Dental Implants in Rockville, MD: The Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
The Closest Thing to a Natural Tooth
Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, and for good reason. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They preserve your jawbone. And with proper care, they last a lifetime.
At Rockville Smile Studio in Rockville, Maryland, Dr. Rajan places traditional dental implants for patients who are missing one tooth, multiple teeth, or all of their teeth.
How Dental Implants Work
The Implant Post
A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone where the missing tooth used to be. Over the following months, the post fuses with the bone, creating a stable, permanent foundation.
The Abutment
Once the implant has integrated, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the post. This is what your final restoration will attach to.
The Crown, Bridge, or Denture
The final restoration is custom-made to match your natural teeth and attached to the abutment.

Are You a Good Candidate?
Most adults with good general health are candidates for implants. The ideal candidate has adequate jawbone density and healthy gum tissue. If bone loss has occurred, bone grafting may be an option. We will evaluate everything at your consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the implant process take?
The full process typically takes 3 to 6 months, with most of that time being the healing and integration period.
Is the implant surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Post-operative discomfort is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
How much do dental implants cost?
We will give you a clear breakdown of costs at your consultation and discuss financing options if needed.
What if I do not have enough bone?
Bone grafting can often rebuild the bone density needed to support an implant. We will evaluate your bone levels with a CBCT scan.
Can dental implants fail?
Implant failure is rare but can occur, usually due to infection or insufficient integration. Following post-operative care instructions significantly reduces this risk.
