Dentures in Laurel, MD



Dentures have been around for a long time to replace missing teeth. Luckily, today they are more durable than in the past and are designed to look and feel better than ever before. With good oral hygiene, regular check-ups and cleansings, they should last several years.

Two kinds of dentures for missing teeth

1. Full or Complete Dentures

Full or complete dentures are generally used for patients who need to have all of their teeth removed because of advanced gum disease or tooth decay. There are two types available for missing teeth:


Conventional dentures are placed in the patient’s mouth only after all of the teeth have been extracted and the gums are fully healed. This process can take up to 12 weeks but sometimes earlier. Until then, patients will have to get by without any teeth.

Immediate dentures are another option for patients with missing teeth. These appliances are made in advance and are placed immediately after the patient’s teeth are extracted. However, because changes and shifts in gum tissue occur during the healing process, adjustments are necessary to ensure proper fit and function.

2. Partial Denture

Partial dentures replace missing teeth by anchoring around one or more existing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. These can be either fixed/permanent or removable.

1. Removable partial dentures are for patients who prefer to take them off for cleaning or eating.

2. Fixed partial dentures function the same way as removable ones except they are permanently cemented in the mouth next to neighboring teeth. Fixed dentures are more stable and less likely to slip when eating and speaking.

Cannot recommend Laurel Pines and Dr. Samad highly enough. I came in on a Sunday with a dental emergency (an implant I had gotten from another surgeon had been placed incorrectly, and was being rejected from my body thus causing an immense amount of pain) and I was seen immediately. Dr. Samad and his colleagues not only diagnosed the issue right away, but they also saw to it that I was seen for a corrective surgery within the same week.

First off, I never give anyone 5 stars, however, on a day like today I am. I was not paid to write this nor do I work for the company. I am usually the skeptic when it comes to those things so I want to make it known. I am a customer in need of some major help for my other half. This company is very professional, courteous, clean and respectful. I really appreciate Tammy and staff (forgot the young lady's name at the front desk along with Tammy).

Came in for an emergency root canal on a Saturday afternoon . Dr. Samad and all the staff were amazing. They were very supportive, willing to answer all questions and I could tell they genuinely wanted to help me get better. I highly recommend and they truly deserve 5 stars because 5 star service is what I received.

Dr. Samad is awesome! He is personable, attentive and honest. Excellent service from Tammy in the front office as well. I am excited to be a part of this office long term.

Dr. Samead and Tammy went above and beyond for me when I called with a dental emergency. They took their entire Saturday to help me and I'm in love with the results! Highly recommend !

Dr. Samad and his team we're absolutely amazing. I was nervous about my procedure and didn't know what to expect. They made me so comfortable while I was there. Today is my first day in a long time with no pain! I am very thankful and grateful for they work they've done.
