Providing New Options for Those Missing Teeth

Dr. Saby has been studying and restoring dental implants for over 20 years. He is proud to offer this life changing treatment to his patients in the Red Deer, Alberta community. Implant dentistry technology and treatment is one of the fastest growing areas of dental care today. With dental implants we are now able to replace missing teeth with teeth that are actually attached to the jaw, much like natural teeth! This amazing treatment allows us to provide treatment that before was impossible. Dental implant treatment allows Dr. Saby to correct even the most severe problems associated with missing teeth. If you are missing one or even all your teeth, dental implants may be the treatment for you.

In this case, this patient has gone from upper dentures and non-restorable lower teeth to full fixed upper and lower teeth on dental implants. A transformation that takes him back to the teeth he had when he was younger.

Fixed Teeth, Radical Results

Dental implants are the modern restorative dentistry treatment for missing teeth, and Smiles by Saby is proud to offer this treatment to our Red Deer, Alberta patients. With implant dentistry, Dr. Brian Saby can restore the feel and function of your natural teeth and improve the look of your smile. Unlike past treatments, dental implant restorations become a part of you, just like your natural teeth! Patients who undergo dental implant surgery not only improve their appearance, they leave our office with a stronger and healthier smile. If you are looking for a permanent replacement for missing teeth, dental implants may be the treatment of choice for you.

A dental implant restoration at our Red Deer, Alberta practice involves two steps. First, an implant surgeon will insert one or more dental implants into the patient's jaw. After the dental implant has fused with the bone, Dr. Saby will then attach an artificial tooth to the dental implant and complete the restoration process. The results will appear completely natural and be built to last a lifetime. Dr. Brian Saby and dental specialist Dr. Brian Kucey (prosthodontist) have been working together as a team for over 17 years to produce documented success.

Fixed dental implants are a treatment that we perform for patients in Red Deer and Alberta. Being able to help someone go from loose dentures to fixed teeth, through implant dentistry, is one of the most amazing things that we do.

Fixed Implant Supported Dentures

Most people who wear dentures find that the lower denture causes most of their problems. Today, with dental implants Dr. Saby is able to solve almost all of the problems associated with lower dentures. 

By placing 5 lower implants and fixing a lower denture to a milled titanium framework, we are able to re-create 90% of the function of the lower natural teeth (relative to natural teeth, a great lower denture has relative function ranging from 10-20%).

As one wears dentures, the bone that normally held the teeth in gradually disappears. With implants, the bone no longer dissolves and in some instances, new bone grows.  Even those who suffer from extensive bone loss and would never be able to achieve comfort from a conventional denture can benefit from the stability, comfort, and increased function afforded by dental implant supported dentures.

Implant supported dentures are a treatment that Dr. Saby is able to offer his patients. 

Imagine what life would be like without denture problems.  You will feel younger, chew better, be more comfortable and have more confidence.  This solution to denture problems is only a phone call away!

Even with extensive loss of the lower jaw bone, Dr. Saby was able to have implants placed and restore function with five lower implants and a fixed lower denture.

Other Implant Dentistry Options

In some cases, a totally fixed solution may not be the treatment for you. In these situations, there are a variety of options available such as removable dentures with implant supports. This is a more economical alternative to fixed dental implants. Fewer dental implants are placed and the denture or partial denture is attached to the implants by precision attachments. The dentures do not move during chewing, laughing, or speaking.

For more information about dental implants, contact Dr. Saby's Red Deer, Alberta office to arrange a complimentary implant dentistry consultation, or visit the Alberta Implant Centre site. If you have missing teeth and would like to have your teeth replaced with fixed teeth that are as close to natural as possible, you are likely a good implant dentistry candidate.
