  1. Surgical Dentures in Calgary: What You Need to Know Before You Get Them If you're considering dentures and have specific dental needs, surgical dentures might be the solution for you. This advanced option combines the benefits of traditional dentures with the stability and support of dental implants. In this blog, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about surgical dentures in Calgary, who makes a good candidate, and how they can improve your overall quality of life. What Are Surgical Dentures? Surgical dentures, also known as implant-supported dentures, are dentures that are secured in place by dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and may require adhesives to stay in place, surgical dentures are anchored to the jawbone through titanium implants. These implants serve as a sturdy foundation for your dentures, giving them more stability and function. In simple terms, surgical dentures are the perfect combination of the comfort of dentures and the security of dental implants. Who Is a Good Candidate for Surgical Dentures in Calgary? While surgical dentures offer numerous advantages, not everyone is a suitable candidate. Here’s who would benefit most from this treatment: 1. Patients with Significant Tooth Loss: If you’ve lost most or all of your teeth, surgical dentures are a great option. They can restore function and aesthetics in a way that traditional dentures might not be able to. 2. Those Seeking a More Secure Fit: People who struggle with loose or uncomfortable traditional dentures may find that implant- supported dentures provide a more secure fit, making them feel more confident when talking, eating, and smiling.

  2. 3. Patients with Healthy Jawbones: Since dental implants are anchored into the jaw, you’ll need a healthy bone structure to support the implants. If your bone density is insufficient, you might require additional procedures like bone grafting to ensure the implants will be successful. 4. Those Looking for Long-Term Solutions: If you’re tired of worrying about your dentures slipping or needing adhesives, surgical dentures could be a more permanent solution. Implants last for many years, reducing the need for frequent adjustments. How Surgical Dentures Work: The Process Getting surgical dentures in Calgary involves several key steps: 1. Consultation & Planning: The process begins with a consultation with a denturist or dental surgeon. Your oral health will be assessed, and if you’re a candidate, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan. X-rays and scans may be taken to evaluate your jawbone structure. 2. Dental Implant Placement: In the first phase, titanium implants are placed into the jawbone through a surgical procedure. The implants will need time to fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration, which typically takes several months. 3. Fitting the Dentures: Once the implants have fully integrated, a second procedure involves attaching the implant- supported dentures. These dentures are custom-made to fit comfortably and securely over the implants.

  3. 4. Follow-Up & Adjustments: After the dentures are in place, you'll need a few follow-up appointments to ensure everything is functioning properly. It may take some time to get used to the feeling of the implants, but over time, you’ll experience improved comfort and function. Healing Time & Comfort One of the primary concerns for patients considering surgical dentures in Calgary is the healing time. While this procedure involves a longer process compared to traditional dentures, the results are well worth the wait. Healing After Implant Placement: After the implants are placed, it takes about 3-6 months for the implants to properly fuse with your jawbone. During this time, you may be given temporary dentures to wear, ensuring you don’t go without teeth. Comfort & Fit: Once your permanent implant-supported dentures are in place, most patients report significantly improved comfort and stability. These dentures don’t shift or slip like traditional dentures, meaning you can eat your favorite foods with more confidence. The secure fit also reduces the irritation and sore spots that often occur with regular dentures. The Integration of Dentures with Implants One of the key advantages of surgical dentures is the integration of dentures with dental implants. Traditional dentures simply rest on your gums and may require adhesives to stay in place, while implant-supported dentures are secured in the jawbone. This integration offers several benefits: •Improved Stability: With the implants firmly rooted in the jaw, your dentures are much more stable.

  4. •Better Functionality: Implant-supported dentures provide a natural bite and allow for better chewing ability compared to traditional dentures. •Preservation of Bone Health: The implants help stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs when teeth are missing. Cost and Financing Options for Surgical Dentures in Calgary The cost of surgical dentures in Calgary can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure, the number of implants needed, and whether additional treatments (like bone grafting) are required. While the upfront cost is higher than traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures are a long-term investment in your oral health and comfort.
