Dental Implants in Annapolis, MD

If you are missing some or all of your teeth, we have dental implant options that will work for you. We understand tooth loss can be disheartening, making it difficult to laugh, smile, eat your favorite foods, and enjoy life. 

Dr. Polizois takes excellent care to stabilize your bite and provide natural-looking restoration teeth in Annapolis, MD. We want you to be able to laugh and smile again with confidence and improve your diet with a balanced bite.

At Chesapeake Bay Dentistry, we have the gentlest team around and always thoroughly anesthetize the treatment area. But if you need a little extra to keep you relaxed and comfortable during implant placement, we offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation options. 

How Dental Implants Work

A dental implant is a small post or replacement root made of sturdy titanium. This post is surgically placed in your gum and bonds with your jawbone over months. When this bonding is complete, your implant post is ready for a life-like new tooth or restoration appliances like a dental bridge or implant-supported denture.

Replacing your tooth root stimulates your jawbone and prevents bone loss, which supports your facial muscles and sustains facial symmetry. 

Implants also prevent the teeth from migrating or shifting in the mouth, bite misalignments, enamel wear, and further tooth loss.

1. A Seamless Smile 

Dr. Polizois uses the latest techniques and technologies to provide natural-looking dental implant teeth in Annapolis, MD. These implants blend seamlessly with your smile because the restoration teeth are colored and shaped to match your teeth. No one will recognize that you’ve had a few dental implants, and you’ll likely not consider the new tooth an implant as time goes by because it does not require special upkeep.

2. Renewed Confidence

Laughing with ease is an essential aspect of living life to the fullest. You don’t want to continually feel held back by missing teeth. You need the freedom to smile and laugh out loud when life events dictate. You want to have the confidence to seek that job promotion or speak in public without a second thought. And dental implants can do all of this and more for you. 

3. A Stable Bite

Dental implants are the gold standard in restorative dentistry because they are strong, look natural, and function similarly to real teeth. A dental implant stabilizes your bite by preventing shifting and by giving your bite more power, allowing you to eat your favorite foods again.

All-on-4® for Full Mouth Restoration in Annapolis, MD 

All-on-4® in Annapolis, MD, restores your bite and your smile. Also called implant-supported dentures, All-on-4s do not look like dentures at all! They’re affixed, natural-looking, and stable––meaning they don’t slip or shift when you speak or eat. With All-on-4 dental implants, there is never a reason for adhesives or adjustments. 

Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants do not require special tools like threaders or adhesives. You brush and floss your implants the same way you do your natural teeth. You also visit your dentist at least twice per year for dental exams and teeth cleanings—again, the same recommendation applies if you do not have dental implants.

During your dental exams in Annapolis, your dentist checks your teeth and implants and looks for emerging oral health conditions that may pose a threat. He treats those issues and restores your oral health. A dental cleaning removes the bacteria that lead to decay, periodontal disease, and restoration failure.

Proper care ensures that your remaining teeth and implants can last for life!
