Dental Implants in Banff
A permanent solution for missing teeth. Dental implants at Rocky Mountain Dental restore your bite, your bone health, and your confidence, with natural looking results built to last.
About Dental Implants
Dental implants can provide a permanent solution for missing teeth. Composed of a titanium post placed directly into the jawbone, they are often used as a substitute for traditional removable dentures, offering a number of advantages that dentures alone cannot match. At Rocky Mountain Dental in Banff, we thoroughly evaluate your oral structures during an initial consultation to determine whether implants are the right fit for you.
What Are Dental Implants
A dental implant consists of three parts, a titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root, an abutment that connects the post to the visible restoration, and a custom crown that matches your natural teeth. Once placed, the titanium post fuses with the jawbone over time, creating a stable, long term foundation that functions much like a natural tooth root.
Who This Helps
Dental implants are a strong option for a wide range of patients dealing with tooth loss.
- Patients missing a single tooth who want a fixed, permanent replacement
- Patients missing multiple teeth who want an alternative to removable dentures
- Denture wearers looking for a more stable, secure solution
- Patients with sufficient jawbone density, or who are candidates for bone grafting first
- Anyone wanting a tooth replacement that is cared for the same way as natural teeth
What Is Included
- A comprehensive consultation and oral evaluation
- Digital imaging to assess bone density and plan implant placement
- Surgical placement of the titanium implant post
- A healing period allowing the implant to fuse with the jawbone
- Placement of the abutment and custom crown once healing is complete
- Follow up visits to confirm fit, function, and comfort

Dr. Khattra has been offering restorative procedures, including the bone grafting sometimes required to prepare for implants, at our Banff clinic for the past 11 years, and continues to pursue extensive training in the field. We walk you through every stage of the process honestly, from your first consultation through to your final restoration, so you always understand what to expect.
What to Expect at Your Visit
- A thorough consultation and evaluation of your oral structures and bone health.
- Digital imaging to confirm whether you are a good candidate for implants.
- A clear treatment plan outlining each stage, including any bone grafting if needed.
- Surgical placement of the implant post under local anaesthetic for comfort.
- A follow up schedule to monitor healing before your final restoration is placed.
Recovery and Aftercare
Healing time after implant placement varies by patient, but most people return to normal activities within a few days, with full fusion between the implant and jawbone taking several months. During this period, we provide clear aftercare guidance, and once the crown is placed, your implant is cared for the same way you care for your natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing, and check-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do dental implants cost?
Cost varies based on the number of implants, any bone grafting needed, and your individual treatment plan. Contact our team for a personalised quote based on your specific needs.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Candidacy depends on factors like jawbone density and overall oral health. A thorough evaluation during your consultation will confirm if implants are right for you.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants are designed to be long lasting, and in many cases can last a lifetime with regular checkups and good oral hygiene.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic for comfort, and most patients report only mild, manageable discomfort during the healing period afterward.
What is the difference between dental implants and dentures?
Dental implants are a fixed, permanent solution anchored in the jawbone, while dentures are removable. Implants also help preserve jawbone density in a way removable dentures do not.
