Calgary Restorative Dentistry

Implants are made of titanium and are strategically placed into the bone where the tooth roots once were. Once properly attached to the bone (osseointegration), we can place the proper restoration on top, such as a crown, bridge, or denture.

A dental bridge is a restorative option for missing teeth to use adjacent teeth as anchors and connecting them to fabricate a single-unit prosthesis.

Benefits of replacing missing teeth with a Dental Bridge:

• Restore function and chewing ability
• Esthetics
• Prevent shifting and uneven wear of teeth

It is best to replace teeth as soon as possible to prevent negative outcomes.

Crowns are restorations that fully cover teeth that are compromised, damaged, or at risk of failing. Crowns act as a “helmet” that goes over the tooth, and unlike fillings, they address biting force down the center to prevent the fracturing of teeth.

A denture is a removable dental restoration replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth and may even enhance your smile.

There are two types of dentures – complete and partial dentures. Complete Calgary dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. A partial denture not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents other teeth from shifting.

One of the most common reasons to visit your Calgary AB Dentist is to get a filling placed. Often it is due to cavities or chips being discovered at your routine check-up. These fillings tend to be minor and preventative.

It is important to catch cavities in the early stages so we can avoid bigger problems and more tooth structure loss. When cavities are allowed to get larger, the tooth may now require more than a filling. It could potentially require a root canal and/or dental crown in NE Calgary.
