At Wyngate Dental of Bethesda, we offer dental implant solutions for patients with missing or damaged teeth. Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth and provide a permanent solution for tooth loss. Our team of experienced dentists will work closely with you to determine the best solution for your individual needs.
Dental implants are a type of artificial tooth root that is placed into the jawbone to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. They are made of titanium, a biocompatible material that fuses with the jawbone to provide a secure and stable base for the replacement tooth. The implant is then covered with a custom-made crown to look and function like a natural tooth.
We use the latest technology and techniques to ensure a comfortable and efficient implant placement process. We also work with experienced specialists in the field to provide you with the best care possible. Our team will also provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your implant to ensure long-term success.
