Dental Implants Leesburg

Lifestyle Benefits

• Your self-confidence will dramatically increase because your smile will once again be complete.
• You’ll be able to drink your favorite hot beverages (i.e., coffee, tea) and worry less about damaging your prosthetics (unlike dentures that can become easily warped).
• With dental implants, there is no need to worry about what foods you can and can’t eat. These prosthetics offer a greater bite force and chewing power, making it easy to consume harder, denser food options.
• Your dental implants will never slip or fall out, unlike dentures. Their surgical placement in your jaw creates a more stable and durable foundation that acts just like regular teeth.

Health Benefits

• Dental implants in Leesburg do not irritate the soft tissues like fixed bridges or dentures. Instead, they mimic the natural tooth structure, allowing them to fit comfortably within the socket, not impacting nearby healthy teeth.
• Your implants will stimulate the alveolar bone and jawbone, allowing you to embrace a more youthful appearance and avoid a potential facial collapse that is often caused by jawbone deterioration. Denture-wearers and those with fixed bridges may still be susceptible to this common problem.
• By replacing your missing teeth, you’ll increase your chances for a longer lifespan simply because you’ll minimize common overall health problems that are linked to tooth loss (i.e., cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.).
• Cleaning and maintaining your dental implants is far easier than if you were to opt for dentures or a fixed bridge. The reason is that your implants work just like regular teeth, so you do not need to remove them to ensure a proper clean.

Long-Term Benefits

• After 10 years, the success rate for your dental implants remains between 90-95%, or even up to 98% when seeing a trusted dentist in Leesburg!
• You’ll enjoy a smile that is designed to last a lifetime as long as you commit to properly caring for and maintaining your new and existing teeth and gums.
• With dental implants, you’ll not only save time but also money. How? You’ll never need denture adhesives, complex cleaning solutions, or appointments designed for relining and replacing prosthetics.

Initial Dental Implant Consultation

During your initial consultation, Dr. Pham will examine your smile, the number of teeth you’re missing, and the strength of your jawbone. Patients with weaker jaws, gum disease, or tooth decay will need preliminary treatment before getting implants. This can include bone grafting, periodontal therapy, or tooth extraction. Although these procedures will add to your overall timeline, they are necessary to create a stable and healthy environment for your future dental implants. It’s also important to maintain a good oral healthcare routine and avoid tobacco use.

Once she decides that dental implants are right for you, we will schedule your surgery. It’s possible that your case might need the help of an additional specialist; Dr. Pham knows some of the most renowned and experienced implant surgeons in the Leesburg area and will ensure that you’re working with the best team for rebuilding your smile.

Dental Implant Surgery

When arriving for your surgery, we will ensure that you’re numb and comfortable by administering local anesthesia. If necessary, we also offer sedation options to give our patients a greater sense of relaxation. Then, we will create small incisions in the gum line to access the jawbone. After drilling small holes in the jaw, we’ll place your dental implants. The number of surgical appointments it takes for placement will depend on how many implants you need. While this procedure may seem painful, patients who have implants relate the surgery to a simple tooth extraction. Then, you will begin your recovery.

Dental Implant Osseointegration/ Abutment

Osseointegration is a process that allows dental implants to become permanent parts of your body. The implants themselves are made from titanium, a biocompatible material that fuses with the jawbone to create strong foundational support. After at least 3 to 4 months of healing, we will be able to take the next step in your treatment by placing metal abutments. These are connector appliances that make it possible for us to mount your custom-made restorations.

Delivery of Dental Implant Restorations

Once your implants have fully healed, and we’ve attached your abutments, all that’s left is to place your restorations. Our crowns, bridges, and dentures are custom-made—we take images and impressions of your smile once the implants are placed and use them to create your restorations. You’ll come into our office for your final appointment, where Dr. Pham will ensure that you’re happy with your restorations before placing them. Lastly, you can walk out of our office with a beautiful, strong, and functional set of teeth!

Missing One Tooth

For a single tooth, your dentist will insert one dental implant into the socket and jawbone. After a few months and it’s fully healed, a high-quality dental crown will be placed on top. The artificial tooth will look and function just like a natural tooth so well that you may even forget which tooth is the prosthetic one!

Missing Multiple Teeth

To replace two or more lost teeth in a row, a bridge can be anchored to two dental implants instead of healthy teeth, which allows you to preserve and retain the natural teeth you have left for much longer. If your missing teeth are spread throughout your mouth, a couple of implants can be used to secure a partial denture.

Missing All of Your Teeth

Even if you have suffered total tooth loss, dental implants can still provide a strong smile. Using only four to six strategically placed implants, your dentist can provide a solid foundation for a full denture. By attaching your prosthetic to implants, you won’t have to experience the embarrassment of a slipping denture when you eat or speak.

Preliminary Treatments & Dental Implant Surgery

First of all, you need to consider preliminary treatments that may or may not be necessary based on your circumstances. For example, some patients need to have teeth extracted before receiving their implants, and the extraction will come with its own cost. If the teeth in question are already gone, then you don’t have to worry about this procedure.

Once the preliminary treatments are taken care of, implant placement surgery will be performed. The procedure itself will incur its own costs, but it should be noted that you’re saving time and money by having the entire implant process completed at Downtown Family Dental of Leesburg instead of having to visit a separate specialist.

The Parts of Your Dental Implant

Each part of the dental implant – the post, the abutment, and the restoration – has its own cost that needs to be calculated separately based on the materials used and the manufacturer in question. Also, it goes without saying that the number of implants used will affect the cost as well; with that in mind, we’ll always aim for solutions that will allow you to replace as many teeth as possible while using a minimal number of implant posts.

Final Dental Implant Restoration

There are a few different types of dental implant restorations:

• Crowns placed on single implants to replace one tooth at a time.
• Bridges that use two implants for support to replace three or four teeth in a row.
• Partial dentures that use a strategic number of implants for support.
• Full dentures anchored to four to eight implant posts to replace an entire row of teeth.

Each restoration will have its own price that will be factored into the overall cost of dental implants.

Does My Dental Insurance Cover Dental Implants?

Remember, our practice is in-network with Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Delta Dental, and MetLife; however, out-of-network plans are still welcome here.
