- Dental ExaminationAfter a dental exam is completed, our dentist will schedule your dental implant procedure. The implant surgery usually takes about 1-2 hours for each placement. The total time that your Annapolis dental implant procedure will take will depend on the number of dental implants you are receiving.
- X-raysPanoramic X-rays, or pano for short, are a great way to see the whole picture in dentistry. Not only are we able to evaluate the health of the teeth and surrounding bone, but the nasal cavities and mandibular nerve. Panos are also utilized in 3D mapping for dental implant placement.

- VeneersAesthetic veneers are custom-made shells that go over your natural teeth to help enhance their appearance. They are typically made from medical grade ceramics like porcelain, which look exceptionally realistic and are very hard to tell from natural teeth. They are commonly used to repair damaged, crooked, or chipped teeth but can also be used as a cosmetic remedy.
- CrownsDental crowns are used for both restorative and cosmetic purposes and can play an important role in the long term maintenance of a healthy and functional smile.
- BridgesDental bridges are an effective restorative dental procedure. This involves the placement of a bridge that is designed to take the place of multiple teeth. A bridge may be utilized if you have three or more consecutive teeth missing. They offer fast recovery.
- Dental BondingDental bonding is a procedure where a dental professional applies a moldable resin to the tooth and cures it with UV (ultraviolet) light to harden it. The excess parts are then trimmed, shaped, and polished to mimic the appearance of natural teeth. Bonding is a safer alternative to fix cracks, misshapen teeth, chips, and decay.

- Root Canal TreatmentAnother common restorative dental procedure involves placing a crown. This is typically done after a root canal. Crowns replace the top part of the tooth and prevent bacteria and debris from getting into the inner part of the tooth. They are very durable and, like fillings, are made to blend in with the rest of the tooth. Dental crowns may also be placed for other reasons, such as to hold a partial bridge in place.
- DenturesA complete denture is a removable set of replacement teeth set in a pink, flesh-colored acrylic base. The base for the upper arch, which rests on the gum tissue, also extends over the palate. The base of a lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to accommodate the tongue.

- Maxillofacial SurgeryMany people think that oral and maxillofacial surgery involves wisdom teeth extractions. Although this is one reason to consider the surgery, there are several situations involving this treatment approach. This surgery is performed on different tissues of the mouth. It can be your teeth, gum, jaws,...
- Tooth ExtractionsUnfortunately, it is not always possible to save a tooth. If a tooth is damaged or decayed beyond repair, we may need to perform a tooth extraction. In some cases, we may need to perform multiple tooth extractions to make way for restoration, usually dentures. Once we remove multiple teeth, there may be a brief healing period before we can install a tooth replacement. The type of appliance you receive depends on your circumstance.
- Bone GraftingMost patients are familiar with the term “bone grafting,” but think of those with cancer of the bone and those types of treatments. They might be surprised to find out that bone grafts are one of the most frequently utilized surgical procedures for the mouth. Typically bone grafts are used to treat common problems with the temporomandibular joint which is more widely known by the initials TMJ. Problems with TMJ can be caused by trauma or simple wear and tear. It is a joint like any other and can have problems naturally. Some of the symptoms can include difficulty chewing or speaking.
