Periodontist in Hunt Valley MD, Dr. Roham Rafat, can restore your teeth to a functional, stable, and lasting smile with dental implants. He is one of the most highly trained periodontists in the Hunt Valley area that offers complete implant dentistry services.

Dental Implant Procedure in Cockeysville, MD

Dr. Rafat will first perform a comprehensive evaluation. This is the best opportunity for you to talk about your dental concerns directly with Dr. Rafat. After you have been cleared for the procedure, he will then create a personalized dental implant treatment plan.

The entire implant process usually takes six to eight months, and most patients don’t experience a disruption in their daily lives. For most patients, the dental implant procedure involves two parts:

Placement of the implant

The first step is the surgical placement of the dental implant. Dr. Rafat will surgically place the tooth implant post into your jaw bone. It looks like a tiny titanium screw or post. A dental implant actually replaces the root of the missing tooth.

Through the process of osseointegration, the dental implant fuses to the bone to form a stable bond. The healing process can take several months. Depending on your case and the position of the missing tooth or teeth, a temporary dental crown may be placed on the post while the dental implant heals.

Dental Implant Restoration

The second part of the dental implant procedure involves the implant restoration. Once the dental implant has healed and integrated with the surrounding bone, Dr. Rafat will uncover the dental implant and attach an abutment. The replacement tooth or teeth will be attached to the abutment to restore beauty and function.

For a single missing tooth, Dr. Rafat will use a dental crown to cap the implant. For multiple missing teeth, he may recommend a dental bridge or implant-supported denture.

The staff are all very friendly and make you feel right at home. I especially love Tiffany at the front desk, she’s the best! I have been coming here for about 6 years now and haven’t had any complaints. I got to meet Dr. Gear and she was fantastic. She took her time to explain the preventive care that was being suggested, answered all of my questions in great detail, and diligently and quickly did my fill in. I highly recommend this dental office!!
