

If you are missing one or more teeth and are interested in dental implants, Dr. Silver and his team at Southcentre Dental Clinic are available to help. We proudly serve residents of Calgary and surrounding areas in Alberta.
