Dental Implants in Fairfax, VA
The gold standard for replacing missing teeth - permanent, natural, and built to last.
Step 1. When Implants Are the Right Choice
Implants may be right for you if:
- You are missing one or more teeth
- You want a permanent, non-removable solution
- You have healthy gums and adequate bone
- You do not want to damage adjacent healthy teeth
- You are tired of struggling with dentures
- You want the closest thing to a natural tooth
Implants are an investment – but they can last a lifetime.
Step 2. How Implants Work
A dental implant has three parts: the titanium post (the artificial root), an abutment (the connector), and a custom crown (the visible tooth). The post is placed in your jawbone and fuses with it over a few months, creating a permanent anchor.
Once healed, the final crown is placed and your implant functions exactly like a natural tooth. You brush it, floss it, and forget it is there.
Step 3. Your Options
- Single-tooth implant – for one missing tooth
- Multiple implants – for several missing teeth
- Implant-supported bridge – for larger gaps
- Implant-retained dentures – for full arch replacement
- All-on-4 concept – full arch with just four implants
Dr. Afreen will work with you to design a plan that fits your needs and budget.
Step 4. How to Make Implants Last a Lifetime
- Brush and floss daily, just like natural teeth
- Avoid smoking – it slows healing and affects long-term success
- Wear a nightguard if you grind
- Come in for cleanings every six months
- Avoid chewing extremely hard foods directly on the implant
With good care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
