At Lorton Town Dental, we want every single one of our patients to love their smiles! If you've been suffering from the pain and embarrassment of tooth loss, Dr. Khattab provides permanent tooth loss replacement options for a natural-looking, comfortable smile using dental implants or tooth implants, at our Lorton, VA dental implant center.

Do I Need Dental Implants?

Are you missing one or more of your teeth? Regular brushing, flossing, and preventive checkups allow some people to maintain their natural smiles for a lifetime. However, sometimes our teeth just can't stand up to the everyday wear and tear we put on them.

Tooth loss can be caused by oral trauma due to an accident or altercation, illness, stress, age, decay, and more. Sometimes it’s just bad luck that causes someone to suffer the loss of a tooth!

No matter the cause of tooth loss, the solution is always the same: to rebuild a natural, healthy smile.

If you’ve lost a tooth (or teeth), tooth implants can help to repair your oral health and rejuvenate your smile.

A Patient Review of Dental Implants at Lorton Town Dental

Before Treatment

After Treatment

Dental implants are often the best solution for tooth loss because they

Look Natural - You don’t want a replacement tooth that looks fake - this could draw even more negative attention to your smile than a lost tooth. Dental implants are matched to the rest of your teeth for a natural looking smile.

Don’t Hurt - A replacement for your lost tooth (or teeth) needs to feel comfortable in your mouth so that you can enjoy your favorite foods without irritating your gums or adjacent teeth. Once healed, dental implants are a pain-free, permanent solution!

Are Easy To Take Care Of - Dental implants are permanent - no slipping dentures or removable bridges required! You can take care of your dental implants the same way you do your natural teeth, with simple brushing and flossing.

Keep Your Mouth Healthy - Bulky dental appliances can cause bone loss and irritation to your gums and can increase your risk of periodontal disease and tooth decay. Dental implants fit perfectly with your natural smile, protecting your jaw and gums.

Can Last A Lifetime - Your dental implants are created to last the rest of your life! No other tooth replacement solution can make that claim.

How Do Dental Implants Work?

Dental implants are titanium posts implanted in your jaw that act as artificial “tooth roots”, permanently anchoring your new tooth, bridge, or denture. Each implant is topped with a dental crown, providing a chewing surface and restoring the appearance of the missing tooth. Modern tooth restoration has never been better!

At Lorton Town Dental, we offer advanced same-day dental crowns. That means our dentists can fabricate your crown in just one visit to our office!

What Type Of Dental Implant Do I Need?

At Lorton Town Dental we will recommend the type of dental implant that will best relieve our patients who suffer from tooth loss. A consultation with Dr. Khattab can help determine what type of dental implant will work best for your smile.

Single Dental Implant

Single Dental Implant

If you’ve lost a single tooth due to decay or trauma, a single dental implant can help you smile with confidence again. Your natural tooth can be replaced with a single titanium dental implant and natural-looking dental crown.

A dental implant will replace your natural tooth’s root and surface, allowing you to smile, speak and enjoy your favorite foods just like you could with your natural tooth!

Implant Retained Dentures

Implant Retained Dentures

Implant retained dentures (also known as "overdentures") can significantly restore the quality of life for many patients. Loss of a tooth can cause problems with basic, day-to-day activities like chewing or even speaking. Our Lorton, VA dental patients can find relief from the discomfort and inconvenience of traditional dentures with these removable "snap-in" dentures that are stabilized using dental implants.

All-on-4 Dental Implants

All-on-4^® Dental Implants

With All-on-4 dental implants (also known as "Teeth-in-a-Day"), your dental implants are stabilized together with a prosthesis that allows you to use your teeth immediately. This type of dental implant is permanent and is not removable.

If you are a good candidate for All-on-4 dental implants, you can expect to have your restored teeth in just one day! Everyone’s case is unique, but the vast majority of the work will be done by our Lorton dentists and our restorative dentistry team before your implant surgery.

Hybrid Implant Dentures

Hybrid Implant Dentures

Hybrid implant dentures are an innovative solution for patients who need to replace full rows of teeth. This restorative dental procedure consists of dentures that are permanently fixed to dental implants. Hybrid implant dentures can be the ideal solution if you currently have dentures but are tired of gum irritation caused by sliding.

How Do I Prepare For My Dental Implants Treatment?

Sometimes, patients require preliminary procedures to prepare their mouths for dental implants. After a consultation, Dr. Khattab may determine that you require one of the following procedures prior to receiving your dental implants:

Bone Graft

Gum Graft

Socket Preservation

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

When asked about the cost of dental implants, our answer is always - it depends. Just like with any surgery, there are numerous factors that can influence the cost of dental implants. We can provide you an accurate estimate after a consultation with our Lorton dentists.

Considerations can include:

The quality, amount, and location of bone. If you require bone grafting, the total costs associated with your implants will be higher.

The number of teeth that need to be replaced and the type of dental implant that will be used.

Dental insurance. Some insurance plans cover only parts of implant treatment. Others have a waiting period for eligibility.

If you’re concerned about the cost of dental implants, call our Lorton dental practice to schedule a free consultation.

A consultation allows us to spend time with you so we can truly understand your oral health goals and financial considerations, while also presenting you with the best possible information about dental implants.

Whether you’re on a budget, have a fixed income, or aren’t sure if your dental insurance covers dental implants, we have a variety of financing plans available for you.

Dental Implant Restoration

Problems with dental implants are rare, but they can happen. If you notice your dental implant has loosened, is causing your gum to swell, or the crown on top of your implant is cracked, call Lorton Town Dental right away! A dental implant can’t fix itself and if you try to treat it at home, you could end up causing more damage to your mouth.
