Dental Implants Alexandria, VA

Dental implants have revolutionized tooth replacement, providing results that are almost indistinguishable from your natural teeth. Dr. Mazhari has completed advanced training in implant dentistry and places all types of dental implants in our Alexandria dentist office.

Dental implants can be used to successfully and securely replace one missing tooth, several missing teeth or to secure a denture when an entire arch of teeth have been lost or removed. Dr. Mazhari will meet with you to thoroughly evaluate your dental health and discuss your goals before recommending the use of dental implants to ensure that you are a good candidate and will benefit from the high success enjoyed by current patients. Dental implants require a sufficient amount of healthy jaw bone structure where they will be placed for the best result and are most suitable for patients in good general health who are free of periodontal disease or other dental concerns affecting remaining teeth or the gums.

Dr. Mazhari has the training and expertise to offer full services for dental implants. She is able to perform the initial surgical phase as well as the final restoration in our comfortable, relaxing downtown Alexandria dentist office. You can experience the benefit of comprehensive, consistent care throughout your dental implant process.

Dental Implants: About the Process

dental implants alexandria vaDr. Mazhari will explain all aspects of your dental implant procedure during your initial consultation, including the treatment schedule and how to care for your oral health between phases.

For all types of dental implants, the process requires multiple steps taking place over a period of several months. This is to allow for adequate healing of the soft tissues between procedures. If a tooth extraction is necessary, this will be scheduled prior to the implantation of the titanium post in the jaw.

In most cases, the surgical implantation of the titanium post will be completed in our Alexandria, VA dentist office. For more complex cases, you may be referred to a local oral surgeon for treatment.

After about 3-6 moths, or once the bone and soft tissues have healed completely, we will attach the abutment, or connector, for the dental crown which will serve ad your new tooth. This part of the process is a brief office visit, during which a temporary crown may be placed to restore full function. Impressions will be taken to ensure your new crown will fit comfortably and blend with your natural teeth.

The final step in the process is the permanent placement of your new tooth- a custom dental crown. Combined with the implanted post, your new dental implant functions much like a natural tooth and tooth root, supporting your long term oral health.

  • Single Implant: used to replace one missing tooth, a single implant replaces both the lost root and the tooth using a titanium post implanted in the jaw and a dental crown.
  • Multiple Implants: for several consecutive missing teeth, implants can be used to secure a dental bridge or partial denture.
  • Implant Denture: also known as All On Four, as few as four dental implants can permanently stabilize a hybrid denture for a secure smile that provides the best possible function and aesthetics. The implanted posts will also reduce bone loss and changes in the shape of the jaw over time.
