Dental Implants in Ashburn VA

During dental implant surgery at Esthetique Dentistry of Ashburn, VA a patient’s missing teeth are replaced with a dental device called a dental implant. The dental implant is placed into the patient’s jawbone by a professional periodontist using metal, screw-like posts that now serve as the “roots” of the patient’s new artificial teeth. Dental implant is a common permanent solution for patients with lost, missing or extracted teeth. When the procedure is complete, dental implants offer a safe, healthy and long-term solution that looks and feels like the patient’s original teeth.

Did you know that dental implant surgery is one of the most common dental procedures across the United States? Half a million dental implant procedures are done in the country each year and nearly three million U.S. residents currently have dental implants, according to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Some dental implants require more than one procedure, with time in between surgery required to allow the patient to heal. Each patient and each procedure is unique and requires a personalized plan.

Dental implant is a good alternative to denture maintenance for most patients. Implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, without the inconvenience and daily cleaning routine needed for healthy denture maintenance. Dental implants also provide a long-term alternative for patients with natural teeth roots that don’t allow for dentures or bridgework. If just one tooth replacement is required, dental implant can also serve as a connector for a dental crown.
