Replacing Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

Missing a tooth—or several—can affect more than just your smile. At Airdrie Oral Surgery, we offer dental implants as a strong, lasting solution to help restore your comfort, function, and confidence.

If you’re ready to eat, speak, and smile without worry, implants may be the right choice for you.

Why Dental Implants?

Dental implants are one of the most reliable ways to replace missing teeth. They’re often chosen because they:

• Feel and function like natural teeth
• Help prevent shifting or bite issues
• Support jawbone health and prevent bone loss
• Are fixed in place—no slipping like dentures
• Can improve both comfort and confidence

Whether you’re missing one tooth or many, we’ll work with you to create a personalized solution.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that’s placed into your jawbone where a tooth used to be. Over time, it bonds with the bone and becomes a stable base for a custom-made replacement tooth—like a crown, bridge, or denture.

What’s the Process Like?

Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation & Planning

We’ll review your health history and take advanced 3D scans to check your bone levels. If needed, we may recommend bone grafting first to strengthen the area.

Implant Placement

The implant is placed surgically under local anesthesia (and sedation if you prefer). It’s a routine, well-tolerated procedure.

Healing Time

Your implant will fuse with your bone over several months. You may use a temporary tooth during this period.

Final Tooth Placement

Once healed, your dentist will attach the final crown, bridge, or denture to complete your smile.

What Can Implants Support?

• Single tooth replacement
• Multi-tooth bridges
• Full-mouth options, including fixed or removable dentures

We’ll work with your dentist to choose what fits your goals best.

What About Pain?

Most patients are surprised by how easy the procedure is. You’ll be numbed and fully supported during surgery. Afterward, mild discomfort is normal—but manageable. We’ll walk you through recovery and be here for any questions.
