Instead of seeing a hygienist at your first appointment at Glen Burnie Dental Group, you will see one of our dentists. Your first visit is an evaluation, and your dentist decides whether a routine cleaning is the right next step or whether something else needs attention first. Why We Start with an Evaluation Jumping straight into a cleaning without an exam means your dentist could miss something important. We may need to address conditions like active decay, gum disease, or infection before a standard cleaning is appropriate.  What Happens at Your First Visit A conversation about your dental history and any concerns An evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, and existing dental work Any necessary x-rays A discussion of our findings and next steps If a cleaning is appropriate, it may happen the same day. If your dentist finds something that needs attention first, they'll explain what it is and why they recommend treatment, so you're never left guessing. Schedule Your First Dental Visit with Us Ready to get started? Call Glen Burnie Dental Group at (410) 969-9300 to schedule your first visit, or book your appointment online. We proudly serve patients throughout Glen Burnie, Pasadena, Severna Park, Millersville, Linthicum Heights, Severn, Hanover, Odenton, Crofton, Gambrills, Ferndale, Brooklyn Park, Arnold, Annapolis, and Baltimore. **Can you handle all my dental care? ** In most cases, yes. Glen Burnie Dental Group is home to six doctors, including two in-house endodontists. All have diverse experience, covering the full spectrum of general dentistry. You can receive all the routine dental care you need, along with advanced services like dental implants and full-arch tooth replacement, in-house. How It Works Say your dentist finds a problem that needs root canal treatment. Rather than referring you to an outside endodontist, your dentist can bring in one of our in-house specialists, often during the same visit or without a long wait for a new appointment elsewhere. You keep the same dental home, and your provider already has access to your history and records. When You Might Still Need Outside Care In rare or highly complex cases, your dentist may recommend care outside our practice. If that happens, we will explain why and help you understand the next step, while coordinating the entire process to make it as simple and stress-free as possible. The Benefits of Care Under One Roof Fewer referrals often mean fewer new offices to find, less repeated paperwork, and a team that already knows your history when you need more than one type of care. Ready to get started? Glen Burnie Dental Group proudly serves patients throughout Glen Burnie, Pasadena, Severna Park, Millersville, Linthicum Heights, Severn, Hanover, Odenton, Crofton, Gambrills, Ferndale, Brooklyn Park, Arnold, Annapolis, and Baltimore. Call (410) 969-9300 to schedule, or book your appointment online. For your convenience, our team also speaks English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, German, Telugu and Farsi. **Should I choose dental bonding or veneers?** Both bonding and veneers can improve chips, gaps, and uneven edges, but they work differently, and the right choice depends on your teeth and your goals. With bonding, we apply tooth-colored material directly to your tooth, while veneers are thin shells we place over a tooth's front surface.  When Bonding May Fit Better Bonding tends to work well for smaller corrections, like a single chip or a minor gap. It typically requires less alteration to your natural tooth, and we can often complete the process in one visit at our Glen Burnie office. When Veneers May Be a Better Choice Our cosmetic dentists often recommend veneers for patients who want to address color, shape, or several cosmetic concerns together. Veneers may offer more durability over time, though this depends on your specific case and habits. What to Consider When Choosing How much change you want The current condition of your teeth How long you want the results to last How much maintenance you're willing to keep up with What your budget allows  Neither option is automatically better. Your dentist can walk you through which approach best fits your teeth, goals, and budget. Ready to get started? Call our Glen Burnie, MD, dental office at (410) 969-9300 or book online to schedule a consultation. Our patients come from all surrounding communities, including Glen Burnie, Pasadena, Severna Park, Millersville, Linthicum Heights, Severn, Hanover, Odenton, Crofton, Gambrills, Ferndale, Brooklyn Park, Arnold, Annapolis, and Baltimore. **Should I save my teeth or consider All-on-X implants?** This depends on the condition of each tooth, not just how many teeth you have left. In some cases, a tooth with a low chance of survival is better removed. In others, a tooth we can still save is often worth keeping. What We Look at Before Recommending All-on-X The health of gums and bone around each tooth Presence of decay or cracks Past dental work, like fillings or crowns Whether the tooth or implant is likely to remain stable long-term Why This Matters Removing a tooth just to make treatment simpler isn't always the right choice, even if All-on-X may be a good option for you later. Your dentist looks at each tooth individually and compares it to what all-on-x could offer. That way, the plan is based on your actual mouth, not convenience. Let Us Help You Decide Not sure which path is right for you? Our experienced dentists at our Glen Burnie, MD, dental office can help you figure it out. Call (410) 969-9300 or book online. We welcome patients from Pasadena, Severna Park, Millersville, Odenton, Crofton, Arnold, Annapolis, and throughout Anne Arundel County. Our team also speaks English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, German, Telugu and Farsi. **What are the signs I might need a root canal?** Several signs indicate you have an infected or abscessed tooth, but severe dental pain is probably the most common and well-known. If your symptoms are sudden or severe, you may be able to get same-day care at Glen Burnie Dental Group rather than waiting. Signs to Watch For A toothache that doesn't go away Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold Pain when you bite or chew Swelling or tenderness in the gums Darkening of the tooth A pimple-like bump or drainage on the gums Pain following an injury to the tooth Keep in mind that some teeth that need root canal treatment show few or no symptoms at all, which is why routine checkups are so important. If Your Symptoms Are Severe If you experience sudden or intense tooth pain or swelling, you shouldn’t wait for a routine appointment. Call us right away at (410) 969-9300. Glen Burnie Dental Group offers same-day emergency appointments whenever possible. With two in-house endodontists, we may be able to begin treatment the same day, rather than waiting on a separate referral. Your dentist will let you know what's possible for your specific situation. Call Us Now So We Can Help You Dealing with sudden tooth pain? Our Glen Burnie, MD, dental office can help. We also welcome patients from Pasadena, Severna Park, Millersville, Odenton, Crofton, Arnold, Annapolis, and throughout Anne Arundel County. For easier communication, our team members speak English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, German, Telugu and Farsi. **Why do I need periodontal maintenance instead of a regular cleaning?** Periodontal maintenance and a regular cleaning serve different purposes. A regular cleaning maintains healthy gums. Periodontal maintenance manages gum disease that's already been diagnosed and treated. What Makes Perio Maintenance Different Once we have treated your periodontitis, your gum health needs closer attention. Periodontal maintenance visits include measuring the space between your teeth and gums, checking for signs of returning infection, and cleaning below the gumline where disease is most likely to return. Why You Need More Frequent Check-Ins Periodontitis can return without regular monitoring Catching early changes helps prevent more advanced treatment later Your gum measurements and response to past treatment guide your schedule Home care alone usually isn't enough once we diagnose periodontitis We base your maintenance schedule on your gum health history, not a general rule. Many patients need this care every three to four months, rather than the twice-a-year schedule used for routine cleanings. Questions About Periodontal Maintenance? Have questions about your own maintenance schedule? Call our Glen Burnie, MD, dental office at (410) 969-9300 to schedule, or book online. We are pleased to see patients from surrounding communities, including Pasadena, Severna Park, Millersville, Odenton, Crofton, Arnold, Annapolis, and throughout Anne Arundel County. For easier communication, our team members also speak English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, German, Telugu and Farsi. **How long does it take to get a dental implant?** Timeline varies by patient, but the full process, from evaluation to final restoration, can take 3–6 months. Some of that time is active treatment, but much of it is healing. What Affects Your Implant Timeline Whether we need to remove a tooth first Whether you need bone grafting before we can place the implant How long your body takes to heal and bond with the implant How many teeth are being replaced Implant Treatment Milestones vs. Completion Placing the implant is not the same as finishing treatment. After placement, your implant needs time to bond with your jawbone before we can place your final crown. This healing period often takes a few months on its own, so reaching a treatment milestone doesn't mean your smile is complete yet. Every patient's timeline looks a little different. Your dentist can give you a clearer estimate once your evaluation is complete. Call Us for More Dental Implant Information Ready to find out what your timeline might look like? Call our Glen Burnie, MD, dental office at (410) 969-9300, or book online. We are pleased to welcome patients from all surrounding areas, including Pasadena, Severna Park, Millersville, Odenton, Crofton, Arnold, Annapolis, and throughout Anne Arundel County. For ease of communication, our team also speaks English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, German, Telugu and Farsi. **Can a dentist save a tooth during a dental emergency?** Sometimes, yes. Whether we can save a tooth depends on the extent of the damage, whether there is an infection present, how much healthy tooth structure remains, and how quickly you can see us. What Affects the Outcome How much of the tooth is broken or missing Whether the root or nerve is exposed How long the problem has gone untreated Whether infection has spread to surrounding tissue Treatment Options to Save a Tooth Depending on what your dentist finds, treatment may involve a filling, a crown, a root canal, or, in some cases, an extraction. Coming in sooner rather than later generally gives you more treatment options, since delayed care can sometimes limit what's possible to save. Help for a Knocked-Out Tooth A knocked-out tooth is a critical dental emergency that requires immediate attention. We cannot guarantee the tooth can be saved, but proper handling and getting to our office as quickly as possible improve the odds. Handle the tooth by the crown only; do not touch the root. The root should stay moist, so place it inside your cheek pocket or in a container with milk (never water!).  If you're dealing with a dental emergency, call our Glen Burnie, MD, dental office at (410) 969-9300. We see patients from throughout Anne Arundel County, including Pasadena, Severna Park, Millersville, Odenton, Crofton, Arnold, and Annapolis.  **How long do teeth whitening results last, and how can I maintain them?** Whitening results typically last several months to a couple of years, depending on your habits and how well you care for your teeth afterward. Staining gradually returns over time for most patients, since the same things that caused it before can cause it again. What Affects Teeth Whitening Results Some of the factors that can impact how long whitening results last include: Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco use Your daily oral hygiene habits Regular preventive care and dental cleanings How your teeth naturally respond to staining Keeping Your Smile Bright Brushing and flossing regularly helps lift stains and prevents them from settling in. Routine teeth cleanings with your hygienist remove deeper surface stains, along with plaque that can dull your smile. If you choose our Zoom! take-home whitening system, you can use your custom tray and leftover gel for touch-ups at home. Keep in mind that any crowns, fillings, veneers, or bonding won't whiten along with your natural teeth, so shade differences can become more noticeable over time if only your natural teeth are treated. We're Here to Answer Your Whitening Questions Ready to talk about maintaining your results, or starting whitening for the first time? Call our Glen Burnie, MD, dental office at (410) 969-9300, or book online. We also welcome patients from Pasadena, Severna Park, Millersville, Odenton, Crofton, Arnold, Annapolis, and throughout Anne Arundel County. Our team also speaks English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, German, Telugu and Farsi, so you can always communicate clearly and confidently. **How long does it take to get used to new dentures?** Most patients need a few weeks to adjust to new dentures, though everyone's timeline is a little different. Eating, speaking, and general comfort often improve gradually as you get used to wearing them. What to Expect with New Dentures Eating may feel awkward at first. Starting with softer foods and adding more variety over time can help. Speech may sound slightly different for a while as your tongue and lips adjust. Increased saliva is common in the first few days and typically settles down. Mild soreness or pressure spots can happen as your mouth adjusts. When to Call Us Some adjustment is normal, but you should not ignore ongoing pain, sores, or loose-fitting dentures. Follow-up visits let us make adjustments so your dentures fit and feel the way they should. How to Care for Your Dentures Follow these steps to get the most out of your dentures: Clean daily, as recommended by your dentist Continue cleaning your gums and any remaining natural teeth Remove your dentures as recommended, often at night Keep up with regular dental visits, since fit can change over time Adjusting to new dentures takes some patience, but you do not have to navigate it alone. Call our Glen Burnie, MD, dental office at (410) 969-9300, or book online. We welcome patients from surrounding communities, including Pasadena, Severna Park, Millersville, Odenton, Crofton, Arnold, Annapolis, and throughout Anne Arundel County. Our team also speaks English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, German, Telugu and Farsi. **How do I clean and care for my All-on-X dental implant bridge?** If you’re missing several of your teeth, you know how difficult it can be to eat and speak properly, and you probably don’t feel much like smiling. Fortunately, with an All-on-X dental implant bridge, you can replace an entire upper or lower arch and get back to living your life. Let’s look at how to care for your new smile. Caring for Your All-on-X Dental Implant Bridge Once you’ve replaced your missing teeth with an All-on-X dental implant bridge, you’ll want to keep it looking and feeling its best. Here’s what you can do to clean and care for it: Maintain good dental hygiene by brushing your implant bridge twice a day. Try to avoid abrasive toothpaste, as it can scratch your bridge. Clean underneath your bridge with a water flosser, floss threader, or interdental brush. This will keep food and bacteria from accumulating and causing problems. Rinse your mouth with antibacterial mouthwash to reduce harmful bacteria. Avoid smoking and other tobacco products; they can increase your risk for implant failure. Visit our dental office every six months for a routine exam and cleaning; that way, we can monitor your oral health. Tooth Replacement Glen Burnie, MD To learn more about how All-on-X dental implants can restore your smile and oral health, please don’t hesitate to contact our dental office! At Glen Burnie Dental Group, we’re committed to helping you and your loved ones achieve the best smile possible. ## Pages - [About](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/about-us) - [Services](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/services) - [Practice Photos](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/office-tour) - [Testimonials](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/testimonials) - [Smile Gallery](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/smile-gallery) - [Blog](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/blog) - [Technology](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/technology) - [Financial](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/financial-info) - [Patient Info](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/patient-information) - [Forms](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/forms) - [FAQs](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/faqs) - [Contact](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/contact) - [Sitemap](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/sitemap) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.glenburniedentalgroup.com/privacy-policy)
