Regain Your Smile Confidence
Dental implants are one of the more popular types of dental procedures for tooth replacement in our office. We offer a more comfortable, natural-feeling, and real-looking option for missing teeth with dental implants. Other types of replacement teeth options don’t even come close!
Dental bridges, traditional dentures, and partial dentures all require adjustment to speak properly. They also require more maintenance and repair than dental implants need in their lifetime. However, dental implant placements are one of the most popular restorative procedures at our dental office.
With the latest advances in dental implants, many people missing teeth can now qualify for treatment. Dr. Doroshenko, a top local dentist specializing in implants, helps patients regain their smiles and enhance their lives. Implant-supported dentures or bridges can let you eat your favorite foods again and speak clearly with confidence.
Your first step to a new smile is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Doroshenko at Cosmetic and Advanced Dentistry. Learn more about dental implants and your treatment choices in Owings Mills, MD, today.
WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental implants are artificial teeth that replace both the part you can see and the root of a missing tooth. This complete replacement can improve oral health and quality of life more than traditional methods.
THE THREE PART DENTAL IMPLANT SYSTEM
Dental implants are artificial teeth that replace both the part you can see and the root of a missing tooth. This complete replacement can improve oral health and quality of life more than traditional methods.
WHY DENTAL IMPLANTS?
This restorative procedure has many advantages that go beyond replacing missing teeth. Some of the most common include:
o1. They’re natural. The dental implant will fuse to the bone and become a natural part of your jaw.
Implants are not removable. You do not need to remove implant placements for any reason. Dental implants bond with living bone, so you can eat, smile, talk, and brush normally.
o2. Superior function. A removable denture will only support 5% or 10% of your chewing and biting force. Dental implants allow you to chew normally without worrying about damage.
o3. Long-lasting results. Dental implants have a documented success rate of more than 97%! They will last for decades, far beyond the life span of a bridge or denture.
o4. Ultimate stability. A dental implant won’t drift or move around in your mouth like removable dentures.
o5. Conservative restoration. Our dentist doesn’t need to trim down adjacent teeth or use them to support a replacement tooth.
Overall, dental implants will enhance your oral health and improve your overall quality of life. With a high success rate and long-term strength, implants offer a cost-effective investment in your dental health.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ask us
anything
Do dental implants get cavities?
No, dental implants themselves do not get cavities. The materials used in implants are not susceptible to decay. However, it’s still important to maintain good oral hygiene because the surrounding gum tissue and any natural teeth can develop gum disease or cavities.
Can you get an implant years after tooth extraction?
Yes, you can get a dental implant years after an extraction. However, if significant time has passed, you may have experienced bone loss in the jaw where the tooth was extracted. In such cases, we might recommend a bone graft to build up the bone before placing the implant. After evaluating your jawbone and oral health, we’ll determine the best approach to ensure the implant is successful.
Can I get dental implants while pregnant?
We generally recommend that you do not get dental implants while pregnant. The procedure involves X-rays and anesthesia, which usually aren’t recommended for pregnant women. Furthermore, the stress of surgery and recovery can also pose risks. If possible, it’s better to wait until after giving birth to get dental implants. In the meantime, we can suggest temporary solutions to manage any dental issues and concerns.
Can bone graft be done with dental implants?
Yes, we can do a bone graft with dental implants. They’re necessary when there’s not enough jaw bone to support an implant. Sometimes, we can perform the bone graft during the same procedure as the implant placement, while in other cases, the graft may need time to heal first. The graft provides a strong foundation and increases the implant’s success rate and longevity.
Does plaque build up on tooth implants?
Yes, plaque can build up on dental implants, just like on natural teeth. Although the implant won’t decay, plaque buildup can lead to gum inflammation or infection. The plaque can also lead to peri-implantitis—a condition similar to gum disease but affecting the tissue around the implant. To prevent plaque buildup, you should brush, floss, and use an antimicrobial mouthwash regularly.
How much swelling is normal after dental implants?
It’s normal to experience some swelling after dental implant surgery. It usually peaks 48 to 72 hours after the procedure. The swelling should gradually decrease over the next few days and typically resolves within a week.
