What Are Dental Implants? Ask Dr. Zebrowski in Greenbelt, MD

If you’re missing one or more teeth, Robert Zebrowski, D.D.S., of Greenbelt can use dental implants to help restore your flawless smile. A dental implant consists of a small piece of metal which is surgically implanted in the jawbone, essentially forming a replacement for the root of a tooth. As the tissue heals over the next two to six months, the bone around the implant fuses to the implant, creating a perfectly stable structure.

After the patient has healed, Dr. Zebrowski uses the implant to anchor crowns, bridges, or dentures - recreating your perfect smile.
