Dental Implants in Gainesville, VA
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants replace the entire tooth — root and all — providing a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth.
How Dental Implants Work
A dental implant consists of three parts: a titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone, an abutment that connects to the post, and a custom crown on top. The titanium post fuses with your bone over several months, creating a stable foundation that can last a lifetime.
Single Tooth Implants
When you are missing one tooth, a single implant and crown replaces it without affecting the surrounding teeth. No grinding down adjacent teeth like a traditional bridge requires.
All-on-X Implants
For patients missing all or most of their teeth, All-on-X provides a full arch of fixed teeth supported by just four to six implants. This approach can often be completed in a single day, giving you a new smile immediately.
Implant-Supported Dentures
If you wear dentures and struggle with slipping or discomfort, implant-supported dentures snap securely onto implants placed in your jaw. You get the stability of implants with the convenience of a removable prosthetic.
Sinus Lift
Some patients lack sufficient bone in the upper jaw for implant placement. A sinus lift adds bone to the area, creating the foundation needed for successful implant placement.
Bone Grafting
When bone loss has occurred, bone grafting rebuilds the jawbone to support implants. We perform grafting procedures in-office as part of your implant treatment plan.
