Replacing & restoring teeth
Am I a candidate for a dental implant?
Your dentist evaluates your medical history, gums, jawbone, and treatment goals. An in-person examination is needed to determine suitability.
How long does implant treatment take?
Timing varies. Healing and any preparatory procedures affect when the final restoration can be placed; your dentist will explain your individual timeline.
Is a crown the same as a filling?
No. A filling restores a portion of a tooth; a crown covers the tooth. Your dentist recommends an option based on the amount and condition of remaining tooth structure.
Will I need more than one visit?
The number of visits depends on your treatment. Ask the office to explain the planned steps and timing for your restoration.
Can you help with a loose denture?
Schedule an examination. Your dentist can evaluate the fit and discuss adjustments, replacement, or other appropriate options.
Are implant-supported dentures an option?
They may be an option for some patients. An evaluation of your health, bone, and treatment goals is needed.
SureSmile & cosmetic dentistry
Can adults get SureSmile?
Adults may be candidates for clear-aligner treatment. Suitability depends on oral health, bite concerns, and the movement required.
How much does SureSmile cost?
The cost depends on the treatment plan. Schedule an evaluation for an estimate and ask the office about your insurance benefits.
Are SureSmile aligners removable?
Yes. SureSmile aligners are removable. Follow your dentist’s instructions for eating, cleaning, daily wear, and changing trays.
Will I need retainers after SureSmile treatment?
Retainers help maintain tooth position after treatment. Your dentist will explain your retention plan and ongoing care.
Do I need veneers to improve my smile?
Veneers are one option. Whitening, aligners, or restorative care may be more suitable depending on your concern and oral health.
How do I start a smile consultation?
Book a visit and describe the changes you want. Your dentist will examine your teeth and discuss appropriate options.
Will whitening change the color of my crowns?
Whitening does not change restorative materials in the same way as natural teeth. Your dentist can help plan around existing restorations.
Can I whiten sensitive teeth?
Ask your dentist before starting. An examination helps identify the cause of sensitivity and an appropriate approach.
Are veneers right for every smile?
No. Your dentist evaluates oral health, bite, and goals before recommending veneers or another approach.
How much do veneers cost?
Costs depend on the number of teeth and treatment plan. An examination is needed for an individualized estimate.
Digital dentistry & impressions

Yes. Annapolis Dental Care uses digital dentistry for treatments that need impressions. Your dentist explains the records needed for your case.
Which treatments can use digital impressions?
Digital impressions can be used in suitable crown, bridge, clear-aligner, and night-guard cases. The records required for dentures or other treatment depend on the individual case.
Does digital dentistry mean same-day crowns?
Not necessarily. Digital impressions describe how records are captured; fabrication and appointment timing depend on the treatment and workflow.
Will I still need a traditional impression?
Some cases may need additional records or a traditional impression. Your dentist will explain the appropriate approach for your treatment.
Botox consultations
Do you offer Botox at Annapolis Dental Care?
Yes. Annapolis Dental Care offers Botox. Book a consultation to discuss your goals and whether treatment is appropriate.
Is Botox permanent?

What should I discuss before Botox treatment?
Share your medical history, medications, allergies, previous injections, and pregnancy or breastfeeding status. Ask about the intended use, alternatives, risks, and aftercare.
