When you’re missing teeth, even just one, it can cause you to be self-conscious during routine daily activities. Unfortunately, you may feel less comfortable eating meals with others,
because you’re afraid that an inability to chew food properly will be embarrassing. Or you may be reluctant to show your smile in pictures, because you want to avoid capturing the gaps in your smile for posterity. At Bethesda Sedation Dentistry, we believe you deserve a full smile that reflects your true beauty and confidence. Our dentists provide ultra-secure replacement teeth with dental implants, restoring smiles to their natural fullness and function.
The tooth-replacement solution that most closely mimics natural teeth, dental implants are built to last a lifetime. A dental implant consists of two parts: the titanium post, which is implanted into your jawbone, and the restoration, which is the tooth-like structure placed on top. Since titanium is a biocompatible metal, the surrounding jawbone fuses with the implant, resulting in a man-made tooth root that functions similarly to a natural tooth’s root.
Dr. Dougherty, Dr. Shlossberg, and Dr. Klotz are trained and experienced in all phases of implant dentistry, so your care can be centralized at our office. If your mouth is missing teeth, and you’re interested in finding out if dental implants are the right replacement option for you, call our Bethesda office today. One of our dentists will be happy to assess your mouth and discuss dental implant treatment plans with you. Don’t put off enjoying a strong, full smile!
