Dental Implants in Towson

Initial Dental Implant Consultation

To start your treatment, you’ll have a consultation with Dr. Genc. This discussion lets her (and our whole team) confirm your treatment goals, the state of your oral health, and other key factors. Through such information, we can confirm whether dental implants would suit you.

You needn’t panic if you don’t initially qualify for implants. After all, we can provide preliminary services – tooth extractions, periodontal therapy, etc. – that’d make you a good candidate later. Such dental work would ensure you have a mouth (and jaw) strong enough for implant posts.

Dental Implant Surgery

The consultation gives way to implant surgery if we approve your care. In that scenario, Dr. Genc relies on her education and skills to perform the placement work herself.

Every implant surgery involves the following:

• Anesthesia –Dr. Genc will numb your mouth (with anesthesia) before surgery starts. In doing so, she’ll ensure you enjoy pain-free care.
• Incision(s) – Once the anesthesia “kicks in,” we’ll make a gum incision at the treatment site. This cut creates room in your mouth for the actual implant post.
• Implant Placement – Using advanced tools and methods, Dr. Genc will place your implant precisely and carefully. The result will be a new and effective replacement tooth!
• Gum Closure – Dr. Genc will close your incision after placing the implant. Afterward, she’ll set a cap over the post.

If you decide to get same-day implants, your treatment will largely end after the surgery. You won’t have to wait months on end for your completed replacement teeth.

Dental Implant Osseointegration & Abutment

Your dental implant(s) will start fusing with your jaw shortly after surgery. Through this 4-6 month process of “osseointegration,” these posts will stabilize and grow secure. The new “tooth” (or “teeth”) will then become permanently affixed to your mouth.

After your implant fully fuses, you’ll return to our office for a follow-up surgery. This latter procedure places an abutment – a metal connector – over your base post. While you recover from this placement, a dental lab will craft your final restoration.

Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s)

Dr. Genc will set your final restoration on your implant post to conclude the treatment. Overall, this device can vary; what you get will depend on how many teeth you lost. It could be as simple as a dental crown, or it might be an implant bridge or an implant denture.

Whatever your restoration, fitting it won’t take long. We merely have to apply dental cement to your abutment, set the device, and make some final adjustments. Once those tasks are taken care of, you can enjoy your fully restored smile!

Day-to-Day Benefits

Here are a few of the benefits of dental implants in Towson that you’ll notice first:

• Improved Bite Strength – Since dental implants are secured to your jawbone and topped with durable restorations, they restore more chewing strength than traditional bridges and dentures. In other words, you can say goodbye to the days of eating the same soft, bland foods on repeat!
• Lifelike Appearance – Not only are there no metal attachments or plates, but dental implants don’t slip or slide because they are anchored to your jawbone. So, you can have peace of mind knowing that they won’t draw any unwanted attention to your smile.
• Restored Speaking Patterns – Following tooth loss, have you found it difficult to enunciate clearly? If so, you’ll be happy to hear that dental implants allow for clearer speech since they are stable, they can replace any number of missing teeth, and they don’t restrict tongue movement.

Health Benefits

Choosing to face tooth loss with dental implants can also benefit your oral and overall health by:

• Preventing Dental Drift – Although dental drift may not seem like a big deal, it can lead to chronic jaw pain, premature wear, and several other issues. Fortunately, we can replace any teeth that you have lost with dental implants before that happens.
• Allowing You to Eat Well-Balanced Meals – As we mentioned above, you won’t have to stick to a soft foods diet if you choose dental implants. Instead, you’ll be able to eat nutrient-dense, well-balanced meals, benefiting your oral and overall health in the process.
• Preserving Your Jawbone – Dental implants are the only tooth-replacement solution that is anchored to your jawbone. This provides stimulation when you chew, which, in turn, helps prevent bone loss as well as further tooth loss.

Long-Term Benefits

There are several long-term benefits that come with dental implants as well, including that:

• They Have a High Success Rate – Dental implants have an impressive success rate of over 95%. To ensure yours last, we will share what you can do to avoid failure, like not smoking.
• They Are Cost-Effective – Oftentimes, patients assume that dental implants aren’t cost-effective. However, they can last for 30+ years with proper care, making them a great choice for your smile and your wallet!
• They Are Easy to Maintain – You can care for your dental implants the same way that you care for your natural teeth, like brushing your teeth twice a day and scheduling a dental cleaning every six months.
