Immediate Dental Implants in Frederick, MD

Dental implants are ideal solutions for people who have a missing tooth. For many years, the only treatment options available for people with missing teeth were bridges and dentures, but today, dental implants are available.

Dental implants are replacement tooth roots and they provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

A dental implant resembles a natural tooth in the aspect that there is a root (below the gums) and a crown (above the gums). The difference is that the implant is made of surgical-grade titanium, the same time-tested material used by surgeons for artificial joints for many years. Once the implant is placed, time is allowed for the jawbone to heal and grow around the dental implant, creating a strong bond. This is important to help anchor and stabilize the implant in place.

Following the placement of the implant, a support post (abutment) is then placed on top where a new replacement tooth (crown) sits on top of the abutment. In many cases, a temporary replacement tooth can be attached to the top of the implant immediately after placement.

Most people who have received dental implants say that there is very little discomfort involved in the procedure. Local anesthesia can be used during the procedure and most patients report that implants involved less pain than a tooth extraction. After a dental implant, patients may experience mild soreness and bruising to the face/cheek. The discomfort can generally be treated with over-the-counter pain medications.

If all of your teeth are missing, we have a variety of treatment options available to support the replacement teeth.

  • There are many advantages of Dental Implants including:

    Improved appearance- dental implants look and feel like your own teeth.

    Improved speech- Unlike poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that your teeth might slip.

    Easier eating- Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult, dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat with confidence and without pain.

    Improved self-esteem- Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.

    Improved oral health- Dental implants don’t require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health.

    Durability- Implants are designed to last many years and are very durable. With good oral care, many implants can last a lifetime.

    Convenience- Dental implants do not require any special solution or adhesive like dentures do. The level of care they require is what you would already do for your real teeth.

IMMEDIATE DENTAL IMPLANTS

  • Immediate extraction & immediate implant is a revolutionary restorative procedure which fits patients with a dental implant directly following tooth extraction within the same appointment. Traditionally, patients waited a minimum of six months for the extraction site to heal before receiving a dental implant. At The Wobbly Tooth Dental Practice, however, qualified patients can enjoy a complete, load-bearing implant the same day as extraction.

  • Patients who receive an immediate extraction and an immediate implant will enjoy:

    Tooth Extraction and dental implant in one procedure

    • An immediate functioning load-bearing implant

    • Reduced Recovery following surgery

    • More aesthetic results due to preservation of their natural gum tissue

  • Before the immediate extraction & immediate implant procedure was developed, patients needed the extraction socket to heal before an implant could be placed in the space provided. This healing process takes approximately 4 to 6 months, but thanks to the constantly advancing field of dentistry, waiting until the extraction site heals is no longer necessary in certain cases.

    Dental bone is naturally pre-programmed to fill an extraction socket, so by placing the dental implant immediately following extraction, the implant is simultaneously anchored with the bone and healed into the socket from this natural healing process. Most importantly, it does not allow the gum tissues to remodel, therefore preserving the patient’s esthetics.
