Restore your smile and your confidence with permanent dental implants at Laurel Bush Family Dentistry! Dental implants are the most advanced and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. At our dental office in Bel Air, MD, we use this state-of-the-art treatment to restore not only your smile’s appearance but also its full function. Whether you are missing a single tooth or an entire arch, dental implants offer a long-term, reliable way to reclaim your confidence and oral health.
What are Dental Implants?
An implant consists of a small, biocompatible post—typically made of titanium—that is surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as a new tooth root. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. Unlike traditional tooth replacement options, implants prevent the bone loss that occurs after tooth loss, helping you maintain your natural facial structure and a healthy bite.
Top benefits of dental implants include:
- Restorations that look, feel, and function like natural teeth
- Preventing jawbone loss
- Preserving facial structure
- Long-lasting solution with proper care
- Restoring full chewing ability so you can enjoy your favorite foods
- Boosting confidence with a strong, complete smile
Single Dental Implants
If you are missing just one tooth, a single dental implant may be the ideal solution. Instead of relying on a dental bridge—which requires altering the healthy teeth on either side of the gap—a single implant replaces only the missing tooth root. Once the implant post has fully integrated with your jawbone, a custom crown is placed on top.
The final crown restoration is carefully matched in color, shape, and size to your natural teeth, to blend seamlessly with your smile. A single dental implant offers the best of both worlds: the durability of a natural tooth root and the beauty of a natural-looking crown.
All-on-4 Implants
For our patients missing all or most of their teeth, we may recommend All-on-4 dental implants. This innovative technique uses just four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of permanent, non-removable teeth. The All-on-4 implant procedure often allows for a full set of teeth to be placed in a single appointment, providing a dramatic transformation in just one day.
This option is a game-changer for people who want to avoid the discomfort and inconvenience of traditional dentures. With All-on-4, you’ll enjoy stable, secure teeth that won’t slip out of place—giving you the freedom to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Dental implants are an excellent option for many patients, but a comprehensive evaluation with your dentist is the first step. During your consultation, we’ll examine your teeth, gums, and bone structure to determine if you’re a candidate for implants. In some cases, additional preliminary procedures may be recommended to ensure a strong foundation for your new teeth.
