The Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, nothing comes closer to the look, feel, and strength of your natural teeth than dental implants. Unlike bridges or removable dentures, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, creating a foundation that is strong, stable, and built to last.

Dental implants are considered the gold standard in modern dentistry because they do more than just replace the visible tooth—they help preserve bone, protect your oral health, and restore full function.

Why Dental Implants Stand Out

  • Stability: Eat, laugh, and speak with confidence—no slipping, no shifting.
  • Longevity: With proper care, implants can last decades, often a lifetime.
  • Preservation: Prevent bone loss in the jaw that occurs when teeth are missing.
  • Natural Appearance: Implants are custom-designed to match your existing teeth.

What the Process Looks Like

  • Consultation & Planning – A full exam, including 3D imaging, to determine if implants are right for you.
  • Placement – The implant post (a small titanium screw) is placed into the jawbone.
  • Healing Phase – The implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
  • Restoration – A crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, completing your smile.

For most patients, the process is straightforward and surprisingly comfortable with modern techniques and sedation options.

Real Stories from Rockville Patients

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Dental implants are an excellent solution if you:

1. Are missing one or more teeth

2. Want a fixed, permanent replacement instead of a removable one

3. Have healthy gums and adequate bone support (or are willing to consider bone grafting if needed)

4. Value long-term stability over quick fixes

Questions & Answers about Dental Implants

1. Are dental implants painful?

Most patients report only mild discomfort after placement, similar to a tooth extraction. With modern anesthesia, the procedure itself is virtually painless.

2. How long does the process take?

 On average, 3–6 months from placement to final restoration, depending on healing and individual needs.

3. How successful are implants?

Success rates are around 95% or higher when placed by an experienced dentist and cared for properly.

4. Can implants replace more than one tooth?

Yes. Implants can support a single crown, a bridge for multiple teeth, or even a full arch of teeth with implant-supported dentures.

5. What if I don’t have enough bone?

Bone grafting or advanced techniques (like All-on-4® implants) can make implants possible even for patients with significant bone loss.
