Gold Standard Tooth Replacement in Glen Burnie
When it comes to replacing a missing tooth, nothing comes close to a dental implant. Unlike dentures or bridges, a dental implant replaces the entire tooth — root and all — delivering a permanent, stable, natural-looking result that functions exactly like your own tooth. No slipping. No removing at night. No relying on neighboring teeth for support. Just a complete, confident smile that is built to last a lifetime.
At Evergreen Dental in Glen Burnie, Maryland, we place and restore dental implants entirely in-house — from the surgical placement of the implant to the final crown. No referrals to an outside oral surgeon. No coordinating between multiple offices. Just seamless, expert implant care delivered by a single experienced team using state-of-the-art digital technology, all under one roof.
We offer same-day consultations, extended hours until 7:00 PM, and Sunday appointments — because taking the first step toward restoring your smile should be as easy as possible.

Why Dental Implants Are the Superior Choice
There are several options for replacing missing teeth — including bridges and dentures — but dental implants stand apart for a number of important reasons:
They replace the root, not just the crown
Every other tooth replacement option replaces only the visible part of the tooth. A dental implant replaces the root as well — and that makes an enormous difference. The root is what stimulates the jawbone and keeps it healthy. Without it, the bone begins to resorb, gradually changing the shape of your face and jaw. An implant stops this process entirely.
They are permanent
With proper care, a dental implant can last a lifetime. The titanium post fuses permanently with the bone — it does not need to be replaced, removed, or relined like a denture.
They function like natural teeth
Implants are anchored directly in the bone, which means they are completely stable. You can eat anything you want — including hard, crunchy, and chewy foods — without restriction or worry.
They protect neighboring teeth
A dental bridge requires grinding down the adjacent teeth to create crowns for support. An implant stands entirely on its own — leaving the neighboring teeth completely untouched and preserving their natural structure.
They look completely natural
The custom crown placed on top of the implant is matched precisely to the shade, shape, and size of your surrounding teeth. Most people — including you — will not be able to tell it apart from your natural tooth.
They preserve your facial structure
By preventing bone loss, dental implants help maintain the natural contours of your face and jaw over time — preventing the sunken, aged appearance that can result from tooth loss and bone resorption.
What Can Dental Implants Replace
Single Tooth Implant
A single implant topped with a custom crown is the ideal solution for replacing one missing tooth. It is the most natural-looking and longest-lasting single tooth replacement available — and it has no impact whatsoever on the neighboring teeth.
Multiple Teeth
When two or more consecutive teeth are missing, an implant-supported bridge uses implants as anchors rather than natural teeth. This preserves the integrity of the adjacent teeth while providing a stable, permanent restoration for the gap.
Full Arch Replacement
For patients who are missing all or most of their teeth in one or both arches, implant-supported dentures offer a life-changing solution. A series of strategically placed implants anchor a full arch prosthesis — eliminating the instability of traditional dentures and restoring full chewing function, speech, and confidence.
How Dental Implant Placement and Restoration Works
An Honest Consultation
Your dentist will begin with a one-on-one discussion to understand your needs and determine if dental implants are right for you. After a thorough exam, X-rays, and evaluation of your jaw health, they’ll recommend the best solution—whether that’s implants or another restorative option.
Oral Surgery Procedure
Once approved, your treatment plan is scheduled. During surgery, the dentist gently opens the gum tissue and precisely places the implant into your jawbone. The area is then cleaned and sutured to begin healing.
Healing & Osseointegration
Initial healing typically takes 1–2 weeks. Over the next 3–6 months, a natural process called osseointegration occurs, where the implant fuses securely with your jawbone.
Creating Your Custom Restoration
Follow-up visits ensure proper healing. Your dentist will take detailed impressions, which are sent to a lab to craft your custom crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration.
Final Placement
Once healing is complete and your restoration is ready, your dentist will securely attach it to the implant—restoring both function and appearance.
Maintenance & Aftercare
Maintain your new smile with daily brushing and flossing, and visit your dentist every six months for cleanings and checkups to keep your implant in excellent condition.
