Missing Tooth Implants in Sterling, VA

Potomac, Ashburn Tooth Replacement

Are you missing a single tooth? Whether this tooth fell out on its own, or was chipped in an unfortunate accident, a missing tooth can draw negative attention to a smile. It can also be the only thing in the way of a patient having a fully restored, beautiful smile. Fortunately, single tooth replacements are a form of dental implants that were created for this very reason. A single tooth replacement involves replacing that missing tooth with a functioning tooth look-alike. It will even be created to match the color, shape, and size of your other teeth!

Procedure Details:

What Are Dental Implants?

In order to understand what dental implants are, an individual first needs to know the materials an implant is made of. A dental implant is created using titanium alloy rods, which are screwed into the patient’s jawbone. This acts as a tooth’s root, and a crown is placed on top of this rod to look like a natural tooth. A dental implant is made of the same materials, no matter how many implants you need. The following outlines a few common dental implant services WestLake Dental Care offers, depending on how many implants/the type that you need:

The WestLake Dental Care Implants Procedure

Wondering what the process is to get a dental implant at the WestLake Dental Care office? When you come in for dental implants, you can expect:

Assessment. During the initial step of the process, your dentist will assess the situation. He/she will determine which options can help to resolve your dental issues. Your dentist will then sit you down, and discuss the options and their advantages/disadvantages with you. If you are eligible for dental implants and have missing teeth, this dental intervention will likely be mentioned by your dentist.

Rods. Once you have decided that dental implants are the best intervention, you will need to schedule an appointment for the titanium rods to be screwed in. These will be screwed into a strong jawbone, and allowed to heal for about 2-3 months. A temporary crown will be put on during this appointment.

Permanent crown. The final step, once you have recovered, is to add the permanent crown. This will match the rest of your other natural teeth. Now your tooth will look and function like the rest of your teeth!
