Dental Implants in Baltimore
At Baltimore City Dental Group, we understand that losing a tooth can significantly impact your quality of life, affecting not only your smile but also your ability to eat and speak comfortably. Dental implants are a reliable, long-lasting solution to replace missing teeth, and our highly skilled team is proud to offer this transformative procedure to our patients.
Dental implants consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, a connector known as an abutment, and a custom-made crown that resembles a natural tooth. They offer the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.
Here’s an overview of the dental implant process at Baltimore City Dental Group:
1. Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if dental implants are the right option for you. This involves a thorough examination of your oral health and jawbone density.
2. Treatment Plan: Based on your unique needs and goals, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan. This includes the surgical placement of the implant, abutment, and crown.
3. Implant Surgery: The titanium implant is surgically placed into your jawbone by our experienced dental surgeon. This is done under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort.
4. Healing and Integration: Over several weeks to a few months, the implant will fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong foundation for your new tooth.
5. Placement of the Abutment and Crown: Once the implant has fully integrated with your jawbone, the abutment and custom-made crown are attached to the implant.
6. Follow-up Care: After the completion of your implant procedure, regular check-ups are necessary to ensure the continued health and functionality of your implant.
Dental implants are the closest you can get to healthy, natural teeth. They allow you to live the way you want to – confidently eating, smiling, laughing, talking, and enjoying all of your everyday activities without worrying about your teeth. If you’re considering dental implants in Baltimore, our team at Baltimore City Dental Group is here to guide you through the process and help restore your smile.
