Dental Implants

Transforming Smiles With Beautiful Results

Ready to take the next step and fill in the gaps in your smile? Are you looking for long-lasting results? At Ashburn Dentistry by Design, we aim to help all our patients live their lives to the fullest with dental implants. When you have a happy, healthy smile, it allows you to laugh, chew normally, speak clearly and participate in everyday activities care free. But if you have missing teeth, it can cause you to miss out on social gatherings, feel reluctant about smiling and even impact the way you go about your day. Dental implants off a modern day solution to transform your smile with healthy, natural-looking teeth.

What Are Dental Implants?

Losing a tooth when you’re a kid can be a fun experience or a rite of passage, but as an adult, it can be traumatic, especially if the tooth came out after an injury. Not only can missing teeth change your appearance, but they can also lead to serious oral health complications including bone loss, changes to the way you eat your food and even your speech.

The good news is that dental implants can greatly improve your overall health and enhance your quality of life. These devices are surgically placed into the jawbone and are designed to replicate the function and appearance of natural teeth. They consist of three main parts:

  • Crown: A dental crown sits on top of the implant and looks just like a regular tooth while also restoring your ability to chew.

  • Abutment: The abutment (tiny metal screw) is attached to the implant body and helps support the fake teeth (crown).

  • Implant Body: The implant body, also known as the titanium post, is what acts as a tooth’s roots and is surgically placed in the gum, which allows it to function.

Dental implants are unique—unlike other forms of restorative dentistry, they are fully integrated into your bone and soft tissue. This is ultimately what makes it look natural for years to come.

Are Dental Implants Right For You?

Dental implants are a reliable, trustworthy way to fill in the spaces in your smile. In fact, the success rate of dental implants is extremely high. According to the National Institutes of Health, 97% of them will last for at least 10 years. One of our experienced dentists will determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants during your initial consultation. In general, you will want to have good overall health and a strong jawbone that is able to support the devices with no signs of periodontal disease.

Our Dental Implants Process At Ashburn Dentistry By Design

The procedure for dental implants is a lengthy process, and we make it a priority to be open and transparent about this with all our patients who are considering this treatment. Although it varies person to person, it most often takes several months before treatment is complete due to a lengthy healing process. Here is what to expect during the surgical process at Ashburn Dentistry by Design:

During this appointment, your dentist will thoroughly evaluate your oral health to make sure implants are a good fit for you.

One of our experienced, skilled dentists will perform the procedure where the implant body is inserted into the jawbone. There, it will serve as a solid foundation for the dental crown.

Your body will need some time to heal after your implant is placed. During this healing time, the implant gradually bonds with your jawbone through a natural process called osseointegration. While this typically takes a few months, it’s a key step in ensuring the strength and longevity of your implant.

Once the area has fully healed, Dr. Khalil, Dr. Han, Dr. Malik or Dr. Merlo will carefully place your custom-crafted crown—designed to match your natural teeth perfectly—to restore both the beauty and function of your smile.
