Dental Implants in Calgary
The gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Permanent, natural-looking dental implants with a 98% success rate at London Square Dental Centre.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, they support crowns, bridges, or dentures that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They are the most advanced and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth.
At London Square Dental Centre, our experienced team uses state-of-the-art 3D imaging and precision planning to place implants with the highest accuracy and success rate. We have helped hundreds of Calgary patients restore their smiles and confidence with dental implants.
Benefits of Dental Implants
The Implant Process
Consultation & Planning
We perform a thorough examination including 3D imaging to assess your bone structure, plan the optimal implant placement, and discuss your treatment options and timeline.
Implant Placement
A small titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation. This serves as the root of your new tooth. The procedure is typically comfortable with minimal discomfort.
Healing & Osseointegration
Over the next 3 to 6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates an incredibly strong, stable foundation for your new tooth.
Abutment & Crown Placement
Once healed, we attach an abutment (connector piece) and a custom-made crown that matches the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth. The result is a beautiful, functional tooth.
Types of Dental Implants We Offer
Single Tooth Implant
Replaces one missing tooth with a single implant post and crown. The ideal solution when surrounding teeth are healthy and do not need treatment.
Implant-Supported Bridge
Replaces multiple missing teeth in a row using two or more implants to support a bridge. More stable and long-lasting than traditional removable bridges.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Secures a full or partial denture with implants for dramatically improved stability, comfort, and chewing ability. No more slipping or adhesives.
All-on-4 Full Arch Restoration
Replaces an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. A fixed, permanent solution for patients missing all teeth in one or both arches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with good general health are candidates for dental implants. You need adequate jawbone density to support the implant, but bone grafting can often address insufficient bone. We assess each patient individually during the consultation.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear, but the implant itself is designed to be permanent.
Is the implant procedure painful?
Most patients report that the procedure is more comfortable than they expected. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options to ensure you are completely comfortable. Post-operative discomfort is typically managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost varies depending on the number of implants, whether bone grafting is needed, and the type of restoration. We follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide and offer 0% interest financing to make implants affordable. A consultation will provide you with a detailed cost estimate.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of dental implant treatment. We direct bill to your insurance provider and help you understand your coverage before treatment begins.
