Replace Your Missing Teeth with Dependable and Natural-looking Dental Implants
Dental implants in Windsor Mill, Maryland, are advanced teeth replacement options for replacing one or multiple teeth. Unlike dental bridges or dentures placed above the gums, implants are anchored directly in the jawbone. This design creates exceptional stability for your new teeth—dental implants never slip or fall out when eating or talking.
When you lose your natural tooth, it doesn’t mean you lose your confidence and oral function. Schedule an appointment with Edmondson Family Dental Care for high-quality dental implants expertly placed by Dr. Jon Edmondson and his team.
What are dental implants?
When you have lost teeth, you’ve several options to fill the edentulous gap. A dental bridge works but involves altering healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Dentures are economical, but they become loose and uncomfortable over time.
A dental implant replaces your missing teeth by replicating the structural design of your natural tooth. The implant itself is a biocompatible titanium post inserted in the jawbone. Over time, the screw-like fixture bonds with the jawbone to become as stable as the natural tooth. The dentist completes the implant by placing a customized, natural-looking crown. The result is a highly aesthetic, functional tooth.
How are dental implants placed?
Your treatment starts with a comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Edmondson. We’ll discuss your expectations and use advanced imaging tools, including Panorex, to examine your jaws and teeth. This allows the dentist to determine the optimal location, angle, and depth to place the implant while avoiding damage to the nearby nerves and sinuses.
The implant surgery is delicate, but our dentist is up to the task. We use precision techniques and state-of-the-art materials to ensure your implant is functional, durable, and aesthetically appealing. The implant should also be optimally placed to work in sync with other teeth.
After surgery, the dentist will leave the implant to heal and fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration. Once the implants are fully integrated with the jawbone, you’ll return to our office to attach a small metal connector (abutment) to your implant. The final process is to restore your implant with a natural-looking dental crown. A bridge or denture is used to restore multiple teeth.
Patients love dental implants because of their long life. With proper maintenance, dental implants last many years and even a lifetime. So, investing in dental implants is a lifetime investment in your smile and confidence.
