Dental Implants

Potomac, Ashburn Implant Providers

When someone experiences the permanent loss of a tooth, it brings with it a myriad of emotions. Sometimes the loss is a direct result of poor oral hygiene, but teeth can also be lost because of a physical injury, poor genetic oral health, and even just getting older. Unfortunately, losing a tooth has numerous adverse effects.

When someone is missing teeth, their jawbone begins to weaken, and they might experience facial collapse. There is also an emotional toll, as patients often feel like those around them are judging them for having a missing tooth. This can lead to poor self-confidence and even withdrawal from normal social behaviors.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a synthetic tooth that is installed directly through the gums and into the jawbone, creating a permanent solution to tooth loss. The implant is composed of a root and a crown. The root is made of titanium or similar metal and is the part that rests in the jawbone. It is durable and sturdy, designed to withstand the rigors of chewing, speaking, and biting. The crown is made of porcelain or precious metal fused to porcelain.

What Are the Benefits of Cosmetic Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer several benefits that other restoration solutions cannot, including but not limited to:

All the functionality of a natural, healthy tooth

Durable and long-lasting, resisting plaque and tooth decay

Easy maintenance, only requiring brushing and flossing like natural teeth

Sturdier than dentures, which can slip around in a patient’s mouth

Completely natural-looking to blend seamlessly with your smile

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

Unfortunately, most dental insurance carriers in Virginia and across the country consider dental implants to be a cosmetic procedure rather than a necessary dental service. This means it's likely that your insurance carrier does not cover the cost of dental implants. On average, the cost of a dental implant ranges anywhere from $3,000 - $5,000. While this may seem somewhat pricey, it is important to note that this price includes the cost of the implant, crown, and surgery. Additionally, dental implants are designed to last for as long as 20 years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

  • Am I a candidate for dental implants?

    Candidates for dental implants must exhibit the following qualities: 


    • Damaged and/or missing teeth
    • A strong jawbone that can support dental implants 
    • Non-smoker
    • Good overall health
  • What are dental implants made of?

    Dental implants are made of three main components: 


    • Titanium alloy rods. These are screwed into the jawbone and act as the tooth's natural "root".
    • Abutment. This connects the rod and crown together. 
    • Crown. The crown will cap the top of the tooth and it will resemble the shape and color of your natural teeth. 
  • How long do dental implants last?

    In general, regular cleaning and exam appointments take up to an hour. Some can take a little longer if extensive cleaning is needed, you’re due for X-rays, or there are any special circumstances.

  • How do I properly care for my dental implants?

    The best way to care for your dental implants is to brush and floss them, the same way you do with your natural teeth! 

I've had excellent care for years. Dr. T is great at explaining everything, making it less stressful, and making sure you feel comfortable. Everyone is friendly and service is prompt. I would recommend Westlake Dental Care to anyone.
