Bow Valley Denture & Implant Centre

Dental implants are artificial roots made of titanium that are inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of a natural tooth. A few strategically placed implants can restore numerous teeth; for example, 3 missing teeth may only need 2 implants, and 4 implants can fully restore a jaw missing all teeth.

Complete dentures consist of artificial teeth attached to pink acrylic and are used when all teeth are missing on either the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. Two types are offered: immediate dentures placed right after extraction, and conventional dentures made as a replacement set.

Partial dentures consist of artificial teeth attached to pink acrylic, often connected to a metal framework. Two types are offered: acrylic dentures (temporary) and cast partial dentures (with a custom-fitted metal frame for better fit and durability).

Complimentary consultations are offered to discuss options and answer questions about denture and implant treatments.

Mobile denture services are provided to senior homes and hospitals in Canmore and Banff at no travel cost, including Origin at Spring Creek, Bow River Senior Citizens Lodge, Golden Eagle View, Canmore General Hospital, Mount Edith House, and St Martha's in Banff-Mineral Springs Hospital.

Night guards absorb and disperse the force from clenching or grinding, protecting tooth enamel and relieving tension in jaw muscles.

Mouthguards help cushion blows that might otherwise cause broken teeth and injuries to the lips, tongue, face, or jaw, and may reduce the severity and incidence of concussions.

Denture reline is the process of making an existing denture fit better using acrylic. It is typically needed every 2-3 years due to bone resorption. The reline is completed onsite in the attached laboratory, usually the same day.

The clinic can fix cracked or fractured dentures, with simple repairs often completed in an hour. Tooth additions can be done in 2-3 hours, allowing a new artificial tooth to be added to an existing denture.
