Owner. Places every implant herself.

Dr. Fatima Syeda

The most important thing to know about this practice is structural: the doctor who reads your scan is the doctor who plans your case, does your surgery, and sees you at every visit after. There is no handoff, because there is nobody to hand you to.

Why one doctor matters

She owns the practice Patuxent River Dental Care has been hers since 2021. Not a franchise, not a rotation, and not a brand with her photo on it. Her name is on the door, which means she is still here in five years when you come in for a cleaning, and her reputation is the practice's reputation.

Over 3,000 implants placed, more than 500 full-arch cases Full-arch work is its own discipline, separate from routine implant dentistry. Planning a whole arch on a 3D scan, placing implants at angles that use the bone you still have, and delivering permanent teeth the same day is what she does, week in and week out.

She tells you the honest answer, including the small one Sometimes the right answer is a full arch. Sometimes it is a few implants, something smaller, or waiting. You get the recommendation she would give her own family, and if what you need is not us, she says that too.

The same face at every visit First scan, surgery day, every follow-up. You never have to explain your history to a stranger, because the person in the room already knows it.

Two people own your case

People tell us other consultations involved a parade: a greeter, a scanner, a consultant, a finance person, and five minutes of doctor. There is a whole team here too, the front desk that checks you in and the dental assistants who walk you through your scans. The difference is that your case belongs to two people, and they are the same two people at every visit.

Dr. Fatima Syeda

Your doctor

Reads your scan with you, plans your case, performs your surgery, and sees you at every follow-up. The clinical decisions are hers and she makes them in front of you, in plain words.
