Implants MD - Your dental work options in Maryland

While dentures might be the first thing you think about for replacing lost teeth, you should be aware of other available options. Knowing your alternatives allows you to make an informed choice about your situation. You will need to consider the benefits of each dental procedure including cost, appearance, and durability.

Dentures appeal to many people because they are simple to maintain and they can be easily removed. In addition, they tend to be the least expensive option for permanent tooth replacement. Some people, however, experience issues keeping their dentures securely in place. In addition, it can be a challenge to find dentures that look natural.

A dental bridge created by one of Maryland’s most experienced dental professionals provides a non-surgical method for replacing missing teeth. Dental bridges can be fabricated with or without metal showing, such as a Maryalnd bridge or a Conventional bridge. Your dentist can determine which type will give you the best comfort and a natural look. A dental bridge is permanently affixed, so you’ll never have to worry about the bridge slipping or have to remove it for cleaning. You will feel secure about your appearance when you laugh and smile, and more confident when eating.

Another option in MD for tooth replacement is dental implants. Although this method involves surgery, it can usually be completed in two to four visits. During the implant surgery, a titanium screw is implanted into your jawbone. This post acts as an anchor for the crown that will be installed later. You’ll have a waiting period of about four months for an implant to integrate. During this time your bone will graft around the screw, securely anchoring the post. Once the healing process is completed, your dentist will make a mold of your bite and order a dental crown customized to the color of the surrounding teeth.

While dental bridges and implants typically cost more than dentures, the durability, comfort, increase in confidence, and low maintenance make them worthy investments.
