Dental Implants in Vienna, VA
Missing teeth can change the way you eat, speak, and feel about your smile. Dental implants provide a long-term tooth replacement option designed to restore missing teeth with stability, function, and a natural-looking appearance.
What Are Dental Implants?
Experience, Comfort & Convenience in One Office
Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth by creating a stable foundation for a dental restoration.
An implant is placed in the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. After the implant has integrated with the surrounding bone, it can support an appropriate restoration to replace the visible portion of the missing tooth or teeth.
Dental implants can be considered for different types of tooth loss, from a single missing tooth to more extensive tooth replacement. An evaluation is necessary to determine whether implant treatment is appropriate for your oral health and individual needs.
Did You Know?
Unlike a traditional removable tooth replacement, a dental implant is supported within the jaw rather than simply resting on the gums. This allows implants to provide a stable foundation for replacing missing teeth.

Our team evaluates each patient’s individual needs before recommending implant treatment and can help you understand the options available for restoring your smile.
Single-Tooth Dental Implants
If you are missing one tooth, a dental implant may be used to support an individual replacement tooth.
The implant replaces the support that would normally come from the tooth root, while a restoration replaces the visible portion of the missing tooth.
For appropriate candidates, this approach can restore the open space without relying on neighboring teeth for the same type of support used with a traditional dental bridge.
Replacing Multiple Missing Teeth
Dental implants can also play a role when several teeth are missing.
Depending on the number and location of the missing teeth, implants may be used to support a restoration that replaces multiple teeth. The number of implants and type of restoration needed will depend on your oral health, available bone, and individual treatment plan.
Our team can compare implant treatment with other options, such as traditional bridges or partial dentures, to help you understand the differences.
Full-Arch Tooth Replacement
Patients who are missing all or most of the teeth in an upper or lower arch may also have implant-based treatment options.
Strategically positioned dental implants can be used to support a full-arch restoration, providing an alternative to certain traditional removable dentures.
The appropriate approach depends on several individual factors, so a comprehensive evaluation is necessary before determining whether full-arch implant treatment is right for you.

What to Expect with Dental
Implant Treatment
Evaluate Your Smile
Your dental team will evaluate your oral health, missing teeth, gums, and supporting structures to determine whether dental implants may be an appropriate treatment option.
Plan Your Treatment
If implant treatment is recommended, we’ll develop a personalized plan based on the number and location of your missing teeth and your individual oral health needs.
Place the Dental Implant
The dental implant is surgically positioned in the planned location. The area then requires time to heal as the implant integrates with the surrounding bone.
Restore Your Smile
Once the implant is ready to support the planned restoration, the restorative portion of treatment can be completed to replace the missing tooth or teeth and restore your smile.
