What Will Be Placed inside the Mouth?

At our Hagerstown dental office, the dental implant process is seamless and effective, starting with implanting the high quality aluminum anchor into the jawbone or mandible. Once it is placed, the replacement tooth, often porcelain, is added, making your teeth look natural and improving your smile!

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

While dental implants are excellent for improved appearance and functionality, our team specifically designs our implants to adhere to the specific structure of your mouth for comfort, appearance, and durability. Giving you a natural look, dental implants can last for years with the right care routine and even help prevent decay from spreading.

Enjoy the Foods You Love

Your speech and diet can be severely affected by missing teeth, which is why dental implants offer a quality solution for many. With a new dental implant from Hagerstown Dentist, you can enjoy the foods you love with little discomfort and pain that comes with eating with missing teeth. Contact us today to get started!

Dentures

Soft Dentures

Made with a softer lining than your average dentures, soft dentures are not made with acrylic and are designed for a comfortable, natural looking option that is also hypoallergenic. Contact us to get started!

Flexible Dentures

Flexible Dentures are a comfortable option that are made with a flexible resin coating on the outer layer. This layer acts as a buffer between the dentures and your gums to give you reduced irritation.

Partial Dentures

As a great solution for multiple missing teeth, partial dentures connect to the base of your gums and can fill the gaps in your teeth to give the appearance of a full set! They are made from acrylic or metal at our first rate dental lab!

Implant Support Dentures

Implant supported dentures give you a more secure hold for your dentures, typically bottom ones, and are anchored to the jaw. This prevents slipping, loosening, and discomfort for a more stable solution.

FAQs About Our Dental Implants

Generally speaking, you can expect the implant procedure to take about 1-2 hours for each implant that is being placed, with a healing time of 3-6 months total. The process for your procedure may take a longer or shorter amount of time depending on a variety of factors including the extent of damage in your mouth, any further issues that get uncovered during the procedure, and any challenges that arise during the implantation process. Believe it or not, this is actually the most rapid healing and recovery time you will find with any medical implant process! Each phase of the process will add a bit of time as well, including the evaluation and preparation phase, the artificial root placement phase, and the recovery time. Don’t hesitate to share all your questions and concerns with your dentist!

Dental implants are an incredible option for many individuals who are facing damaged teeth or gums, cracked teeth, or missing teeth. With a skilled cosmetic dentist on your side, you can expect the implants to be a near perfect match with the color and shadow of your natural teeth. Porcelain crowns typically provide the most realistic looking results in both color and shape of the teeth. The dental lab used to create your dental implants will have the biggest impact on the final appearance. The lab mimics the natural waves and ridges of teeth, along with color matching your teeth, and focuses on the smallest details to make sure you are completely satisfied with the results. At My Hagerstown Dentist, we use a reputable dental lab known for detail and skill to ensure the highest quality results for your implants.

When dentists consider patients for dental implants, there are typically five ground rules to follow that help the most suitable candidates stand out. 1- The teeth and gums should be in good health, to ensure excellent implantation and recovery. 2- The bone needs to be strong and have good density to offer good support to the implants. Dental implants are grafted into the mouth using the existing foundational bone, so if it is not in good health, the implants will not be stable. 3- The patient must have good oral health habits. If they are not caring for their mouth before getting implants, what would make them change the habit after receiving implants? 4- The patient must be a non-smoker or make a commitment to stop smoking. The habit of smoking poses a great risk to oral health and leads to a higher potential for complications and infections. 5- The patient must be able to have patience for the process, as it can often take up to 12 months from start to finish.

If a patient has passed the test and is considered a good candidate for dental implants, the next step is to make sure they know exactly how to care for their implants both immediately after the procedure and in the long-run. For single implants, cosmetic dentists recommend cleaning at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, using a non-abrasive toothpaste to avoid scratching the implants, and brushing very thoroughly under and around the implant crown. It is also important to use a special interdental brush to clean the crevices around your teeth, and to floss once daily with implant-specific floss. While you are able to eat virtually anything once your implants have fully healed, they will last longer and be more durable if you avoid very hard, sticky foods.

Dental implants are an incredible option for many people and provide a lasting solution to damaged or missing teeth. Implants carry a success rate of over 95% and are considered to be the longest-lasting, most reliable teeth replacement solution available. While they are designed to last a lifetime, sometimes implants do need to be replaced. If properly maintained with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, implants can last a lifetime. However, the crown attached to the implant typically needs to be replaced every 15-20 years. Overall, dental implants are the most cost-effective and reliable solution and help patients save a large amount of worry, stress, time, and money.

Immediately following your dental implant surgery, you will be required to only eat soft foods that don’t need very much chewing. The first day after your implants, you should only eat liquid or very soft foods such as pudding, to help prevent biting your tongue or injuring the inside of your mouth due to the numbing agents used. For about the first week after surgery, you can eat soft foods such as rice, eggs, pasta, and macaroni and cheese. After about two weeks, you can start eating tougher and chewier foods again such as meat and vegetables. It is important to be aware of how you are healing, as that will dictate the type of food that is safe for you to eat. It is also vital to avoid chewing on the side with the implant for about 2 weeks or so, to ensure total healing.
