Implant Dentistry

Renew the Appearance & Function of Your Damaged or Missing Teeth

Implant dentistry in our D.C. and McLean dental offices restores the health, function and appearance of your teeth that have been lost, damaged or diseased. Your implant is a titanium post that’s surgically placed in your jawbone to form a new tooth root. Dental implants are crafted from biocompatible titanium to ensure a strong foundation for your new tooth. The new chewing surface of your tooth is created with a dental crown. Your implant will look, feel and function as your natural tooth would. Implant dentistry is most effective when you maintain a healthy lifestyle. It’s also essential that you have a sufficient amount of bone tissue and healthy gums to ensure effective treatment.

Versatile Treatment for Your Missing Teeth

Dental implants are effective for replacing a single missing tooth. Implant teeth are also capable of replacing more than one missing tooth by supporting a permanent bridge, a full bridge or full denture for full-mouth tooth replacement. Implants create more stability for dental bridge and denture treatment. Your implant(s) create a natural-looking and strong tooth replacement that will not shift or move. Care for your dental implants as you would your natural teeth. Daily brushing, flossing and routine dental examinations and teeth cleanings keep your implant and surrounding gum tissue healthy.

Supportive Treatment for Your Implant Dentistry Procedure

Sinus lift augmentation solves your problems associated with bone loss following upper, back tooth loss. The procedure enables proper implant placement that’s otherwise hindered by your lack of bone height. Bone grafting enables the effective placement of your implant when you lack adequate bone to support it. Your implant procedure will take place after a healing period of four months from the time of your bone graft. Technology-enhanced treatment planning accurately evaluates the availability of your jawbone, its quality and location for your implant placement. The implants are left undisturbed for three to four months to allow the bone to grow onto the surface of the implant. This is how the implant is stabilized by the bone. The restorative process involves taking impressions of the implants, selecting the proper shade and bite records. Our lab fabricates custom abutments and crowns or bridges, which are supported by the implants. Implant maintenance is recommended to keep the area clean and free from infection, plaque and tartar.

Contact your D.C. or McLean dentist about implant dentistry, whether you need a single implant or multiple implants. Schedule a consultation to discuss your treatment options for missing tooth replacement and restoration solutions. Our implant dentistry patients come to us from Alexandria, Falls Church, Arlington, Silver Spring, Bethesda and bordering locations.
