What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts we surgically position into the jawbone beneath the gums. These posts act as anchors for replacement teeth or bridges. The bone bonds with the titanium through osseointegration, ensuring a strong and secure foundation for artificial teeth. Once the healing process is complete, custom-made crowns are attached to the implants, creating a seamless and natural look.

The Dental Implant Process

At Loudoun Valley Dental, we prioritize patient comfort and satisfaction throughout the dental implant process. The journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which we will evaluate your oral health, review your medical history, and determine if you are a candidate for implants. This might include diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays or 3D scans, to tailor a personalized treatment plan.

Initial Evaluation: During our initial meeting, we’ll discuss your dental history and perform a thorough examination. This assessment is crucial for determining the health of your jawbone, as sufficient bone density is required to support the implants. Sometimes, a bone graft may be needed if there is insufficient bone to hold the implant firmly.
Implant Placement: The next step is the surgical placement of the implants. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout. We insert the titanium posts into the jawbone, and the gums are sutured over them to promote healing.
Healing Period: After the surgery, a healing period of several months is necessary to allow the implants to integrate with the jawbone. During this time, we can provide a temporary crown over the implant to ensure you maintain a natural appearance.
Abutment Placement: Once the healing process is complete, an abutment (a small connector) is attached to the implant. This piece protrudes above the gum line and serves as the connection point for the crown.
Crown Fabrication: After we place the abutment, we will take impressions of your mouth to create a custom-made crown that matches your natural teeth in shape and color. This crown will be crafted from durable materials designed to withstand daily wear.
Final Placement: After the crown is fabricated, you’ll return to Loudoun Valley Dental for the final placement. The crown is securely attached to the abutment, providing a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing tooth replacement.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer numerous advantages that make them a superior choice for tooth replacement:

Natural Appearance: We customize the implants to look and feel like natural teeth, enhancing your smile and confidence.
Durability and Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution compared to other restorative options.
Improved Functionality: Implants restore chewing efficiency, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort or concern.
Bone Health: The stimulation provided by the implant promotes bone growth and prevents jawbone deterioration, which can occur with tooth loss.
Minimal Maintenance: Dental implants require no special care beyond routine dental hygiene practices, such as brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups.

Discover Why Our Patients Love Us

My children and I had a great experience. The office staff are friendly and they really keep things flowing without making you feel rushed. My hygienist, Corina, was excellent, extremely thorough and communicative. Dr. Barekzi really took time to talk with me about our teeth, asked great questions and gave sound, practical advice.

To the extent possible, I enjoyed my trip to Loudoun Valley Dental. From the reception desk to the Hygienist, to Dr. Bareksi, everyone was professional, caring, and friendly.

Karina is the best person alive. Not only was she extremely gentle, but super kind and compassionate. She throughly explained how I personally can continue to keep my mouth the healthiest it can be. Def recommend asking for KARINA when making your appointment✨ The girlies at the front desk are always lovely as well!

Dr’s Barekzi is extremely gentle and considerate during check ups and procedures. All staff, front desk, assistants and especially dental hygienists are fun and easy to get along with. Great practice !

I have had nothing but great experiences at Loudoun Valley Dental. Cindy at the front desk has always been so extremely responsive to me and squeezed me in on more than one occasion when I really needed to see the doctor and both dentists are great. It is a perfect example of a small town medical office where the patient is never just a number.

My second visit was to get a crown on a tooth with a slight crack. This visit was also great despite it being for something more involved than just a cleaning. Everyone in the office was helpful and friendly which includes the front office, the couple dental techs I've seen so far, and both dentists. I'm impressed by the pains they take to explain everything and by everyone's skill. I'm happy to have a dental office like this so close to home.

The office staff was exceptional when calling for an appointment and in person. The Dentist and hygienist are kind, educated, listened, explained well and gentle. I would highly recommend this practice.

When I found myself looking for a dentist, I was determined to stay local. There are several dentists' offices in Purcellville/Round Hill, so I asked around. My neighbor recommended Loudon Valley Dental. I am so glad I went there! They are friendly and helpful. I'm a bit dental-phobic, and they have accommodated me wonderfully. Thank you!
