Rebuilding Smiles & Confidence with Advanced Implants
For more than three decades, Dr. Larry Bryant has been helping patients reclaim their smiles — and their confidence — through dental implants. A leading oral and maxillofacial surgeon based in Glenn Dale, Bryant has become a trusted name in Maryland for advanced dental restoration, combining surgical precision with compassionate care.
At his practice, Bryant OMS Associates, Dr. Bryant and his team focus on restoring both function and aesthetics for patients who have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or other health issues. “Dental implants aren’t just about teeth,” Bryant said. “They’re about helping people regain their quality of life, their confidence, and the ability to enjoy everyday activities like eating and speaking.”
The Science Behind Dental Implants
Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. Once integrated with the bone, they serve as a foundation for crowns, bridges, or full arch restorations. Unlike dentures, implants provide permanent stability and closely mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth.
“Implants are a remarkable solution for anyone dealing with missing teeth,” Bryant said. “They allow patients to eat, speak, and smile without worry, and they prevent bone loss that often occurs when teeth are missing.”
Dr. Bryant utilizes the latest techniques in implantology, including single-stage implants and protocols like TeethXpress, which allow patients to receive their new teeth immediately after surgery. These innovations reduce treatment time, minimize discomfort, and expand the range of patients who can benefit from implants, including those with limited bone density.
A Personalized Approach to Care
Bryant stresses that each patient’s journey begins with a thorough evaluation. This includes reviewing medical history, conducting detailed imaging, and assessing the patient’s overall oral health. From there, a customized treatment plan is developed.
“Every smile is unique, and so is every treatment plan,” he said. “Whether it’s a single tooth, a bridge, or a full mouth reconstruction, we tailor the procedure to meet the patient’s needs and goals.”
Collaboration is also key. Dr. Bryant works closely with restorative dentists to ensure that the surgical and prosthetic phases of care are seamless. This team-based approach results in better outcomes and higher patient satisfaction.
Impact on Patients’ Lives
The benefits of dental implants go far beyond appearance. Patients report improved ability to chew, speak clearly, and smile confidently. These improvements have ripple effects on overall health, nutrition, and self-esteem.
Bryant emphasized that seeing patients regain confidence is one of the most rewarding aspects of his work. “It’s not just about restoring teeth — it’s about restoring lives,” he said.
Commitment to Excellence and Education
Dr. Bryant’s expertise is grounded in extensive education and training. He earned his dental degree with honors from Howard University College of Dentistry and completed oral and maxillofacial surgery training at Woodhull Medical and Mental Health Center in Brooklyn, New York. He also completed a fellowship in orthognathic surgery and dental implantology at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx.
Since 2001, Bryant has served as an assistant clinical instructor in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Maryland, where he shares his knowledge and experience with the next generation of surgeons.
His commitment extends beyond Maryland. Each year, Bryant volunteers in Malawi, providing essential oral and maxillofacial care through the Smiling Surgeons initiative. These efforts reflect his belief that quality care should be accessible, regardless of geography or resources.
“Every patient deserves a smile they can be proud of,” Bryant said. “Our goal is to combine the latest technology with personalized care to make that possible.”
For patients struggling with missing teeth, Dr. Bryant offers hope, expertise, and a path to renewed confidence. His dedication to his craft and to the people he serves has transformed countless smiles across Maryland — and in doing so, transformed lives.
