Rebuild Your Smile’s Functionality and Aesthetics with Dental Implant Restorations
Have you lost one or more teeth? We understand its impact on your appearance, aesthetics, and confidence. Dental implants at Ballston Dental Care in Arlington, Virginia, are the most advanced system for replacing teeth. While fixed bridges and dentures offer an effective solution, dental implants are the closest to replicating your natural teeth feel, appearance, and function.
What are our implant-based restorations?
A dental implant is a titanium post inserted in the jawbone to replace your natural tooth root. Our practice works with a trusted office to administer implant surgery. After your oral surgery, you’ll come to our office to restore your implant with a beautiful, custom-made restoration.
We rebuild smiles in our office with the following implant-based restorations.
- Implant crowns: We top off a single implant with a dental crown. Our dental crowns are created with high-quality materials and excellent skills to offer a comfortable fit and natural appearance. A single implant is a self-supporting component, completing your smile without affecting the stability of the surrounding teeth.
- Fixed bridge: Have you lost 1-4 teeth in a row? A dental bridge fits seamlessly in the toothless gap to restore your smile’s functionality and appearance. Unlike traditional bridges, implant-supported bridges don’t need the crowning of the adjacent teeth.
- Implant-supported denture: We can replace an entire arch of missing teeth using a complete denture anchored by dental implants strategically positioned in the jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures are stable and non-removable, just like natural teeth.
Are dental implants repairable?
Our office also offers dental implant repair. Dental implants are renowned for their longevity, but it’s not uncommon to repair them. Usually, the only part that requires repair is the topmost component, the dental crown or other restoration. Since the implant fixture fuses with the jawbone, it becomes part of your dentition and doesn’t require replacement unless it becomes irreparably infected or damaged.
Although the dental crown is made from durable materials, it may break or wear out at some point. In such cases, we’ll replace your restoration with another custom-made restoration to give your smile an all-brand-new look.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
When it comes to teeth replacement, no restoration comes close to dental implants. Here are some benefits of dental implants.
- Stability: With dental implants, you’ll soon enjoy your favorite foods and smile confidently. Because dental implants behave similarly to the roots of natural teeth, they provide incredible stability when using your teeth.
- Natural appearance: Dental implants are restored with natural-looking materials to create a realistic yet stunning appearance.
- Preserved jawbone: Dental implants provide functional stimulation in the area where they are placed to support bone regeneration.
- Simple maintenance: Implant-based restorations don’t require any special maintenance. They are cared for similarly to natural teeth.
- Durability: Dental implants are immune to decay and cavities, making them a durable and reliable option for tooth replacement. Crafted from high-quality materials, they are also designed to withstand the everyday mechanical loads of biting, chewing, and grinding. With proper care, dental implants can last for many decades, providing a long-lasting solution for a healthy smile.

Dental implants are titanium roots, that are replaced with in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. There’s approximately a 95% success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with life like all porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.
