Since the discovery of titanium’s biocompatibility in the early 1950’s by Swedish orthopedic surgeon, Professor
Per-Ingvar Brånemark, dental implants have been regarded as the best and most comprehensive solution to
missing teeth. It was, in fact, this discovery that led to the conception of the field of dental implantology, the
popularity of which exploded in the 1980’s. Today, orthodontistsorthodontistsorthodontistsorthodontists inininin SilverSilverSilverSilver SpringSpringSpringSpring and the world over

"One of the first things that people worry about when they lose one or more of their natural teeth is how it
affects their smile. Naturally, they also worry about what kind of aesthetics a replacement tooth will offer
them,” says an orthodontist in Silver Spring. “Dental implants are used to provide fixed support for either a
ceramic tooth crown or a prosthetic dental bridge, the latter in cases where an entire dental arch is being
replaced. The restorations supported by dental implants are expertly fabricated from materials that mimic the
optical and functional properties of real teeth, so you can rest assured that the aesthetic outcomes of any dental
implant treatment will be very good and very natural.”

“The materials from which dental bridges and crowns are made are able to support a very strong and close to
natural bite strength. In fact, dental implants enable you to eat a much greater and healthier variety of foods
than traditional removable dentures,” say Maryland dental implants specialists. “This helps our older patients
to get the nutrition they need in order to remain strong and healthy. It can even help to extend life expectancy!”

“Dental implants are placed permanently in the mouth and function very similarly to your natural teeth. This
means that they cannot be removed and won’t shift around or fall out like removable dentures tend to. As a
result, implants feel far more natural and comfortable to patients,” says an orthodontist in Silver Spring.
“Additionally, they don’t require healthy teeth to be sacrificed in order to provide support for the replacement
tooth, as is the case with conventional dental bridges. Dental implants are free standing, just like your natural
teeth are and this spares the neighboring teeth.”

Dental implants boast a longer lifespan than any other tooth replacement technique. Where conventional
bridges last 10 to 12 years, implants can last 20 to 30 years if not longer. “The better care you take of your new
teeth, the longer they are likely to last you,” says an orthodontist in Silver Spring. “In fact, many patients have
had their implants for 40 years and they’re still going strong! Dental implants don’t tend to require frequent
restoration and replacement like traditional removable dentures do.”

“One of the key benefits of dental implants is that they help to keep the underlying jawbone stimulated and in
doing so, prevent the atrophy that can lead to a weakened bite and premature aging,” explains a MarylandMarylandMarylandMaryland

approaches to replacing missing teeth: dentures and conventional bridges.”
