How Dental Implants Rebuild Your Smile

How Dental Implants Rebuild Your Smile

At Frederick Dental Group, our entire team is committed to our patients looking and feeling their best. Good overall health includes a complete smile. In their Frederick, MD, practice, Dr. Dave Verma and Dr. Arpana Verma place many dental implants and rebuilding lives and smiles one tooth at a time.

Tooth loss is heartbreaking in many ways. Your smile becomes spaced and your bite is weakened as teeth drift. This could cause teeth to lose bone and loosen over time as well as cause a permanent collapse of the bite.

If you're anticipating dental extractions or already have missing teeth, let our dentists recover your smile. Good planning prevents a poor outcome and lets us engineer your function to be as stable as possible going forward. Dental implants may be surgically placed singly or in groups to support bridges or dentures.

Dr. Dave Verma or Dr. Arpana Verma will consult with you about your specific needs. A complete oral exam and digital imaging can confirm if implants are right for you. It allows us to analyze the quality and availability of your bone to support implants. If they are, expect a treatment plan tailored to your particular needs and situation.

Dental implants are screw-like devices that replace your natural tooth roots. In our Frederick, MD, office, your dentist will insert the implant where your natural tooth once stood. Guided planning allows oral surgery to be comfortable, usually completed under a local anesthetic.

Over the healing period, your jaw bone adheres to the implant. Dentists call this bonding activity osseointegration. Once osseointegration is complete, your implant receives structural components that allow it to support a porcelain crown to complete your new tooth.

Advantages of dental implants

  • Most implants readily bond to bone. In fact, the American College of Prosthodontists says that upwards of 95 percent of dental implant treatments succeed and are retained for decades with appropriate care.
  • You avoid the inconveniences of dentures or partials -- that is, appliance slippage, poor biting and chewing power, and that nasty denture adhesive.
  • Implants cannot decay.
  • Patients say their implants resemble real teeth in every way -- appearance, performance, and even how they feel.
  • In the long run, dental implants are cost-sparing. Brush and floss your dental implants just as you do natural teeth. Good home care ensures that your implants, like your natural teeth, will last for years. Implants can require more frequent maintenance visits in some cases and our office will partner with you to ensure your ongoing health.
