For more than two decades, Dr. Larry Bryant, DDS, has provided comprehensive oral and maxillofacial services to patients in the Bowie-Mitchellville region of Prince George’s County, Maryland. His extensive experience includes a vast range of dental reconstruction options and oral surgery.
Dr. Bryant consistently incorporates state-of-the-art imaging, diagnostic, and restorative technologies into his practice. His devotion to modern dentistry ensures patients benefit from leading-edge solutions for complex procedures such as full arch reconstruction and intricate wisdom teeth extractions.
Rebuilding Smiles With Full Arch Reconstruction and Dental Implants
Some of the most impressive advancements in dentistry involve reconstructing one or both arches using dental implants. Dr. Bryant employs TeethXpress Implant services in his practice, which allows him to replace an entire arch using four to six implants.
Dental implants act as roots that secure a custom-designed arch of prosthetic teeth. They eliminate the need for traditional dentures and messy adhesives.
Dr. Bryant and his staff use digital imaging to design the arch, providing single-day service for most patients. The technology allows customizing prosthetic teeth to give the most natural look possible.
The benefits of this approach are significant compared to traditional dentures. Using TeethXpress for fixed restoration provides unparalleled stability and enhanced function and helps preserve the jawbone. It is a long-term solution that is easy to maintain and cost-effective.
Understanding Complex Wisdom Teeth Removal
As a renowned specialist in oral surgery, Dr. Larry Bryant often receives calls from patients who need complex wisdom tooth extractions. Each year, oral surgeons remove millions of wisdom teeth around the globe.
According to Dr. Bryant, “It’s common to have wisdom teeth removed because they often cause problems, including infection, gum disease, and damage to other teeth. Most mouths are too small for the four additional molars called wisdom teeth, and these teeth usually must be removed.”
These removals are frequently more complex than other extractions. Impacted wisdom teeth, for example, are typical. When left in place, they can cause significant oral health issues, such as misalignments.
Impacted wisdom teeth can also partially emerge. This allows them to trap food and debris, causing inflammation and disease. It takes experience and a skilled hand to extract wisdom teeth with curved or abnormal roots, encased in bone, impacted, or in close proximity to other teeth.
Expert Care at Home & Abroad
Dr. Bryant is an expert at removing problematic wisdom teeth in teenagers and young adults under general anesthesia. Performing this complex surgery while the patient is asleep makes the procedure more comfortable and potentially leads to better outcomes.
Dr. Bryant graduated with honors from Howard University College of Dentistry and completed his oral and maxillofacial surgery training at Woodhull Medical and Mental Health Center in New York. He also completed a fellowship program in orthognathic surgery and dental implantology at Montefiore Medical Center in New York.
Along with seeing patients at his practice in Glenn Dale, MD, Dr. Bryant is the Chief of Facial Trauma at the University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center in Largo. He and his skilled team are on call 24/7 to help trauma patients in need of facial reconstruction and treatment.
Once a year, Dr. Bryant joins the Smiling Surgeons team to travel to one of the poorest countries in the world—Malawi, in Africa. According to Access Health Africa, Malawi has just one oral surgeon per 1,000,000 residents. By traveling to this country, Dr. Bryant can help patients with advanced oral disease and jaw tumors.
Dr. Larry Bryant provides cutting-edge technology like TeethXpress and advanced solutions for intricate problems like wisdom tooth extractions. He is improving lives and the health of patients in the Bowie-Mitchellville area and beyond.
