If you’re living with missing teeth, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options. At Fenton Family Dental in Silver Spring, MD, we provide transformative dental implant solutions that restore both the appearance and function of your smile. Dental implants are a trusted, long-lasting treatment for patients seeking a confident, healthy smile that feels and looks like natural teeth.
Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, our experienced team is here to guide you through a life-changing journey toward better oral health.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These posts act as artificial tooth roots, providing a strong, stable foundation for a replacement crown, bridge, or denture. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, making it a permanent part of your smile.
Unlike traditional tooth replacement options, dental implants replace the entire structure of a missing tooth—from root to crown—offering unmatched stability and functionality. They prevent jawbone deterioration, maintain facial structure, and allow you to eat, speak, and smile with total confidence.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard in tooth replacement. Here’s why so many patients choose this solution:
- They look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
- They help preserve jawbone density and facial structure.
- They allow you to eat your favorite foods without restriction.
- They don’t require altering healthy adjacent teeth.
- They can last decades or even a lifetime with proper care.
Whether you’re replacing one tooth or restoring your full smile, implants offer a level of security and longevity that other options simply can’t match.
Who’s A Good Candidate For Implants?
Most healthy adults with missing teeth are potential candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates should have:
- Good oral hygiene habits.
- Adequate jawbone density to support the implant.
- Healthy gums free from active periodontal disease.
- A commitment to follow post-operative care and maintenance.
If you’ve been told in the past that you’re not a candidate due to bone loss, advancements in bone grafting and guided surgery may make implants a viable option today. At Fenton Family Dental, we offer comprehensive evaluations and treatment planning to help you determine the best path forward.
The Dental Implant Process
Your journey to a restored smile begins with a personalized consultation at our Silver Spring, MD, office. Here’s what to expect:
Step 1: Consultation & Imaging
We begin with digital imaging and a thorough examination to assess your oral health and determine the best implant plan.
Step 2: Implant Placement
The titanium post is carefully placed into your jawbone under local anesthesia. We use advanced technology for precision and comfort.
Step 3: Healing & Integration
Over the next few months, the implant naturally fuses with your bone, creating a strong foundation for your new tooth.
Step 4: Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, we attach a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to your implant, completing your new smile.
Throughout the process, our team ensures your comfort, safety, and satisfaction at every step.
