Dental Implants in
Germantown, Maryland

Dental implants are small titanium posts that serve as replacements for the root portions of missing natural teeth. Because of the biocompatible properties of titanium, dental implants fuse with the surrounding bone to become solid anchors for the crown, bridge, or denture that goes on top of it (called a dental implant restoration).

Germantown dentist Dr. Thy B. Nguyen is a Diplomate of the International Dental Implant Association and has completed advanced training in the placement and restoration of dental implants, bone grafting and sinus lifts. He can provide all of your implant treatment right here at Crown Dental Care!

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants may be small, but they can make a big difference in almost every area of your life. With implants, you’ll enjoy:

• More comfort than removable dentures
• Clearer speech with no clicking or slipping
• More convenience (no messy adhesives!)
• An improved appearance of your lips and face
• All of your favorite foods (and better nutrition)
• More stable and secure dentures (no worry of dentures falling out)
• Preservation and stimulation of surrounding bone
• Longest-lasting restorative option in dentistry

And the most important benefit of dental implants: a boost in your self-esteem. It’s never too late to feel confident showing off your smile!

Types of Dental Implants

Dental implants are used to replace one or multiple missing teeth, and they’re also an effective way to anchor dentures so you can enjoy your favorite foods again. Whether you’re missing one tooth or all of your teeth, there’s an implant option for you!

Are Dental Implants Right for Me?

Implants can be a life-changer for people with advanced tooth decay, root canal failure, trauma to the mouth, or extreme natural wear and tear on teeth. The implant process can be more complicated for individuals with gum disease, active diabetes, and immune deficiencies, and for people who smoke or chew tobacco. Dr. Nguyen will consult with you about your medical history and oral health habits to help you decide if implants are right for you.
