Dental Implants in Laurel, MD

When a tooth is lost, the effects can extend beyond the visible gap.

Neighboring teeth may gradually shift into the empty space, your bite can change, and chewing may become more difficult. Missing teeth can also affect the way you feel about your smile.

Dental implants offer one way to restore that missing space while helping recreate the look and function of a natural tooth.

Your Dental Implant Experience

Personalized From Evaluation to Restoration

1. Implant Consultation

Your visit begins with a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health. Dr. Vazir will also talk with you about your goals and concerns.

2. Treatment Planning

If dental implants are appropriate, we will explain the recommended treatment and what you can expect at each stage.

3. Implant Placement

The dental implant is positioned in the jawbone to create a stable foundation for the future restoration.

4. Healing Period

The implant needs time to integrate with the surrounding bone before the final restoration is completed.

5. Restore Your Smile

Once the implant is ready, a customized restoration is placed to complete your smile.

Every patient's timeline is different, so your treatment plan will be based on your individual needs.

Single-Tooth Dental Implants

A Complete Solution for One Missing Tooth

If you have lost a single tooth, an implant-supported crown may provide a highly functional and natural-looking replacement.

Unlike a traditional bridge, a single dental implant does not require neighboring teeth to serve as the primary support for the replacement tooth.

The final crown is designed to blend with the surrounding teeth and restore the missing space in your smile.

Implant-Supported Tooth Replacement

Options for Multiple Missing Teeth

Dental implants are not limited to replacing one tooth.

Depending on your oral health and the number of teeth you are missing, implants may be incorporated into a larger restorative treatment plan involving:

Implant-Supported Bridges

Dental implants can support a bridge used to replace several missing teeth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For appropriate patients, implants may provide additional support and stability for a denture.

Comprehensive Restorative Treatment

If you have multiple dental concerns, Dr. Vazir can discuss how implants may fit into a broader plan for restoring your smile.

Dental Care of Laurel Lakes specifically lists implants, crowns, bridges, and dentures among the restorative services offered by the practice.

Are Dental Implants Right for You?

Not everyone is automatically a candidate for dental implants. Your dentist will need to evaluate several factors before recommending treatment.

These may include:

• The health of your teeth and gums
• The amount and condition of available jawbone
• Your overall oral health
• The location of the missing tooth or teeth
• Your medical history
• Your long-term restorative goals

If an implant is not the best option for you, we can discuss other ways to restore your smile, such as bridges or dentures.
