Smile Makeover in Calgary

You'll receive temporary teeth on the same day as your surgery, so you'll never be without teeth. The complete process typically takes 4-6 months from consultation to final restoration. This includes the surgery day, a healing period for implant integration, and the fabrication of your permanent prosthetics. However, you'll have functional, attractive teeth throughout the entire process.

With modern anesthesia and sedation options, the procedure itself is comfortable. We offer IV sedation to ensure you have no memory of the surgery. After the procedure, discomfort is typically manageable with prescribed pain medication and usually subsides within a week. Most patients report that the recovery is much easier than they anticipated, and the results are well worth any temporary discomfort.

Full mouth restoration is the overall treatment category that includes All-on-4 as one option. Full mouth restoration means we're treating both your upper and lower arches. The All-on-4 technique (using 4 implants per arch) is one approach we might use as part of your full mouth restoration. Other approaches include using 5-6 implants per arch or individual implants for each tooth, depending on your specific needs and preferences.

Care for your implant-supported teeth is similar to natural teeth. Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled brush, use a water flosser or special floss threaders to clean around the implants, and attend regular professional cleanings every 3-6 months. Unlike dentures, your teeth don't need to be removed for cleaning. We'll provide detailed instructions and recommend specific products to help you maintain your investment for life.

Yes! One of the greatest benefits of full mouth restoration is the ability to eat almost anything you want. After the initial healing period (1-2 weeks of soft foods), you can gradually return to your normal diet. Once your permanent teeth are in place, you'll have exceptional chewing power - up to 80-90% of natural teeth. Enjoy steak, apples, corn on the cob, and all the foods you may have avoided with dentures or failing teeth.

Absolutely. We use advanced digital smile design technology to create teeth that complement your facial features, skin tone, and personal preferences. Your final prosthetics are custom-crafted from premium porcelain or zirconia materials that mimic the translucency and color variations of natural teeth. We carefully design the gumline and tooth proportions to look completely natural. Most people won't be able to tell they're not your natural teeth - they'll just notice your beautiful, confident smile.

Published long-term studies report high success rates for dental implants placed by experienced surgeons in properly selected patients. We use proven, high-quality materials and techniques to ensure lasting results. Factors that contribute to success include good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, not smoking, and following post-operative care instructions.
