Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth that replace them from the root up, rather than simply covering the gap. According to the Cleveland Clinic, an implant is made up of three parts: a titanium or ceramic post that acts as an artificial tooth root, an abutment that connects the post to your restoration, and the restoration itself — a crown, bridge, or denture. Most implants use titanium because of its ability to fuse with living bone through a process called osseointegration, which typically takes three to nine months depending on how quickly your body heals, following an initial healing period of about a week after placement. The American Dental Association calls implants “one of the biggest advances in dentistry in the past 40 years,” and notes that most patients find a well-placed implant to be secure, stable, and a good replacement for their own tooth.
Patients come to us for dental implants for a variety of reasons. Common signs you may be a good candidate include:
The right approach depends on how many teeth you’re missing and the health of your jawbone. A single-tooth implant is often the most conservative choice when just one tooth needs replacing, since it doesn’t require reshaping neighboring teeth the way a dental bridge does. Patients missing most or all of the teeth in an arch may be better served by All-on-4 implants or an implant-supported denture, both of which restore a full arch while using fewer implants than replacing every tooth individually. For patients with more complex needs — combining missing teeth, damaged teeth, and gum concerns — full mouth reconstruction brings together implants and other restorative treatments into one coordinated plan. We’ll evaluate your jawbone density, remaining teeth, and goals at your consultation so you can choose with confidence.
Cost depends on how many implants you need and whether additional procedures like extractions or bone grafting are part of your treatment plan. Our team verifies your insurance benefits before treatment begins so there are no surprises, and patients without applicable coverage can ask about our in-house membership plan for reduced pricing.
Dental implants are cared for much like natural teeth — brush twice daily, floss carefully around the implant and abutment, and keep up with regular dental checkups and cleanings. With consistent oral hygiene and routine visits, the Cleveland Clinic notes implants can often last a lifetime, while the crown or restoration on top typically lasts around fifteen years before it may need replacement. Avoiding tobacco use is especially important in the months after placement, since it can slow healing and interfere with osseointegration. If a tooth is extracted as part of your treatment, we’ll also walk you through simple aftercare using our general repair and maintenance guidance while the site heals.
We regularly see patients from throughout Glen Burnie, as well as nearby Linthicum, Pasadena, and Brooklyn Park.
Patients typically reach us via MD-10, MD-2, and Interstate 97, connecting easily to Odenton. Our office is located at 1215 Annapolis Rd, Ste 208, Odenton, MD 21113.
Most treatment plans take three to nine months from placement to final restoration, depending on how quickly your jawbone heals, though some patients qualify for a faster timeline.
Most patients report the procedure is more comfortable than expected, with local anesthesia during surgery and only mild soreness managed with over-the-counter pain relief afterward.
No — the ADA notes that general health, not age, is the main factor in candidacy, so many older adults are excellent candidates.
Bone grafting can often build up the site enough to support an implant; we'll discuss whether this applies to you at your consultation.
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, implants can often last a lifetime, while the crown on top typically lasts around fifteen years.
