Dental Implants Reston VA

When you lose a tooth due to injury or illness, you may decide to do nothing. However, this can impact you greatly. A missing tooth can negatively affect your oral health. It can also lead to embarrassment and other social issues. You may be afraid to talk, smile or laugh.

For these reasons, a missing tooth requires a replacement solution. A common way to replace a missing tooth is with a dental implant. Dental implants are very strong and natural-looking. Nobody will be able to tell the difference.

A surgical procedure is required to place the implant in your mouth. You’ll just need to make a couple of appointments to complete the process and you’ll have a gorgeous new smile. 

Dental implants are permanent, so you won’t have to worry about replacing them in the future. Reston Modern Dentistry specializes in dental implants and we can answer your questions so you feel more comfortable with the process. Are you ready to restore your smile? If so, contact us today to schedule your consultation.

Are Dental Implants Right for Me?

Many people can take advantage of the benefits of dental implants. If you have one or more missing teeth, have sufficient bone to support the implants, have healthy gum tissues then dental implants may be recommended. Simply schedule an exam and consultation to learn if dental implants are right for you.

Dental Implant Surgery

The dentist will cut open your gum to place the implant, which is a biocompatible titanium post. This post is inserted deep into the jaw and serves as the tooth’s root. The bone will fuse to the post to make it very strong. This process can take a few months.

The next step is to place the abutment, which is where the crown will attach. The gums must heal for a few weeks. Then the artificial tooth is placed. The crown is created using impressions.

In all, the process requires multiple steps and several appointments. Your gums will need time to heal each time, so expect the process to take about six months.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are the strongest method to replace missing teeth. They are durable and can last decades and even the rest of your life with good care. In addition, they are a good alternative to dentures or bridges. Also, dental implants look and feel like real teeth.

Dental implants can improve your overall oral health. A missing tooth can cause your face to sag, as well as cause your teeth to shift and go out of alignment. Unlike dentures, implants stay in place. They don’t slide, making it easy to eat, smile and talk. Because of this, they are also convenient. They don’t need to be taken in and out of your mouth. 

Dental implants are also very successful. They have a very high success rate. Implants have worked for millions of people and they can work for you as well. Contact our office in Reston, VA, to see if dental implants are the right choice for you.
