Rediscover the Joy of A Full Smile with Dental Implants
in Arlington, VA
What Are Dental Implants?
Missing teeth can affect more than just the appearance of your smile—they can also impact your ability to chew and speak comfortably, as well as your overall oral health. At Cusumano and Stuver, we offer dental implants as a lasting, effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. They fuse with the bone over time, providing a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth that looks and feels like your natural teeth. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full arch.
Types Of
Dental Implants
Single-Tooth
Implants
Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth, single-tooth implants provide a natural-looking and functional replacement.
Implant-Supported
Bridges
For those missing multiple teeth, an implant-supported bridge offers a stable, permanent solution that doesn't require support from adjacent teeth.
Implant-Supported
Dentures
For full arch replacement, implant-supported dentures provide a secure fit and improved comfort compared to traditional dentures.
The Dental Implant Process
1
Initial Consultation and Examination
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation to assess your dental health and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. Our team will take digital images and X-rays to evaluate your bone structure and plan your treatment.
2
Treatment Planning
Based on the initial findings and your specific dental needs, we craft a personalized treatment plan. This plan details the number of implants required, their optimal placement, and the type of restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) that best compliments your dental structure and cosmetic preferences.
3
Implant Placement
Implants are surgically placed into the jawbone by one of our Dentists under local anesthesia. The healing process, known as osseointegration, takes several months as the implant fuses with the bone to form a strong foundation.
4
Abutment Placement
Once your implants have successfully fused with your jawbone, the next phase involves placing the abutment. This component acts as a crucial connector between the implant and your final restoration, ensuring that everything fits together perfectly.
5
Custom Restoration
Then the custom crown, bridge, or denture is designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. This restoration is then secured onto the abutment, completing your smile.
