About dental implants
A dental implant is a small post placed in the jaw to support a replacement tooth or teeth. Annapolis Dental Care offers implant treatment; an examination helps determine whether it is appropriate for you.
Explore your options
A missing tooth can affect your bite, appearance, and everyday comfort. Depending on your needs, your dentist may discuss an implant, bridge, or removable denture. The right choice depends on your oral health and priorities.
A plan built around healing
Implant care generally includes an evaluation, implant placement, a healing period, and the final restoration. Some patients need additional care before placement. Your dentist will explain the sequence and expected timing for your case.
Understand the full treatment cost
Ask for an estimate covering the proposed treatment, including any additional procedures and the final replacement tooth. Costs vary by the number of teeth being replaced and the care needed.
Your questions, answered
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.
