Why Bethesda Patients Choose Our Practice for Dental Implants
Not all dentists who place implants are prosthodontists. This distinction matters significantly when it comes to your long-term outcomes.
The Prosthodontist Difference
A prosthodontist completes an additional 3 years of full-time clinical residency training focused exclusively on tooth replacement and restoration. This specialized education goes far beyond general dentistry, covering advanced implant biomechanics, esthetic design principles, complex case management, and the restoration of challenging anatomies.
Our lead clinician, a specialist, dedicates their entire clinical practice to implant dentistry and complex restorations. Unlike general dentists who offer implants as one service among many (alongside cleanings, fillings, orthodontics, and root canals), prosthodontists focus exclusively on mastering tooth replacement. This focused expertise translates directly into superior outcomes for Bethesda patients.
Placing and Restoring Implants: An Uncommon Advantage
Our specialist possesses a relatively uncommon combination of skills: they both place the dental implant surgically and restore it with the final crown or prosthesis. This integration allows them to maintain complete control over every aspect of your case from initial planning through final delivery.
When a surgeon places an implant and a different dentist restores it, communication can suffer, and compromise may occur. Our specialist eliminates this gap by personally overseeing both phases. They can position the implant optimally for the restoration they'll create, ensuring that surgical placement and restorative design work in perfect harmony.
In-House Dental Laboratory Since 1985
Our practice established its own dental laboratory in 1985, staffed with experienced technicians. This means your restorations are crafted right here, under our direct supervision and quality control. There are no third-party lab delays or communication issues. If adjustments are needed, they happen immediately, same day, ensuring perfect fit and function.
This in-house capability is a significant advantage for Bethesda patients seeking superior craftsmanship and attention to detail.
