What are dental implants?
They are a long-term solution that closely replicates the appearance and function of natural teeth, helping to restore your ability to chew and regain a confident smile.
Whether you need to replace a tooth, stabilize dentures, or undergo a full mouth restoration, dental implants offer a durable, natural-looking solution that improves oral function and quality of life.
Dental implants are titanium posts that function as artificial tooth roots, used to replace missing teeth or stabilize dentures.

Benefits of Dental Implants
Enhanced Aesthetics
At Potomac Dental Centre, we do both mini dental implants and traditional dental implants. We provide the best customized solution for each patient because we know that every smile is unique.
Improved Oral Function
Dental implants restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Our implants are designed to function just like natural teeth so you can enjoy the foods you love without worrying about loose dentures.
Improved Dental Health
Dental implants can give your oral health a big boost by removing harmful bacteria and supporting a healthier mouth. By replacing decayed teeth, you can restore your smile and help protect your overall health and wellness.
Preservation of Jaw Bone
Dental implants help maintain bone density and facial structure by stopping deterioration. This prevents that “sunken” look that can happen with tooth loss.
Convenience & Comfort
To reduce fear and anxiety, we offer minimally invasive dental implant techniques and IV sedation options. All of this is available under one roof in Hagerstown, MD
Cost-Effective Solution
Our in-house lab reduces costs while ensuring top-tier quality and faster results. We pass along those savings to you through our competitive pricing.
Patient Stories
Frequently Asked Questions
A dental implant abutment is typically the connector piece placed on top of the implant, allowing the final crown, bridge, or denture to be attached. Unlike most offices that use a separate implant and abutment, we offer a one-piece implant system no matter which size you need. This means the abutment is already attached to the implant, eliminating extra steps and reducing the risk of complications. As a result, your implant process becomes more streamlined, allowing for a more efficient procedure and faster healing time.
As soon as you want! We do strongly recommend a soft food diet (think mashed potatoes, smoothies, soups, etc) however, we encourage you to begin your soft food diet as soon as you are comfortable with it.
Yes! All of our implant options come with a 5-year warranty.
The first night after surgery and the first couple of days post-op are typically the most uncomfortable. Since dental implants involve outpatient oral surgery, it’s normal to experience some soreness and mild discomfort. However, most of our patients report that while the first day can be uncomfortable, by the second day they usually feel only mild discomfort, which can often be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Your dentist will prescribe medication for the immediate post-op period, and if your pain worsens at any point, we will address it right away. Each patient’s experience varies, but we aim to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout the process.
YES! We are very proud of our team’s range of skills. From consultation to extraction to surgery to prosthetic to implant crown finish – all is done under one roof. The team you meet when you come in will be the familiar faces you see throughout your entire dental implant journey. Additionally, we have an in-house lab where we fabricate your new smile, ensuring personalized, high-quality results tailored specifically to you.
Insurance coverage for dental implants varies by plan, but our team will assist with claims and work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your financial needs.

Yes. We require upfront payment for all large procedures. This is one of the reasons that we offer 3rd-party financing, to help bridge this gap.
It can be! That is completely up to you and the sedation-certified dentist. Often, many of our full arch patients find doing this procedure under sedation more comfortable. Sedation does increase the fee of treatment, however, we offer 3 different kinds to fit your needs – emotionally, financially, and physically. We offer nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas), oral sedation (oral medication), and IV sedation (sedation through an IV that is monitored and titrated by your dentist).
That is dependent from person to person. Once treatment is paid in full, you can expect to have your surgery within a month. If you are under a time constraint or want a full smile for an upcoming event, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your schedule.
Our goal is to ensure that your new teeth look as natural as possible while providing excellent function and comfort. We prioritize aesthetics, working closely with our in-house lab to create custom prosthetics that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Our skilled technicians collaborate with our dental team to tailor the shape, size, and color of your new teeth to suit your face, smile, and functionality. By using high-quality materials and precision craftsmanship, we aim to give you a smile that feels authentic and boosts your confidence.
Published Research & Studies
Our commitment to excellence is backed by clinical research.
Harvard Health Letter
April 2021
Summary
Advances in dental implants, including smaller sizes (“mini” implants) and high-tech placement methods, mean more people can be candidates for these permanent prosthetic teeth. Mini implants are an option for those with less jawbone, and new technology makes implant surgery faster and safer. They can also anchor dentures.
Journal of Oral Implantology
2019
Summary
A study comparing narrow(mini) and regular dental implants over one and three years found they perform similarly. Narrow implants can simplify surgery and may allow patients to skip complex bone graft procedures, offering a good option for those with less jawbone.
Dentistry Journal
2022
Summary
A lab study found that the length of mini dental implants (8.5 mm, 10 mm, or 13 mm) does not affect how well they resist failing under too much force. This suggests shorter mini implants can be safely used when a patient has less jawbone.
Dentistry Journal
2022
Summary
A 5-year study found that mini dental implants (MDIs) are a very successful treatment for older patients who have no teeth, with 100% success and survival rates. The MDIs, which were used to hold lower dentures, also led to better chewing ability and an increase in bite force over time.
Medicina
2023
Summary
A 5-year study found that using two mini dental implants to hold in a removable partial denture for patients missing back teeth works well. The success rate was high (around 93%) and similar for both the upper and lower jaws. This is a good, low-cost option for people with thin jawbones.
Dtsch Zahnärztl Z Int
2020
Summary
Mini-implants can successfully anchor removable dentures, especially for the lower jaw where bone is thin. They are simpler to place and cheaper than regular implants.
Journal of Prosthodontic Research
2016
Summary
A study of mini dental implants used to hold lower dentures found they had a good survival rate (92%) over seven years. The success of the implants was better when the patient had a full upper denture compared to a partial upper denture.
Materials
2021
Summary
A study confirms that smaller-diameter dental implants are a reliable alternative for patients with limited jawbone, often letting them skip extra surgery like bone grafts. These implants show success and survival rates (around 97%) similar to regular implants over three years.
Prosthesis
2023
Summary
A long-term study found that smaller-diameter dental implants work as well as standard-sized implants in terms of success and survival rates over ten years. The implant size did not affect bone or gum health around the implant. This suggests the smaller implants are a good choice when bone is limited.
The International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants
2019
Summary
A review of many studies shows that mini dental implants used to hold full lower dentures have an excellent success rate. They are a good choice because they are simpler to place, cheaper, and often allow for faster fitting of the denture.
