If you’ve searched for a dental implant provider near Shady Grove Road, you’ve probably noticed something. More than one dental office is in our building.
We’re at 15200 Shady Grove Rd., Suite 208. Another practice operates just down the hall. Same address, different suite. Same street, but a very different approach.
You might be wondering what makes us different. Why would you choose Montgomery Dental Associates & Implantology Center when there’s another dentist literally steps away?
It’s a fair question, and we’d rather answer it directly than pretend it doesn’t exist. So here’s the honest truth about what sets us apart.
We’re Not a General Practice That “Also Does” Implants
Some dental offices offer implants as one of many services. It’s on their menu, right between cleanings and crowns. That’s fine, but it’s not who we are.
Our practice is called Montgomery Dental Associates & Implantology Center. We include implantology in our name because it’s at the heart of what we do!
Dr. Mark Hagigi is a dental implant specialist and restorative expert. He trained at NYU College of Dentistry and has completed years of continuing education specifically focused on implant dentistry. When you come to us for implants, you’re seeing someone who has built his practice around this procedure.
That distinction matters. Implant placement needs precision. It requires an understanding of bone biology, occlusion, soft tissue management, and experience with complex cases. Dr. Hagigi has that experience.
We Handle Everything In-House
Most dental offices refer implant patients to outside specialists. You go to your general Rockville dentist for the consultation. Then you’re sent to an oral surgeon for the implant placement. Then you go back to the general dentist for the crown. You may also be referred to a periodontist for gum work.
That’s a lot of running around and repeating your story. A lot of coordinating between offices that may not communicate well. At Montgomery Dental Associates & Implantology Center, we handle it all in one location.
From the initial consultation to 3D imaging, implant placement, and the final restoration, you’re with one team, one doctor, and one plan. This is better care. When the same doctor plans, places, and restores your implant, nothing gets lost in translation.
We Invest in Technology That Makes a Difference
Our office features advanced technology that most general dental practices don’t have.
3D Cone Beam Imaging
We use cone beam CT scanning to see your jawbone structure in three dimensions. This isn’t a standard X-ray. It’s a detailed, three-dimensional view of your teeth, tissues, and bone.
This matters because implant placement requires precision. We need to know exactly where your bone is thick enough, and where your nerves and sinuses are. We plan the angle and depth of every implant before we pick up a surgical instrument. Three-dimensional imaging makes that possible.
3D Printing
We use in-office 3D printing to create precise surgical guides and dental appliances. These guides help Dr. Hagigi place your implants with exceptional accuracy.
Think of a surgical guide like a custom template. It shows exactly where each implant should go. It removes guesswork from the procedure.
Intraoral Scanner
We use a digital scanner to take impressions of your teeth, so you don’t have to deal with goopy trays and gagging. Just a small handheld device that captures detailed digital images.
These digital impressions are more accurate than traditional molds. They result in better-fitting restorations and are far more comfortable for you.
Laser Dentistry
We use advanced laser technology for soft tissue procedures. Lasers are more precise than traditional tools. They cause less bleeding and promote faster healing.
If you need gum contouring or soft tissue work as part of your implant treatment, laser technology makes the experience easier.
We Built Our Practice Around Patient Comfort
The idea of implant surgery makes a lot of people nervous. We get it because we’ve heard every fear. That’s why we offer multiple sedation options. Nitrous oxide for mild anxiety, oral sedation for moderate anxiety, and IV sedation for patients who need deeper relaxation.
Dr. Hagigi is known for his gentle, anxiety-soothing approach. He’s not the kind of dentist who rushes through appointments. He’s not the kind who talks over you or dismisses your concerns.
One patient shared this review: “Dr. Hagigi is very gentle and explained my dental treatment plan in great detail and showing many photos!” Another said: “The best dental experience I have ever had! The staff is very friendly and caring!” That’s the experience we want for every patient.
We’re Transparent About Cost
Dental implants are an investment. We respect that and don’t give vague cost estimates. We don’t dodge the question. We complete a thorough evaluation and provide a detailed, written estimate before any treatment begins.
We accept most PPO insurance plans. We offer financing through CareCredit, LendingClub, and LendingPoint. We’ll help you maximize your benefits and minimize your out-of-pocket costs. You deserve to know exactly what you’re paying for.
